Born in Belleville, New Jersey, U.S.A. in 1982, I have followed the sport of boxing since I was six-years-old. After losing my job in February 2009 due to the economic recession, I created this website to promote the sport. Now, I cover fight cards ringside. I will provide press releases from promoters, previews of upcoming bouts, interviews with various fighters, and recaps of major televised fights.

Boxing Ledger's Top Ten Pound-For-Pound Rankings

As of Sunday, April 14, 2013:

1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Sergio Martinez
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Andre Ward
6. Manny Pacquiao
7. Wladimir Klitschko
8. Vitali Klitschko
9. Carl Froch
10. Guillermo Rigondeaux

Pound-For-Pound rankings were established to determine if a fighter, who is paramount in his weight class, is also superior when compared to other fighters atop their own respective weight divisions. How did I formulate these current rankings? It is comprised of careful observation, analysis and evaluation through the years on four specific criteria.

1) Quality of Opposition - What level of competition has each fighter faced?

2) Performance Level - How did the fighter fare against the various styles he encountered?

3) Age - Did the fighter defeat his opponents while they were in the prime of their careers?

4) Significance of a Loss - If a fighter lost, how did he lose? Was it via decision or knockout? Did he sustain a loss at the hands of high-quality competition? Was he at the peak of his career when he suffered a defeat?

FLOYD MAYWEATHER RING STATISTICS PUT PUGILICIST ATOP BOXING HISTORY

Las Vegas, Nev. (February 24, 2012)...To coincide with boxing superstar Floyd "Money" Mayweather's birthday today and upcoming media tour to officially announce his May 5 fight against WBA Super Welterweight Championship Miguel "Junito" Cotto, the seven-time world champion was featured in ESPN The Magazine's "Analytics Issue" (March 5) for some of his extraordinary boxing statistics.

Citing CompuBox, boxing's computerized scoring system, writer Igor Guryashkin breaks down Mayweather's ring genius. He tops all current fighters with a connect percentage of 46%. The system, which calculates every punch a boxer throws and lands, found that only boxing greats Joe Louis and Lennox Lewis hold an advantage over him at just a 2% edge. But no one comes close to the undefeated fighter in regard to opponent connect percentages.

Guryashkin states, "...perhaps even more impressive is Mayweather's opponents connect percentage: 16%, the lowest ever recorded in CompuBox's 4,000-fight database. The astronomical 30% difference between the two stats stands atop history's pugilistic pantheon."
