Just looked and their next listed '5 star fight' is Tony Bellew against Isaac Chilemba, yet Froch vs Kessler is only 4 stars. :huh

Must be something to do with drinkability rating, as Chilemba v Bellew is perfect for getting the beers in before the Froch fight at the O2.

I don't even try and understand the boxrec rankings ever since they had Andre Dirrell as #1 at smw a few years back.

They were both 5 stars,

No idea how it works but its madness that froch-kessler isnt 5stars

 

[sim_reiss]

All bouts are rated with 0 to 5 stars.

Men

5 stars = both opponents have 331 ratings points at least ~ best 100 boxers
4 stars = both opponents have 188 ratings points at least ~ best 300 boxers
3 stars = both opponents have 83 ratings points at least ~ best 900 boxers
2 stars = both opponents have 24 ratings points at least ~ best 2700 boxers
1 stars = both opponents have 1 rating point at least = rated boxers
0 stars = one opponents has not even 1 rating point at least = not rated boxers

So the 4 star Froch-Kessler is an error according to their own criteria..

He was listed as the 4th greatest SMW of all time at one point by Boxrec.
