The sport of boxing has always been about rankings, as they have a list of them for each division.

But, what is great about boxing is that they also have a pound-for-pound ranking as well. This pound-for-pound ranking today is brought to you by BoxRec.

BoxRec is a top boxing website that has records, and rankings about boxers from all around the world. They are also one of the leaders in the pound-for-pound ranking system, which reveals who is the best boxer at their level, as middleweights don't fight heavyweights or lightweights.
