boxrec rankings

I noticed that you had Demetrice King ranked at 69 in the heavyweight division and had Alonzo Butler ranked at 70. Did you realize that Butler has a win over King and a better record? I noticed that Butler has been dropping in the rankings, but the quality of his opponents have been improving slightly....they are still not world class opponents, but they are worthy of his ranking improving.....not dropping. Has Butler's ranking just not been updated or am I missing something or do you have a formula that I am not aware of? Thank you for this service....as a fan, I do really enjoy it.

If you are interested in finding out how the rankings work, follow Marina's links.

The short answer to your question is that Demetrice King just stopped Bermane Stiverne, who I believe was more highly ranked than anyone Alonzo has beaten since he and King last fought.
