Box.Live Power Rankings – Lightweight

Updated: 13 Nov, 2026

Box.Live's Power Rankings provide a simple method for ranking active fighters 1st through 42nd in the lightweight division.

Outside the top 10 or so fighters, who are more likely to be ranked for their current ability and standing at lightweight, others are considered by their potential future influence as mandatory or eliminator contenders. Every fighter is either a champion or ranked by at least one organisation at lightweight, so inactive fighters may not appear until they fight again.

Order: Ring champion, Ring positions 1–10, then other world champions, then by combined ranking points (WBC/IBF/WBO/WBA).

Key: m = mandatory challenger.

A few of these missed the mark. Ryan Martin holds two belts but is only ranked high on one list(#7 IBF) and is #13 on WBO. He is undefeated

  Only the IBF have updated for this month, so most of them won’t reflect his win over Rojo yet. Expect to see him in the WBC top 15, at least, within a few weeks.
