Rankings in boxing are always disputed and always will be disputed and controversial, that is a fact of professional boxing and sport.
The reason for this is because they come down to human interpretation which is not infallible and susceptible to error and misguidance on occasion.
However, with the great AI revolution sweeping the world in 2025 and 2026 like a tornado storm across the world, opportunity of course will inevitably beckon.
AI is bigger than the internet, bigger than technology, bigger than Apple and Microsoft, Google, Meta, X, Yandex and Baidu combined.
It is bigger than the invention of the smart phone, bigger than the invention of the television, newspapers and the first radio.
Boxing can and is using this to its advantage right now and the rankings system can be no different, why not? Boxrec attempted to computerize their rankings of the top 10/15 fighters in a given weight division, in all professional boxing weight division, relevant to the current world champions in each weight class.
How There Maybe A Better Way To Do Rankings In Boxing
They had limited success, as they would note themselves. But Grok under Elon Musk and his team worldwide leads the way in AI and is quickly becoming the new Google search with tens of millions of downloads daily and is number one basically in everything right now in all apps, the X platform being number one for all news and will be soon for all social media as well.
The powers that be can work with Musk and his team to develop truly bullet proof, formula driven, quality driven, world rankings for each weight this year.
Where fans can see genuinely, more or less, who is the best top 10 fighters in each weight division every month.
Maybe come up with new rankings from AI at the start of each month. One world champion per weight class would be the ideal situation — just like in the UFC.
But certainly the top 10 rankings in each weight can be standardized across all champions and top contenders in professional boxing in each weight class.
Develop the formula on a human level first, get the formula agreed upon be 50 industry experts for balance with no bias possible, across all countries and so on, then let the AI do the work every month.
Maybe on the 1st of every month, 12 times a year, the list is released.
This can be rolled out quickly and immediately.
Boxing is in great time at the moment and we will strike with an iron fist this year as a sport.
