TRS Boxing Ratings: Part One

      Sorry these are a bit late and might even be unusual due to fights that have happened since I received votes.

I lost a voter and between short time on my part and waiting for that person, these are a little late.

Also, it's been close to a year since the last ratings, so that is why so many that were unranked last time are ranked now.

This will not happen again.

If you and anyone else are knowledgable in the fight game and want to vote in the next rankings, LMK.

A few notes- Oleksandr Usyk is still recognized as a full four title champion, even though he has been stripped of the IBF title because that title is currently vacant.

Same for Canelo Alvarez, who has been stripped by the IBF, but remains full champion for this period as the IBF belt is vacant.

David Benavidez and David Morrell for this rating period only are ranked at both super middleweight and light heavyweight as both men last fought at 175 pounds but held minor titles at 168, so next ratings period, it will be decided on one division for each.

This will skew the ratings a bit as some voted for each man in one division and not the other, both divisions or neither.

Terence Crawford, who has won a world title at 154 pounds and still holds the WBO title at welterweight for now, isn't ranked at 154 as his win came after voting was completed.

Crawford is still ranked at welterweight for those reasons this time.

At junior welterweight, voting had concluded when Jose Valenzuela upset Isaac Cruz for the WBA title, which is why Cruz is ranked and Valenzuela is not.
