Bull sh!t Floyd originally jumped 140 cause Kostya was there . He won at 147 and never got rated by anyone at 140 .
Its why allot of people are knockers of him and think he picked his way through and aimed at his marks.
Just cause he fought at the weight twice but then beat others at 147 doesnt mean the points from his 147 stint should be also added to the 140 should they?
If they should in your mind ;whats the difference between that and what your supporting in the above posts against Killersheeps true valid point against that system?
Surley you think it is a crap system really down deep don't you?

Well that's exactly it I think.. I wrote about 16 pages and 2 points back why I thought their was arguements for both... But this is a perfect highlight of why skipping a division (140) and destroying someone above it (147) (a fighter who was FAR from the biggest challenge in that higher weight anyway), does not mean you are going to knock off the top person at the weight below (140, and a tough Hatton)
It's a tough tough call in itself to knock someone off the top of 140 who has over and over earned his spot there, by someone who went from 1 fight at 135 to 1 fight 147. And not against the very top guys at either of those weights...
I think it's a case where Boxrec needed to go: "Hey, look what the points system gave us guys? Pac above Hatton at 140?.. I think we need to adjust that. Considering .... blah blah blah.." (every point that has been made against it in this thread)
That makes more sense..

Come'on people, Killer started this thread protesting why PAC is rated #1 by BoxRec at 140 when in fact PAC has not fought at 140 (Killer's main argument why PAC can't be rated at 140)... Then I pointed out that BoxRec, WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, Fightnews ranked boxers even if they haven't fought in a certain division...
Now if PAC will be rated by BoxRec at 147, a division he just fought at, BoxRec will still rank PAC as #1 at 147 because PAC has the highest points among boxers at 147 according to BoxRec computerized points system. Higher than Margo, Mosley, Cotto...
Does anybody has any problems with BoxRec ranking PAC as #1 at 147?? PAC has just fought in that division...
BoxRec, WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, Fightnews, Ring Mag ranking system could be flawed... Better live with it people since there's no perfect system... They could be flawed on how they calculate the rankings and others were flawed by corruption and boxing politics...
That's all my points...
.
that is weird, although i think pac is going to beat hatton. I do not agree in ranking pac as number 1 in a division he has not fought in yet.
boxrec is only good for boxing records, NOT RANKINGS!
well maybe boxrec are just saving themselves the time of having to change it after pac vs hatton![]()
My friend Tito, the answer is a big NO ... The flaws been there long time ago... No matter how many grumblings threads you started, how many emails you sent to these rankings organizations, how many protest letters you sent to them, they will still stick to their own ratings system since they can back it up. They can justify their own published rankings since they have some basis of doing it even how "flawed" it is to the eyes of many people...
Better ignore it or just live with it... That's life in boxing...
