Dawson is not LHW champ for 2 reasons. Lost his last fight and hasn't defended his title within a year.

Rios & Alverado ahead of Peterson as I don't count Petersons win over Khan.

Alvarez was No.4 when he faced Trout so not the champ.

You asked for my help with the lower weights, so I've just done some notes for any divisions from featherweight downwards where I feel changes need to be made:

Featherweight (125lbs)
World Champion: Miguel Angel Garcia (WBO)
California, USA
Beat Orlando Salido January 2013

2. Chris John (WBA)
3. Abner Mares (WBC)
4. Orlando Salido
5. Daniel Ponce De Leon
6. Jhonny Gonzalez
7. Juan Manuel Lopez
8. Ellio Rojas
9. Cristobal Cruz
10. Jonathan Victor Barros
11. Hozumi Hasegawa
12. Javier Fortuna
13. Daud Yordan
14. Evgeny Gradovich (IBF)
15. Alexander Miskirtchian

- Rojas (#8) hasn't fought in over a year.
- Cruz (#9) hasn't won a fight in nearly 4 years.
- Hasegawa (#11) is now campaigning at super bantamweight.
- Yordan (#13) was battered on home turf by Simpiwe Vetyeka last time out.
- I think a strong case could be made for Lee Selby being over Miskirtchian (#15).

----

Bantamweight (118lbs)
World Championship: (Vacant)
1. Anselmo Moreno (WBA)
2. Shinsuke Yamanaka (WBC)
3. Joseph Agbeko

4. Vusi Malinga
5. Paulus Ambunda (WBO)
6. Hugo Ruiz
7. Koki Komeda
8. Pungluang Sor Singyu
9. Jamie McDonnell (IBF)
10. AJ Banal
11. Rolly Matsushita
12. Jesus Galicia
13. Stephan Jamoye
14. Julio Ceja
15. Ryosuke Iwasa

- Malinga (#4) is way too high. Case for him not being ranked.
- I think Ambunda (#5) could be dropped a couple of places.
- Tunacao perhaps deserves a ranking for his showing against Yamanaka (#2).
- Galicia (#12) needs to be dropped.
- Iwasa (#15) could swap places with Banal (#10).
- Suriyan Sor Rungvisai needs to be added.

----

Super Flyweight (115lbs)
World Championship: (Vacant)
1. Omar Navarez (WBO)
2. Suriyan Sor Rungvisai (WBC)
3. Juan Carlos Sanchez Jr (IBF)

4. Liborio Solis (WBA)
5. Cesar Seda
6. Yota Sato
7. Kohei Kono
8. Raul Martinez
9. Tomás Rojas
10. Tepparith Kokietgym
11. Tomonobu Shimizu
12. Johnny Garcia
13. Rodrigo Guerrero
14. Juan Alberto Rosas
15. Nobou Nashiro

- You have put Suriyan in at #2 by mistake. It should be Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
- Seda (#5) has moved up.
- I think Sato (#6) should be above Solis (#4).
- Martinez (#8) needs to be dropped.
- Rojas (#9) is now campaigning at bantamweight.
- Shimizu (#11) has retired.
- Rosas (#14) could be dropped.
- Carlos Cuadras, Oleydong Sithsamerchai, Daniel Rosas, Arthur Villanueva, Felipe Orucuta and Hiroyuki Hisataka all in contention for places.

Flyweight (112lbs)
World Champion: Akira Yaegashi (WBC)
Yokohoma, Kanagawa, Japan
Beat Toshiyuki Igarashi April 2013

2. Juan Francisco Estrada (WBO & IBF)
3. Brian Viloria
4. Hernan Marquez
5. Moruti Mthalane (IBF)
6. Toshiyuki Igarashi
7. Nestor Danuel Navares
8. Milan Melindo
9. Rodel Mayol
10. Rocky Fuentes
11. Edgar Sosa
12. Giovani Segura
13. Ricardo Nunez
14. Juan Carlos Reveco
15. Wilbert Uicab

- I think Mthalane (#5) should be above Marquez (#4).
- Narvaes (#7) is too high. Should be dropped, IMO.
- Mayol (#9) last fought at super flyweight.
- Soasa (#11), Reveco (#14) and Uicab (#15) could be pushed up.
- Luis Concepcion and Kompayak Porpramook should be ranked.

----

Light Flyweight (108lbs)
World Championship: (Vacant)
1. Roman Gonzalez (WBA)
2. Donnie Nietes (WBO)
3. Adrian Hernandez (WBC)

4. John Riel Casimero (IBF)
5. Kazuota Ioka
6. Juan Palacios
7. Armando Torres
8. Juan Hernandez
9. Moises Fuentes
10. Kompayak Porpramook
11. Pedro Guevara
12. Alberto Rossel
13. Masayuki Kuroda
14. Raul Garcia
15. Sammy Gutierrez

- Palacios (#6) is too high and hasn't fought in almost a year.
- Torres (#7) needs to be dropped down.
- I'd move Fuentes (#9) to about #6 position.
- Kompayak (#10) has moved up.
- Kuroda (#13) last fought at flyweight.
- Gutierrez (#15) needs to be dropped.
- Ryoichi Taguchi, Odilon Zaleta, Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep, Paipharob Kokietgym, Ramon Garcia Hirales and Naoya Inoue all need to be considered.

whats your issue with the TBRB ones?
I think they got a great team of people together to form the rankings committee, but its seems pretty clear its not very often the rankings get discussed by the whole group, and actually its just 1/2 guys doing it. The biggest issue of course is that some of there rankings are just shit. Theres something alarmingly wrong in each division but there also seems to be a refusal to admit when they have got something clearly wrong.
