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 light heavyweight division, which has had significant recent fights.
Also how crazy is Boxrec to not have Bivol in its rankings but has 2 men Pascal + Smith that he totally schooled + won by very wide margins.
We need to see Beterbiev vs Bivol asap before Beterbiev gets anymore older, time is not on his side.
Top Rank needs to make that unification next. No delaying. No Marinating !
As a Staten Islander I would love to see Marcus Browne fight again it been along time since fought ..
why do almost all your top 10 ranked (heavyweight, lightweight, etc.) boxers not have definitive dates for when they will fight again?
