Pictured: Tomoki Kameda, who returned to the ring with a win on October 15 and re-entered TTR's rankings yesterday


TTR's Posters' Pound-For-Pound and divisional rankings based on fight results through Thursday, October 27, 2016 were compiled and posted on Friday, October 28. There are changes in the Pound-For-Pound Top 20 and in the rankings for eight of the seventeen divisions.

Among the changes include TTR now viewing the heavyweight title as vacant, the removal from the rankings of Lamont Peterson and Brian Viloria because of their prolonged inactivity, and now former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, currently serving a suspension by the British Boxing Board of Control, being, as a result, removed from the Pound-For-Pound rankings.

At the time this article was posted, the rankings to the right had not been updated. They should be shortly. In the meanwhile, you can peruse our new rankings right here:
