This answer may have no bearing on the rankings of sanctioning bodies whose criteria besides statistics and opinions also includes other rules and incentives in order to be included in the top of the ratings.
Pound for pound is based more on opinions than just statistics. As to world rankings by an entity using computer evaluation which can be overwritten by the majority opinion of a select panel of uncompromised worldwide boxing writers and broadcasting commentators may be an answer
Inoue is a great boxer, but Crawford is the pound-for-pound number one. I don’t know how the ranking works or if there’s a clear criteria, but it seems like there are some personal opinions and inaccuracies involved.
I believe that boxing needs one entity to evaluate with transparency and credibility. Soon, I will support a project for that matter…!
An emergency meeting of the Board of Directors of the IBO will be convening today. The President @IBOPresident has proposed an IBO ban on boxing activity in Russia and further to remove Russian boxers from our ratings while the invasion of Ukraine continues
@MikeCoppinger How about some additional “facts”? @mikecoppinger
Tarver v Johnson/Tarver v Johnson II/Tarver v Roy Jones Jr/Tarver v Hopkins - only the IBO title on the line
The list goes on...
Why haven’t you ever taken the time to speak to me? I’m waiting for the phone call.
