Boxing divisional rankings: Was Jake Paul's win enough to enter the cruiserweight top 10?

A relatively busy week in boxing provided little movement in the divisional rankings.

The most notable splash came from Floyd "Kid Austin" Schofield, who needed only 78 seconds to stop former world champion Tevin Farmer. Schofield blitzed Farmer, who hadn't been stopped in a fight since 2012 against Jose Pedraza, and knocked him down three times before earning the biggest win of his career. Schofield enters the lightweight rankings at No. 9 while Farmer drops out entirely.

Jake Paul may earn a ranking from the WBA and the WBC after his decision win over a listless Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but the victory wasn't quite good enough to get him into the top 10 at cruiserweight.

Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez holds his No. 2 cruiserweight spot after pulling away in the second half of the fight against Yuniel Dorticos, retaining his unified championship status. On the same card, Raul Curiel scored a fourth-round stoppage of Victor Ezequiel Rodriguez in a WBA welterweight title eliminator to hold his No. 10 spot in the 147-pound rankings.

The heavyweight division welcomed back Deontay Wilder, who stopped journeyman Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round to get his first win since 2022. However, it wasn't enough for Wilder to re-enter the top 10.

Christian Mbili wiped out Maciej Sulecki in one round to tighten his grip on the No. 2 spot at super middleweight.

ESPN's divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. Rankings will change based on recent results and performances. Fighters who have announced they are moving to a different weight class will be ranked in that new division, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both.

Fighters who haven't competed in the past 12 months -- and don't have a fight scheduled -- will be dropped from the rankings until they fight again. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to reenter the rankings after his next bout.
