How Split Decision Rank’s Boxers

Results

Wins, losses, and draws form the foundation of each fighter’s position. Activity matters — boxers must stay active to remain ranked.

Performance

The manner of victory or defeat counts: dominance, ring control, and the quality of the performance are factored in.

Track Record

We assess recent form and strength of opposition — fighters must beat relevant, ranked opponents to climb the list.
