why is AJ now rated above USYK on boxrec ? *

Boxrecs rankings are mathematical. Seems Fury passed points to Negganu, then Joshua took them off him due to their methods of victory.

So now we have a situation where Joshua got Furys points before Fury vs Uysk happened. Then the dodgy scorecard turned it to SD for Uysk also gained him less points than a UD.

Time to upgrade the algorithm!

It's a bit like post office`s horizon system. It works generally but sometimes goes wonky, and the suits will defend it in cabals

Time to ignore the algorithmn.

Congratulations to Usyk for becoming our new undisputed champion. All hail the new heavyweight king... Anthony Joshua.

That's pretty crazy how Usyk can be undefeated, beat Fury, beat Joshua twice... and 3-loss Joshua is still higher-rated, without having a competing win that would justify the higher rating. Usyk was ranked ahead of Joshua, then Usyk beat one of the best heavyweights of the past decade... and that caused Usyk to drop below Joshua. I guess I could understand it if Usyk won a SD against like a journeyman, but not against Fury.

I was wondering this myself
