The Sweet Science Rankings: Week of May 1st, 2023

Only one change this week and it takes place at 105lbs where Erick Rosa enters his seventeenth month of inactivity and is removed from the number six slot.  You can’t be one of the best at something if you aren’t doing it, and Rosa, although probably treated unfairly in the collapse of his fight with Thammanoon Niyomtrong (aka Knockout CP Freshmart) there really is no way to continue to rank a fighter who hasn’t boxed for seventeen months among the best in the world.  Everyone below him moves up a spot and it’s a return to the top ten for Rene Mark Cuarto of The Philippines.

*Please note that when the fighter’s name appears with an asterisk it represents a movement in ranking from the previous week.
