TRS Boxing Ratings- Part One

   The TRS boxing ratings return with their final rankings for 2021.

This is the first one in six months and I prefer to stay between three to four months for each rating period,

I hope to have a shorter time between these and the next one so I have a fresh slate to start 2022.

Thanks again to Ramon Malpica, Vince Samano, and John Herndon for their time in voting.

We welcome C.J.Burney to our rating committee as well in his initial slate of rankings.

Two small notes that will may make you wonder about the rankings.

In the Super Middleweights and Junior Welterweight divisions with fully unified champions, Canelo Alvarez and Josh Taylor are the champions with five challengers below them.

However, I didn't tell Ramon, Vince, or John about those changes, so the numbers will not add up as usual in those two divisions.
