P4P UPDATES FOR: SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER
- 09/03: Number one pound for pound fighter Naoya Inoue defended his gold at 122 pounds with a stoppage win over TJ Doheny.
- 10/12: With his win over Dmitry Bivol, Artur Beterbiev debuts on the pound-for-pound list, taking the fifth place of the aforementioned Bivol. That shuffle moves Bivol down to six, Errol Spence from sixth to seventh, Jesse Rodriguez from seventh to eighth, Teofimo Lopez from eighth to ninth, and Devin Haney from ninth to tenth. The move drops Jermell Charlo out of the rankings.
HOW THE RANKINGS ARE COMPILED
1. Pound-for-pound rankings and Top Five rankings are based on the last five years of a fighter's career. For P4P rankings, championships, results, etc. will only reflect that time period.
2. Activity and high-level opposition in significant fights will be considered above almost all other factors.
3. Wins over fellow P4P fighters/Top Five fighters will also be weighed considerably.
