    What are the most respected rankings?

    You have the sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO). But they won't rank champions of other sanctioning bodies. So they probably aren't reliable.

    Then you have The Ring rankings, Transnational Boxing rankings and Boxrec rankings.

    But out of those 3 I am not sure which is the most respected.

    1. The TBRB
    2. The Ring

    That's it. Everybody else is a joke as far as rankings.

      TBRB. Ring and ESPN are a distant second and third.

            I don't always agree with the TBRB but they have enough expertise and viewpoints that they're more reliable than anyone else.

                TBRB the only rankings I trust.

                Ring is a distant 2nd.

                I like boxrec more for prospect rankings than top 10 rankings, but I'd still put them 3rd.

                The 4 belt groups got the worst, most unrealistic rankings but of course those are the ones that matter most.

                  boxrec is just based on points and the formula that they use to make their rankings results in funny rankings. Just checking their top 10 HW ranking right now:

                  1) Usyk
                  2) Joshua
                  3) Fury
                  4) Wilder
                  5) Dubois
                  6) Wallin
                  7) Zhang
                  8) Joyce
                  9) Whyte
                  10) Gassiev
