Welcome to the official Split Decision Super Middleweight Boxing Rankings for 2025 – updated monthly with the latest results, movement, and shifts in form.
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 monthly updates focus on recent form, meaningful opposition, and momentum – not promotional hype or title belts.
Whether you’re tracking unified champions, emerging challengers, or the best in one of boxing’s most talent-rich divisions, this page gives you the trusted rankings you need.

Wins, losses, and draws form the foundation of each fighter’s position. Activity matters — boxers must stay active to remain ranked.
The manner of victory or defeat counts: dominance, ring control, and the quality of the performance are factored in.
We assess recent form and strength of opposition — fighters must beat relevant, ranked opponents to climb the list.
