BoxRec: Jeff Horn #1 Welterweight

[The Big Dunn]

At the start of the year, Thurman, Brook, Garcia and Manny were all seen as the top of the ww ladder. Many had Manny #1. Thurman beat Garcia. Spence beat brook. Horn beat Manny (although I had Manny winning).

Horn has the best win out of him, thurman and Spence so i can see why boxrec has him #1 even though I think that is ******ed and I disagree.

If anything I think we need to realize having Manny ranked #1 was too high at this stage despite his ATG career. He probably should've been 3rd behind Thurman, Brook and ahead of Garcia and Spence,

I guess that makes Jeff Horny one of these new age rappers

Lol no and no

He didn't beat him and Manny isn't one of the best anymore

Before the fight Manny was clearly seen as top 3 welterweight. Horn beat him so...

And by round 2 of the fight it was clear that's no longer the case

About Manny being Top 3?

I think he still beats guys like Chaves, guys who stand in front of him and get tagged. He just can't deal with people who move.

Manny needs to retire already unless it's a cherry pick fight against an mma dude.

Boxrec is all based on a who-beat-who algorithm where you get a guy's points for beating them.

After so many years and so many criticisms, I'm not really sure it's any dumber than the average Ring or ESPN list. Those are popularity contests.

If you average the two out maybe.

Exactly. Manny still beats the most of welterweights.

At least the ones that stand and trade, yes.

He tried to get the MMA cherry pick but he aint worth as much as another guy that's better than him so he missed out on that, so he took cherry pick Horn and was robbed, poor Manny cant get a trick.
