How important are Boxrec and Ring magazine rankings?

[UNBANNED]

Boxrec’s rankings are a JOKE and everyone knows it and no one takes it seriously.

The Ring’s rankings have 100+ years of history and have been the go-to rankings for their entirety.

To say it’s the opposite is asinine and borderline retarded.

Do you support Boxrec’s rankings?

I just checked out TBRB and I appreciate you mentioning it because I hadn't heard of it before.

When golden boy purchased Ring Magazine, many (most) of the people who did the rankings left and started TBRB.

Happy to help. Wish more people knew about them. Best rankings available IMO and always the first I check.

My favorite rankings are the TBRB, ESPN and the Ring. I personally think they usually have fair assessments for P4P and top fighters in each weight class. Boxrec's rankings are sometimes suspect but it's a great resource to look up literally anyone who's ever had a fight professionally.

Do you support Boxrec’s rankings?

Definitely. At least boxrec isnt LITERALLY OWNED by a SINGLE PROMOTIONAL company. No bias in BoxRec rankings even if their "algorithm" isnt yet a finished product.

Do you consider Boxrec and Ring magazine rankings when assessing a fighter and/or his resume?

And how important do you think those rankings are?

I don't base everything on it but I do think they provide a point of reference.

What do you guys think?

Generally yes, boxrec is usually more accurate as the ring magazine seems to favour American fighters slightly however both are probably the most fairest indicators of where a fighters position is.

Boxrec can have flaws around age in fights and fighters who move class - so they are two things I usually consider.

The Ring’s rankings have nothing to do with GBP and are put together by a panel and are clearly solid rankings.

Whereas Boxrec’s rankings are clearly terrible in every way.
