Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
Of the 10 "champions" listed above, only two are recognized by TTR and the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board (Beterbiev and Kambosos, Jr.) and only two are recognized by The Ring (Kambosos, Jr. and Inoue).
Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
For sure, good points, but it's hard to pick 5 to stay and 5 to go when there are only 8 TBRB champs lol.

Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
Halfway through the year and I'm looking good:
Stay
Beterbiev (175) = Unified vs Smith Jr
Stevenson (130) = Unified vs Valdez, Conceicao up next
Navarette (126) = no fight scheduled yet
Inoue (118) = Unified vs Donaire
Nakatani (112) = Won vs Yamauchi
Go
Smith Jr (175) = Lost to Beterbiev
Murata (160) = Lost to GGG
Ugas (147) = Lost to Spence Jr
Kambosos Jr (135) = Lost to Haney
Gutierrez (130) = Supposed to fight Hector Garcia next

Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
I'll make my pick for the last half of the year
STAY
Crawford (KO's Spence)
Usyk (beats AJ)
Stevenson (beats Conceicao)
Tank (KO's Ryan Garcia)
Josh Taylor (beats Catterall in rematch)
GO
Spence (loss to Crawford)
GGG (loss to Canelo)
Fulton (loss to Akhmadaliev)
Bivol (loss to Zurdo or Beterviev)
Jake Paul (loss to Fury)
Some of these fights I have are just projected. I also hear Tommy Fury is about to duck Jake Paul where he is even to make 2 mil, which is insane to me. I just added Paul on the list because he's the social media champion since Ryan Garcia after relinquishing that title due to his one of his "mental illnesses" last year.

Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
I ended up all correct, but Nakatani did choose to move up in weight.

Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
Both Stevenson and Nakatani ended the year as former champions. Stevenson failed to make weight for his last defense at 130 and was stripped of his titles. He, like Nakatani, who voluntarily relinquished his title, is moving up in weight.
Re: 5 champions to stay and 5 to go in 2022
Ooooh, I forgot about Stevenson failing to make weight. Good point.
