Box.Live Power Rankings – Middleweight

Box.Live's Power Rankings provide a simple method for ranking active fighters 1st through 40th in the middleweight division.

Outside the top 10 or so fighters, who are more likely to be ranked for their current ability and standing at middleweight, 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 middleweight, 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: (c) = champion, (int) = interim, (reg) = WBA regular when multiple champions, [m] = mandatory.

2 thoughts on “Middleweight Rankings & Champions

    • Umm…GGG officially retired last year, with each of the sanctioning bodies(excepting WBO) in which he held a title at one time making an official press release, honoring him and the occasion.
      Jermall Charlo, it could be said, has many “in the business” more than a little skeptical whether or not his personal problems of the last two years are behind him.
      If he fights again and beatsa quality opponent, within 6 months, you can expect him to be ranked again(likely top 5) at that time.
