From the time I started as the boxing writer at USA Today in early 2000 until leaving ESPN in April 2020, I was responsible for the divisional rankings for each outlet. At USA Today, I updated them once a month until leaving in early 2005. At some point during my time at ESPN they became weekly, but I had not done any divisional rankings until I recently did an updated top 10 heavyweights and a couple of other divisions. Reader reaction was overwhelming, which I appreciate. So, why not keep it going? Here are updated rankings for the junior featherweight division, which has had significant recent fights.
These rankings are on the money! Appreciate your work, Dan.
Man, all of these guys have impressive records. Thanks Mr. Rafael for the superb list.
