Comments: The Saudis have definitely made this division more electrifying and dynamic than it has been in a long time. It turns out that you can convince fighters to fight more often if you simply pay them exorbitant amounts of money and have no reason to worry whether that money won’t be recouped based on gateway and pay-per-view confirmations.

Upcoming Fights: (8) Jared Anderson vs. Ryad Merhy, April. 13 … (1) Oleksandra Usyk vs. (2) Tyson Fury, May 18 … (7) Frank Sanchez vs. (10) Agit Kabayel, May 18 … (6) Zhilei Zhang vs. (9) Deontay Wilder, 1st of June

Comments: Time for spring cleaning, refreshing the top 10 cruiserweights. First of all, Lawrence Okolie is officially moving up to heavyweight, except he’ll call it a bridgeweight and fight for a counterfeit title in a division that doesn’t actually exist. Badou Jack has already given up the WBC belt and seems to be focused on fighting in the bridge weight. So we’re taking these guys out.

Arsen Goulamirian remains in the No. 1 spot, but we have four fresh entries in the top 10 as we felt it was a good time to reassess where the division currently stands. None of them are particularly electrifying or require a ton of discussion or anything.

Zurdo Ramirez now has a world title and I know he doesn’t have that sexy physique that all die-hard fight fans crave, but that’s if he can withstand what’s coming back from bigger guys than he’s used to fighting. at 168 and 175 he will do well in this division because he is a better boxer with deeper skills than most fighters at this weight.

Upcoming Fights: (1) Jai Opetaia vs. Mairis Briedis, May 18… (2) Chris Billam-Smith vs. (3) Richard Riakporhe, TBA

Comments: Shane Mosley Jr is out as Erislandy Lara is dynamic again. He’ll be 41 soon, but the only guy I would have complete confidence in beating him is Janibek, because Janibek is a good boxer in great shape. Lara’s recent resume – as it has been for the last five years – is actually a bit ridiculous, considering his last five fights have been against horribly overrated fighters who could never dream of beating him, but what has anyone else actually done?

Comments: A few years ago, 154 had a similar period where the top fighters were constantly fighting each other, and then there was confusion as they tried to rank the fighters, but in a good way, which ultimately led to Jermell Charlo becoming the undisputed champion.

Right now, although it still seems weird, Fundora is number 1. 1. Tszyu had a terrible break, but he fought like a warrior, so he only loses one spot. Serhii Bohachuk has the best performance I’ve ever seen against Brian Mendoza, who drops to No. 1. 10.

Upcoming Fights: (7) Yoenis Tellez vs. Joseph Jackson, April. 26

Comments: Someone is cleaning here too. Errol Spence apparently won’t fight at 147 pounds again; Bud Crawford probably won’t make it either, but he still officially has three belts and there could be an offer that makes him stay.

Eimantas Stanionis has run out of rope, we’ve given him a lot of time, but there are still no rumors about him, and he hasn’t fought for two years now. It’s not largely his fault, but it is what it is. Rashidi Ellis is also inactive.

So we have three fresh participants: Shakhram Giyasov, Souleymane Cissokho and Lewis Crocker.

This is not an electrifying split right now.

Upcoming Fights: (2) Jaron Ennis vs. (5) Cody Crowley, May 4

Comments: A bit of a shuffle. Pitbull Cruz comes in after taking the WBA belt from Rolly Romero. Ryan Garcia has dropped to 1st 10 in my refreshed look at the division and Sandor Martin is out. Garcia’s inclusion may still bother some people, but what did Gary do to Antuanne Russell that Garcia didn’t actually do? What did Sandor Martin do? Ryan may or may not do something on April 20, so we’ll look at him again in a few weeks. However, if he withdraws from this fight, I will eliminate him. These are counterfeit rankings that have no impact on the boxing world, I can be petty if I want.

Upcoming Fights: (1) Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia, April. 20 … (8) Arnold Barboza Jr vs. TBA, April. 20 … (4) Jack Catterall v. Josh Taylor, April. 27 … (2) Subriel Matias vs. Liam Paro, June 15

Comments: Raymond Muratalla’s win over Xolisani Ndongeni wasn’t his best performance and I beat him to Keyshawn Davis in the last two places. The top ten are waiting for the result of the May match between Navarrete and Berinchyk.

Upcoming Fights: (1) Vasily Lomachenko vs. (9) George Kambosos Jr, May 11… (3) Shakur Stevenson vs. Artem Harutyunan, July 6… (2) Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs. (5) Frank Martin, TBA

Comments: Oscar Valdez performed brilliantly after his victory over Liam Wilson last weekend and remains in the top four, could probably be a place higher and, to be candid, could still be pushed into the top spot.

Upcoming Fights: (5) Robson Conceicao vs. Jose Guardado, April. 13 … (1) Joe Cordina vs. Anthony Cacace, May 18

Upcoming Fights: (9) Ruben Villa vs. Cristian Cruz, April. 13

Upcoming Fights: (1) Naoya Inoue vs. (2) Luis Nery, May 6

Comments: Okay, I’m cheating a bit, because it’s boxing, so I might as well join in.

Juan Francisco Estrada had Just he became inactive and was removed from the top ten because of it, but now it is official that he will face Bam Rodriguez on June 29. Basically, if this fight had been announced a few weeks ago, he would never have been cut. So he was reinstated to position no. 1.

And Bam returns to 115 at number 1. 3. Of course, he hasn’t fought in this division, but not long ago he was the world champion here, and now he was willing to go down and come back in pursuit of the huge dog. Why fart and pretend with Pedro Guevara and Phumelele Cafu instead?

Upcoming Fights: (9) Suzumi Takayama vs. Akio Furutani, April. 25 … (6) Andrew Moloney vs. Pedro Guevara, May 11 … (1) Juan Francisco Estrada vs. (3) Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, June 29

Comments: Well, Melvin Jerusalem’s win over Yudai Shigeoka wasn’t widely expected, let’s put it that way. Just when it seemed that the boys from Shigeoka at the age of 105 would take over the team for a while, Yudai lost to Jerusalem after a close card at home in Japan.

Of course, this means that Jerusalem is at the top and Yudai is at the bottom. Ginjiro fought overdue opponent Jake Amparo and won easily, but overall I think you have to give the top spot to Oscar Collazo now, which is what I did. Jerusalem beat the guy who was No. 1 last week, but Collazo convincingly beat Jerusalem last year as well. That says a lot.

Comments: Seniesa Estrada achieved a high position. Her victory over Yokasta Valle was justified, she is now undisputed at 105. Valle is not dropping anything from No. 1. 7, she should not be punished for taking the best fight in the world AND competing the whole time, she didn’t get kicked out of the ring or anything.
