Comments Thread For: Big Wins Shakes Things Up: BoxingScene Competition Index November Update

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In boxing, body of work matters. What just unfolded before our eyes does as well. When trying something new, tinkering to get to the right formula is part of the fun. In an effort to highlight which prominent fighters are fighting the genuine contenders around them, and which could do more, this strength of schedule/competition index hit an inevitable snag.

Lomo 2 losses in 15 fights moves him out of top 10. I can go 1.Spence 2. Crawford 3. Canelo or flip flop them 1-3. Everyone else is debatable.

YES. This list is nearly perfect. Anyone who says otherwise is just biased. It's using straight up facts to justify the list and it's keeping fighters from getting undue credit from C-level sparking.


And this is as factual as it gets:

Terence Crawford, despite being perceived as one of the leading candidates for the top pound for pound spot, slipped dramatically in this comparison of rated competition. Brook was unrated by TBRB or Ring coming into Crawford, and in fact did not have a win against a fighter rated by either in any weight class since Shawn Porter. Regardless of whose fault it is, one of the sport’s most talented fighters isn’t getting to make the most of the back end of his prime. In terms of the way competition is evaluated here, Crawford just scratches the top thirty.

Feels wrong to include Briedis but not Usyk.

I understand the point system but then you dont have them ranked in order by points... so whats the point?

Agree and tried to address. Usyk can jump quick with some serious biz at heavyweight.

Creates a baseline with the other two factors also given value. Don’t know if it’s perfect but I think this is closest to what I’m trying to highlight. As is, where each rates in each category is there. Loma will dip in total points when the Rigo win ages past 3 years for instance
