Composite ladder
Average rank across the sanctioning bodies that rank the boxer. The “Bodies” column shows how many opinions it rests on.
The boxer's average rank across the bodies that rank them: a world title counts as 0, an interim title or No. 1 as 1, and so on. The lower the number, the better the ranking. Example: No. 2 with the WBC and No. 4 with the IBF give 3.0.How many sanctioning bodies rank the boxer, out of those that rank this division (3/5: three out of five). The more there are, the sturdier the average; when it rests on a single one, it is greyed out.The gap between the boxer's best and worst rank. 0: every body agrees. In red from 6: they clearly disagree (No. 1 with one, No. 9 with another).
