I hope you’re doing well.
I’m writing to ask for some clarification regarding recent changes to Victor Nagbe’s ranking on Boxrec.com.
After the Nikita Tszyu vs Koen Mazoudier fight on 28/08/2024, Victor was ranked #5 in the Super Welterweight division, with Koen dropping to #8. However, about a week later, without any new fights or events, Victor’s rank dropped from #5 to #6, and Dan Hill moved up to #5. This is surprising given that Victor had, and still has, a superior record (8 Wins, 3 KOs, 1 Loss, 0 KOs) compared to Dan Hill (6 Wins, 3 KOs, 1 Loss, 1 KO).
Interestingly, after Dan Hill’s fight on 14/09/2024, the rankings automatically returned Victor to #5, but a few days later, his rank dropped again without any fights taking place. This has raised some questions, particularly around the possibility of human intervention in the rankings.
Could you please help us understand how these ranking changes occurred and whether there were any factors or interventions involved? We are trying to get a clearer picture of how the system works and what might have influenced these adjustments.
Please note that we have read the information about how the Boxrec algorithm works. But any information you can provide regarding this case would be very helpful.
BoxRec ratings only depend on official results and the BoxRec ratings of the opponents at time of their bout.
That means BoxRec ratings are completly and automatically calculated by computer and are not influenced by any rankings in ABC organizations or titles.
The changes you mention are the pure result of these calculations.
Greetings
Martin Reichert
