Pound for Pound info
WBN’s pound-for-pound rankings are based on – World title wins, multi-weight titles, caliber of opponents, and manner of victories. Longevity and activity in a calendar year are also taken into consideration.
Fighters earn more ranking points for defeating opponents and are also rated in the Top 50. Star ratings are based on achievement in the sport.
*Fighters who fail to arrange an upcoming fight for twelve months will, therefore, forfeit their ranking (barring injury).
Please share your thoughts about our top 50 on Twitter @worldboxingnews.
