Boxing Rankings
10 November 2020: The nemesis-to-be of Lightweight king Teofimo Lopez is now ranked #2 in the division. While it’s true that Yuriorkis Gamboa is more of a steppingstone than a threat at this point, Haney now has reason to be ranked over Rances Barthelemy who hasn’t done much since drawing with Robert Easter a year and a half ago.
Twenty-two-year-old Flyweight Junto Nakatami knocked out Giemel Magamo, the #6-ranked contender in the division in 8 rounds, and assumes his ranking. Magamo tumbles to #10. Luis Concepcion is bumped out.
Two-division (legitimate) champion Terence Crawford, now #3 at welterweight, faces the unranked Kell Brook, though we’re not sure why. There are many boxing pundits who argue that Crawford is the best fighter in the world, though there are far more serious challenges around him at the upper end of the rankings, and fighting guys like Brook and Khan do very little for his legacy.
Two contenders at jr. bantamweight face off this week as well: Joshua Franco is #6 and Andrew Moloney is #8. That will be sure to shake up the top ten.
