Josh Taylor’s victories over Jose Carlos Ramirez and Regis Prograis would have gained the Scot a lot of rankings points, but his other victories weren't particularly remarkable.

Also, Gervonta Davis has competed in more bouts, fought more world champions, engaged in more world title fights and achieved success in more weight classes.

The American has also faced more guys with 10+ BoxRec points than Taylor has.

For the record, I’m not suggesting that Gervonta Davis is a better fighter than Josh Taylor, but I can understand the reason why he’s accumulated more BoxRec rating points.

Look at Terence Crawford's ratings, he's fought nobody of any note within the last four years, but yet he's still rated highly by BoxRec.

It just goes to show that it's impossible to use a formula to accurately gauge ratings.

You know, that exactly such issues and possible solutions are discussed in the ratings thread. You know from the ratings thread, that there is an actually considered rating option, where Crawford would be #2 in his division. And you know that with the same option Davis would be only close above Josh Taylor.

In spite of that you play the big man here. Your are a troll,, what a pathetic character, I now learned. Nobody to take seriously, sorry.

If solutions are discussed nothing is ever put into action apparently because they've sucked since always, and still do. Davis isn't Top 5 at 140. Barely Top 5 at Lightweight either.

Look who is below him, friggin Taylor and Uysk!
Has Floyd been slipping John free tickets to his strip club or something, because we all know he loves a lap dance

P4p isn't as bothersome as 40. Wilder at 12 is madness. Fury, aj & charlo look pretty freaking high. Inoue too low.

Firstly, welcome back
And what disturbs me is who the heck has Tank beaten?
Old Gamboa is his best win. Even Maggie had trouble doing his top #5.
Barrios - a third tier SLW is probably his 2nd or 3rd best win.
It's baffling.

Thank you. I'm an eye tester as much as resume with p4p. Too hard to stretch the time line. Id have Josh higher there too, but tank looks the part and I rate barrios. LSC is a bit undervalued IMO.

LSC has been prime for cherry picking. Left it all in the ring with Frampton and never shown that level since.
