This from Boxrec.com:The ratings program has recently been updated. The new formula is optimised to give the best prediction rate and is statistically more accurate than the old one. Our ratings are created to give the maximum objective accuracy and not to "look good", reflect intuition or bow to opinion. We are aware that there are perceived anomalies at the moment and we continue our efforts to make them as perfect as mathematically possible.

I noticed this tonight,For the Alltime HW division they use to have Ezzard Charles #1,Now he is #4,with Ali ,Louis,Tyson,1-3. I still have to wonder about the accuracy of these ratings. Jimmy Bivins #10 ,James Toney#14,Chris Byrd#25,just to name a few. Any thoughts on the accuracy of their ratings now?
