I love how people use boxrec like it’s a legit ranking
that's hard to say. pro matchmakers use boxrec. ever heard someone say "he's not in the top 50?" think they're talking about an alphabet rankings? think ring mag puts out a top 50 memo somehwere and all these guys are reading it?
it's not perfect, but boxrec ratings are definitely a good place to start when you're looking into the ranking of a fighter without a world title.
as for the TS, you ahve to consider that professional boxing was illegal in russia / ussr, and all their boxers stayed in the amateurs. where they got the f#cking tar beaten out of them by 18 year old american kids like cassius clay, joe frazier, and george foreman.
