List of current boxing rankings
This is a list of current men's professional boxing rankings, which includes the latest rankings by each one of the sport's four major sanctioning bodies, as well as other well-regarded sites and entities.
Overview
[edit]As professional boxing has four major sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) each with their own champions, the sport does not have a centralized ranking system. The rankings published by these organizations share the trait of not ranking the other organizations' champions, as each one of the sanctioning bodies expects their champion to frequently defend their title against their top-ranked contender. The WBA often has more than one champion, none of which are ranked by the other three sanctioning bodies. Their "Super" and "Regular" champions are excluded from the rankings but their "Interim" champion is affixed to the number one spot. The IBF's protocol is for the top two spots in its rankings to remain vacant until two of its other top-ranked contenders face off, at which point the winner takes one of those two places.
In addition to the rankings published by the major sanctioning bodies, the TBRB and The Ring each publish their own independent rankings, not excluding any organizations' champions. The aim of both the TBRB and The Ring is to crown a single champion for each division. These lists are subjective and derived by a committee. Since the 1990s, other parties have experimented with objective computerized rankings, but these are sometimes regarded as incapable of accounting for all of boxing's quirks and subtleties.[1][2] The most widely known computerized rankings are published by BoxRec and updated daily.[3] The following is a list compiling the latest instalment of all the previously mentioned rankings. There are 18 weight classes ranging from Heavyweight to Strawweight.
