HOW OUR RATINGS ARE COMPILED RECORDS PROVIDED BY BOXREC.COM

Championship vacancies can be filled in the following two ways: 1. The Ring’s Nos. 1 and 2 contenders fight one another. 2. If the Nos. 1 and 2 contenders choose not to fight one another and No. 1 fights No. 3, that matchup could be for the Ring title if the Editorial Board deems No. 3 worthy. A champion can lose their belt in six sit- uations: 1. The Champion loses a fight in the weight class in which they are cham- pion; 2. The Champion moves to another weight class; 3. The Champion does not schedule a fight in any weight class for 18 months, although injuries and certain other

unforeseen circumstances could be taken into consideration; 4. The Champion does not schedule a fight at their championship weight for 18 months (even if they fight at another weight); 5. The Champion does not schedule a fight with a Top-5 contender from any weight class for two years; 6. The Champion retires. The Ring Editorial Board considers input from the Ratings Panel of boxing jour- nalists from around the world and then decides collectively what changes will be made. That applies to both the pound-for- pound and divisional ratings.
