*If a fighter has been inactive for over a year, he will be removed from the rankings, unless he has a fight officially scheduled. Once removed due to inactivity, a fighter cannot be reinstated until he has fought again.
*Each fighter is ranked on the results they have achieved in their own specific weight division (excluding the pound-for-pound list).
*Each fighter is ranked in the weight division in which their most recent significant fight took place. With regards to catchweight fights, common sense will (hopefully) prevail.
Former world title challenger Ilunga Makabu stays at No 9 with a knockout win over unranked Chamunorwa Gonorenda in South Africa, his first fight since being stopped in three rounds by Tony Bellew for the vacant WBC title in May of last year.
Canelo Alvarez storms in at No 2 after dominating Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr in a catchweight fight.
