Boxrec.com Pound for Pound list?

Question

Miguel Cotto, Paul Williams and ivan Calderon all dont even make there top 25 list is this even a credable site for rankings. They also have scheduled alot of fights that arent even signed. Whats up with that

Answer 1

every one has their own opinions. Manny Pacquaio is not even top 3 for them. try to think of your own rankings by yourself

Answer 2

Boxrec seems to be a very biased site as far as rankings go, i visit the site quite often to check on dates or results and you can always see the p4p listing when you first open the site. They claim that the rankings are done on a points system but it just seems impossible to work this system out, they had Floyd top for a while but Hopkins over took him at some point and i thought to myself that they must of been ranking BHops competition higher than Floyds so i thought fair enough, i thought to myself then that surely Pacquiaos competition must rank just as good as Hopkins and Floyds but he was still barely making the top three. Calzaghe then beat Hopkins and took over the top of the Boxrec list for as few weeks which again i thought well i suppose if they had BHop top then they have to put Joe top after beating him but then after three weeks they made a complete joke of their rankings they put Pavlik top after beating Lockett in his second defense of his of his first title against a fighter ranked barely in the top 50 and at the same weight he has always fought what an absolute joke. Pacquiao meanwhile had moved up again and beat a champ in Diaz and claimed a belt at his fourth different weight but still barely makes the top three. Like i said at the top the list is either completely biased towards certain fighters and against others or the points system they supposedly use is completely flawed as far as ranking pound for pound fighters. I would put all three fighters you have mentioned up there p4p at least level with Pavlik all three have fought and beat better competition in their respective weight classes than he has.
