There u put it consisely what i always say. What bugs me is when they make it as if it is a totally legit ranking, Boxrec even giving it top billing over the rankings.

Boxrec's front page: First comes results and schedule. OK good enough. Then comes something called "#1 Male". What the heck us that, some new nonsense? Then comes "lb. for lb." That's what they have on their front page. Two meaningless nonsense lists!
