World Ratings FEBRUARY 2012

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.

where Boxing Monthly also concentrates on a TOP 10 (or less than ten where fewer fighters justify a rating) for each of the main UK divisions, giving fighters a real incentive - to break into the top 10 best.
