TRS Boxing Ratings: Part One

 The first TRS Boxing Ratings of 2022 are here.

Thanks to Ramon Malpica, Vince Samano, John Herndon, and C.J. Burney for their time and participation.

A few notes.

Since Canelo Alvarez (Super Middleweights) and Josh Taylor (Junior Welterweights) are undisputed world champions, they are recognized as such and there are five challengers to their crown which creates a "Top Six" in those divisions.

Also, Erislandy Lara is still rated at junior middleweight although he holds a paper title at middleweight.

WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade is rated at middleweight and super middleweight as Andrade has not vacated his title at 160 pounds but is fighting at 168 for an "interim" title in his next fight vs Zach Parker.

The WBO has told Andrade that should he win against Parker, he will have ten days to decide which division title he will retain.
