SugarJ's World Boxing Rankings

[Lineal]

I love your rankings..... tremendous job.
But man, I cringe seeing Andre Ward's name up there.

Thank you very much. The support from you guys has been awesome.

The Ward thing has been the biggest talking point since I started publishing my ratings. For me he defeated the Champion under the weight limit. If Dawson had have won I would have awarded him both Championships as well because the fight took place within the weight limits of both divisions.

I read he just relinquished his SMW belt (about time!), and will now concentrate on 175. Personally, I hope he just goes away. He's lost any good faith with me, being so crassly inactive over the last few years. I don't see how he's even relevant in boxing at this point. His wanting to fight someone like Rohan Murdock (??) on the Cotto-Canelo card (and betting rebuffed by the NSAC) doesn't help his case, either.

I'm not disagreeing with you but many see him as a tough fight for anyone around the weight. I was kind of wishing he was looking to make up for lost time but it doesn't seem that way.

MIDDLEWEIGHT:

Number one Super-Welterweight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) claimed the World Middleweight Championship with a twelve round unanimous decision over defending Champion Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs). Cotto slips to second. Everyone rated two through six last time drops one spot each to accommodate Alvarez’ ascent to the top of the division. Daniel Geale (31-4, 16 KOs) previously seventh exits as he intends to campaign at Super-Middleweight.

SUPER-WELTERWEIGHT:

Number one Super-Welterweight and new World Middleweight Champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over defending Middleweight Champion and number four Super-Welterweight Miguel Cotto (40-5, 33 KOs). As both fighters weighed within two pounds of the division limit they are deemed as active at this weight. Both retain their rankings. No changes.

SUPER-LIGHTWEIGHT:

Previous number eight Jessie Vargas (26-1, 9 KOs) exits due to inactivity at this weight. Antonio Orozco (23-0, 15 KOs) and Humberto Soto (65-9-2, 35 KOs) advance a position each to eighth and ninth respectively. Eduard Troyanovsky (23-0, 20 KOs) enters at tenth.

SUPER-FEATHERWEIGHT:

Francisco Vargas (23-0-1, 17 KOs) advances from fourth to second after stoppage last week’s number two Takashi Miura (29-3-2, 22 KOs) in the ninth round. Miura falls to fourth.
