Notes
The above relates to the top 15 for each of the four major sanctioning bodies which I have listed alphabetically i.e IBF then WBA etc.
They do not all take into account recent results.
Where there is a different rating in brackets it indicates the true ranking as some of the ranking spots above are marked “vacant”.
No other British fighters are rated.
Some fighters are not rated if they are in consideration for a title shot of one of the other bodies. For instance the WBC do not rank Derek Chisora, Audley Harrison (even though he has had his WBA title shot), Matthew Macklin, Kell Brook, Paul McCloskey and Kevin Mitchell.
