Boxrec places great importance on HIGH LEVEL wins and especially on beating fighters who have not lost in their last 'x' number of fights (let's say 6 fights). Fury beating beat Klitschko and Wilder when they had both gone around a decade undefeated & both were world title holders. Joshua has the deepest resume, but many of those guys had recent losses when he fought them (within their last 6 fights).

I don't know the details of how it is calculated (and it's frequently criticized), but that's my 2 cents.

Boxrec has proven themselves to be a biased company.
A few months ago they admitted that they would count Certain fights by Certain promoters in Mexico. While not recording other fights that Boxrec determines are
" Fake Fights ".
F*** Boxrec.

AJ got KOed by Ruiz. No one should be demanding that anyone else place him top 2 right now.

[Bob Haymon]

He lost a some points for fighting Pulev who is a bum. What's odd is that Fury didn't lose as much points when he fought Wallin and Schwartz and those were bigger mismatches.

- -U simpletons make it easy!

Timeline: Baby Hughy blows industrial strength HOT necessitating a replacement fighter. Both Fury and Deyonce offered career purses and both turned it down, but after other Americans and Whyte also turned it down, Fat Andy emailed Hearn to offer himself as the ceremonial sacrifice and the rest is history.

U sweet for Sissyboys?

It's OK!

Boxrec seems to change it's algorithm every few months. Before the Fury-Wilder rematch Joshua was #1 after beating Ruiz. Now the loser of the Fury-Wilder rematch has leapfrogged him? GTFOH.

- -Everyone and their mother has always valued high level wins...Duh!

They post their algorithm criteria on their website, but it's just baseball sabermetrics gibberish come to boxrec and only for stat geeks.

They had the best of all the rankings at the beginning of the year, but without warning threw a monkeywrench into the works that had all the regulars hopping mad, and that is a future predictions formula that body by geeks like.

Now they have the worst...go figure...

[Robbie Barrett]

Joshua after the Ruiz fight had 817.9 points

Now has 564?



Boxrec are ****ing with the points to promote Wilder.

[JOITATS]

boxingrec blatantly ranks welterweights&above and american fighters higher than everything else

theres no fair algo that can be applied to rating fighters, ‘someone’ would have to rate them from the start
