Anyway good luck to the guy hope he can find something else to do or moved back down because he look just like another guy in this weight class.
I can answer why you think it's ridiculous this man was rated P4P above Ward? First some stats for perspective (seeing as you love boxrec).
44-0 (
38 KOs)
FOUR-weight "world" champion.
LINEAL flyweight champion (one of the most decorated/strongest linage divisions in the entire history of boxing).
SIXTEEN consecutive world title fight wins (ALL won/defended on foreign soil/THREE different countries).
NINE victories over former/current "world" champions.
So ignoring his visually brilliant style/skills, accomplishments and treasure trove of silverware - you can't understand why a man that's fought 100% of his title fights outside his own native country could possibly rank above a man that's had the privilege of never leaving home (USA)?
Hmm... I wonder why you're struggling with this concept?
