    Looks like the boxrec rankings.
    I'm not 100% sure how their rating point system works, but there's something funky about it that's for sure.
    I don't take boxrec's rankings seriously at all. It's too inaccurately mathematic. Boxing is more subjective than any other sport. Calculators can't determine greatness in the sport.

    How is Mayweather on that list when he only boxed twice at welterweight against limited fighters?

    In answer to your question IMO its not a good list.

    I don't know about #1, but Emile Griffith deserves his spot up there. Anyways the list is missing a bunch of names.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    yeah man i have no idea how floyd made that list. he doesnt stay at any weight long enough to make a list like this really. i think he's had three fights at welter so far though. shambra mitchell, judah and baldomir.

    No Mickey Walker? No Trindad? No DLH? Mayweather spent 3 minutes at 147 and makes the all time list

    My favorite Boxrec list is the Featherweight rankings.

    They have Hamed as the #3 Featherweight of all-time, one spot behind Willie Pep. Lol.
