2026 Super Lightweight Boxing Rankings – Top 10 Fighters

Current World Super Lightweight Rankings

Welcome to the official Split Decision Super Lightweight Boxing Rankings for 2026, updated regularly with the latest results, movement and shifts across the 140-pound division.

The super lightweight division, also known as junior welterweight, sits between lightweight (135 lbs) and welterweight (147 lbs). Known for its mix of speed, power and technical skill, the 140-lb class has historically produced some of boxing’s most exciting champions.

These rankings are compiled by one of Split Decision’s analysts using a consistent three-part evaluation model. While we reference recognised standards such as The Ring ratings, our rankings focus on recent form, meaningful opposition and momentum rather than promotional hype or title belts alone.
