Pictured: World Middleweight Champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, TTR's #5 ranked fighter Pound-For-Pound


TTR's Posters' Pound-For-Pound and divisional rankings based on fight results through Thursday, January 14, 2016 were compiled and posted on Friday, January 15 and during the early morning hours of Saturday, January 16, 2016.

Only one divisional top ten (122) contained changes but there were other changes in the Pound-For-Pound rankings (at #22) and in the rankings at 130, 126, and 122.

The change in the top ten at 122 involved Kiko Martinez. Martinez has fought four of his last five fights in or above the featherweight division and will be fighting his next bout as a featherweight. His removal from the rankings at 122, where he was ranked #9, was overdue. He is now ranked #16 at 126.

At the time, this article was posted, the rankings to the right had not been updated. They should be shortly. In the meantime, what follows are the new rankings in their entirety:
