Bridgerweights are ranked now at HW?

When did this change? Before, I think Babic and the others weren't listed among the HW, now I see Babic and Lukasz Rozanski are in the top 50

The editors assign a boxer to a weight division. This is not part of the ratings algorithm.

Zhang ahead of Hgrovic

I thought for 12 months, you couldn't be ahead of a fighter you lost to. Hrgovic beat Zhang in August 2022

Zhang beating Joyce probably overcame that defeat, no?

But shouldn't he still be behind Hrgovic? Maybe I have to go read the FAQ again...

Winner above loser:

For the last 18 months a winner of a fight is kept above the loser.


To me that sounds like the winner (Hrgovic) is kept above the loser (Zhang) for 18 months
It should probably say, "this can be overcome by the loser having success in the future over a higher-rated opponent" ?
I really thought that if Zhang moved up due to future results, Hrgovic would move up along with him to stay ahead; or that Zhang's "ceiling" would be Hrgovic for 18 months

Thanks SportsRatings, I added this to the BoxRec Ratings Description

How is it possible to have Shields #15 and Taylor as #2 n Cameron #1 smdh I have lost so much respect for Boxrec. It's obvious why it's like that and it's not no rating's system yea rite it's humans and their disturbed minds.

Missing competition in the higher weight divisions ...

A full explanation of the ratings can be found here http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/BoxRe ... escription

Beterbiev 24th p4p... He fought Koelling for the IBF, Govzdyk WBC and Smith Jr WBO, All by KO. the only fighter on the list who unifies twice. He KO all his mandatories by KO and all his opponents. I don't know nothing or the algorithm need to be review.

Stupid question, how do I view number ratings on BoxRec? I have it set to display them on my account settings but all I see is the star rating.

Only special roles can see the rating points currently.

At some stage will regular users be able to see the ratings again?

This is not in the pipeline.

I know we're (sadly) not getting the numerical ratings back but I at least wish we could see the rating progressions on the fighter pages, even if they're in the 0-5 star format. It was super useful to be able to see a fighter's career trajectory and the quality of each of their opponents at the time of the fight.

For me ithe stars are shown, even when I am not logged in.

I see stars, but only 1 set, which I thought was the "bout rating" rather than 1 rating for each fighter. Is that not the correct way to interpret it?

Are the ratings for the first of that year, or the end of that year?

Yes, the bout ratings are shown.

This makes review of non-active, lesser known fighters nearly impossible. Why is this useful feature not being brought back? There is no transparency to the ratings without them.

Even active fighters are trending towards 12+ month layoffs, so we end up with "NA" vs "NA" (especially on PBC cards). At the very least, would you consider increasing inactivity to 15 months?

It would be nice to have the individual fighter ratings for each fight. Even in star form would be good if there are no plans to make the numerical ratings public again. I think it's really important to be able to gauge a fighter's career progression and strength of opposition.

Inactivity always was after 12 months before COVID-19 and only was temporarily set to 18 months due to the special situation then.

Is it possible to make a system where fighters with fights booked return-to/stay-in the rankings? To avoid examples like usyk disapearing from the rankings in the week leading up to his fight with DDD....

There are too many no shows with scheduled bouts ...

Why Dmitry Aulov is rated that high?

He had the only DQ win against a boxer who knocked out a pro debut in his pro debut

[SportsRatings]

How is Teofimo Lopez "inactive" and not ranked at Super Light ?

He just won 1.5 months ago, and he beat the #2 guy ?
