Boxrec rankings are just generated by computer so obviously understandable if they fuck up, although I really can't understand how a computer can calculate a defeat to Calzaghe puts Hopkins ahead of Manny with a win over Marquez but I digress.

The fightnews ranking is just retarded though. How can Manny be ranked in a weight class he hasn't fought in, much less ranked as number 1?

He should be ranked either in the lightweight or welterweight category right now, either number 2 in the lightweights behind Marquez, or around number 5 at welterweight behind the belt holders and Cotto.

Rank him at light welter only AFTER he's fought there.
