Campillo should be above Erdei (who I'm not even sure deserves to be ranked at all)
Cotto should be above Alvarez


Also this is a completely different issue really but I'm not sure it's fair that guys like Peterson and Tarver are unraked due to failed drug tests, while guys like Chavez Jr are constantly avoiding any tests.

Ah fair enough. Didn't realise that.

But my general point still stands about the testing that goes on.

I don't think there any real way of keeping on top of that. Will just take guys out when they have failed tests and keep them out until the box again.

If you took out everyone that could be and probably is on PEDs there wouldn't be many people left unfortunately.

Maybe being arsey here, but I don't like to see Haye ranked that highly on the basis of his inactivity and the lack of other guys in that top 15 that he has fought. I know people theorise he'd beat the likes of Chambers and Povetkin etc, but in the HW division he hasn't won a fight against any of the top 15, and his last "meaningful" win was against Valuev, nearly 3 years ago now.

I don't know whether I consider him better than all the guys below him or not, but there are certainly guys below him who have done more to deserve their ranking.

From flyweight down the rankings have rarely been updated from what I can see, so I've made a revision of those lists. Feel free to use them as you wish:

Flyweight
1. Sonny Boy Jaro
2. Brian Viloria
3. Hernan Marquez
4. Moruti Mthalane
5. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
6. Giovani Segura
7. Milan Melindo
8. Rodel Mayol
9. Toshiyuki Igarashi
10. Rocky Fuentes
11. Julio Cesar Miranda
12. Edgar Sosa
13. Ricardo Nunez
14. Juan Carlos Reveco
15. Wilbert Uicab

- Top 5 virtually the same, just swapped Mthalane with Pong.
- Miranda lost to Mayol last time out, so dropped him down and included Mayol to the rankings.
- Melindo, Fuentes and Igarashi all moved up a bit.
- Inc. Nunez, Reveco. Removed Sakata and Panomroonglek.

Light flyweight
1. Roman Gonzalez
2. Ulises Solis
3. Donnie Nietes
4. Kompayak Porpramook
5. John Riel Casimero
6. Adrian Hernandez
7. Juan Palacios
8. Armando Torres
9. Ryo Miyazaki
10. Mario Rodriguez
11. Juan Hernandez
12. Pedro Guevara
13. Alberto Rossel
14. Masayuki Kuroda
15. Ramon Garcia Hirales

- Same people in top 5, just in a slightly different order.
- Removed Jaro, Mayol, Jeles, Reveco as all have moved up in weight.
- Inc. Hernandez, Rodriguez, Guevara, Rossel, Kuroda, Torres and Palacios to the rankings.

Minimumweight
1. Nkosinathi Joyi
2. Kazuto Ioka
3. Denver Cuello
4. Moises Fuentes
5. Raul Garcia
6. Akira Yaegashi
7. Wanheng Menayothin
8. Ivan Calderon
9. Katsunari Takayama
10. Pornsawan Porpramook
11. Paipharob Kokietgym
12. Muhammad Rachman
13. Hekkie Budler
14. Kwanthai Sithmorseng
15. Jesus Silvestre

- Moved Cuello to 3rd. Arguably hasn't lost for 6 years and has dominant wins over Rachman, Soto
- Inc. Wanheng, Condes, Budler, Kwanthai, Silvestre and Rachman.
- Removed Barrera (hasn't fought at the weight for over 3 years :lol:), Palacios, Landero and Condes.

Like I say, feel free to use at your discretion :good

I have dropped him down to 4 with Povetkin ahead. It says more about the lack of quality in the division than anything else.
