Only your past fights are considered.

There was recently a change made that would affect boxers who fought winless opposition. This change obviously hurt your ranking.

last week we've made an an improvement to the ratings: wins over no win boxers are under no circumstances awarded with points

you can find a full explanation of the ratings here :-

That is the strangest rating system I have ever seen. Does this mean that boxers have to suffer for poor matchmaking or shrinking violets of would be opponents? Kali Meehan's last fight was supposed to be against an undefeated fighter. He chickened out and the promoter threw Kali a ham and egger. Kali KOed him in three and you dropped him ten places! Was Kali supposed to lose a payday through no fault of his own?

He did not loose points for KOing his inferior opponent.

All boxers lost points, whose rating depended on points from defeating winless opponents, because the Boxrec Rating rules were changed.

Never mind the high rating he has with the WBA.
