OUR MISSION

The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board was formed in October 2012 as a volunteer initiative to provide boxing with authoritative top-ten rankings, identify the singular world champion of every division by strict reasoning and common sense, and to insist on the sport’s reform. Board membership includes fifty respected boxing journalists and record keepers from around the world who are uncompromised by so-called sanctioning bodies and promoters.

LATEST UPDATE

3 February 2025

 

David Benavidez, “the Mexican Monster” many believe was ducked by Canelo Alvarez at super middleweight, just launched himself from #6 to #2 at Light Heavyweight. Despite a knockdown while off balance in the eleventh round, he blunted the offense of the undefeated David Morrell by investing in body shots and volleys that just kept coming. He looks like the next challenge for the winner of the upcoming rematch between division king Artur Beterbiev and #1 contender Dmitry Bivol. John Einreinhofer, an American member, proposed Morrell to enter at #10 despite the loss, and it passed. Although we rarely enter a losing fighter barring “a good loss” or something akin to a heroic performance, members thought that the logic of advancing Benavidez from #6 to #2 pointed at Morrell’s recognition as a contender-already.  

 

Jr. Middleweight Jesus Ramos, #9, moves up to #7 by turning back the challenge of former contender Jeison Rosario. He scored a seventh-round knockdown after a 3-2 combination en route to an eighth round stoppage. Rosario, only 29, is urged to reconsider his future … the damage is mounting.  

 

Featherweight Stephen Fulton rises from #6 to #4 after repeating the result though not the performance against Brandon Figueroa. Their first clash, at jr. featherweight in 2021, was a very good one that Fulton won via majority decision. The rematch was a relative yawn, but Fulton got an easy and unanimous win.
