Why is a two time champion, with an extensive record, ranked below a guy who's never been world champion, who has actually lost to Froch?

I think the system has a flux capacitor issue.

:OhYes:

It's stats with no subjectivity so you will always get crazy-seeming anomalies.

The alternative is to introduce some element of subjectivity to it, which isn't the idea.

I agree, not a flawless system and there is no way Dirrell should be ahead of Froch, based on past performances, fine acting jobs and rubbish excuses as to why he had to withdraw from the Super Six.

Now if Boxrec rankings take those things into account, then maybe he should be ahead of them all?
