The Entire Irish Pound-for-Pound Rankings according to BoxRec
One of the handiest tools in modern boxing is the unofficial record-keeping website BoxRec.com.
The website features the full records of pretty much every professional boxer in history.
In addition to a record of fights, the website also offers a computerised rankings system (based solely on results).
While far from perfect, something which they admit, and open to being manipulated by clever matchmaking, the rankings are always interesting to observe.
