TRS Boxing Ratings: Part Two

     Part two of the TRS boxing ratings continue with our look at lightweight through the light flyweight and under divisions.

Thanks as always to Ramon Malpica, Vince Samano, and John Herndon for taking their time to participate.

At this writing, Gervonta Davis is eligible to be rated at junior lightweight (although he is not) due to his win over Leo Santa Cruz to earn the WBA title in the division.

Davis is eligible in the lightweight division due to his announcing his intent to fight in the division and holding a minor title at 135.

Leo Santa Cruz is eligible to be ranked in the featherweight division (due to holding the WBA title) and at junior lightweight after fighting his two most recent fights at that weight.

I don't really like rating fighters in two divisions, but in the case of Davis, Santa Cruz, (and Canelo Alvarez in part one), I'm doing so reluctantly for now.

Kosei Tanaka is rated at flyweight, but has vacated his WBO title in that division since some of the votes were received, so he will be at 115 pounds for the next ratings period and explains why such an excellent fighter dropped two spots without fighting.
