World Ratings FEBRUARY 2010

Each month we bring you the latest world ratings as compiled for the magazine at press-time, listing the latest Top-10 in each of the 17 weight divisions.

Boxers are American unless stated. Fighters won-lost-draw records appear alongside their names. No Contests appear as a fourth figure. An asterisk* denotes southpaw.
See the magazine for a further two-page chart of the LATEST TOP-20 BRITISH RATINGS

where Boxing Monthly also concentrates on a TOP 20 for each of the main UK divisions, giving fighters a real incentive - to break into the top 20 best. The only exceptions are the fly, bantam and s/bantam divisions where we show a British top 15 at present.
