Terence Crawford sits alone at the top of Uncrowned’s latest pound-for-pound rankings, while Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has fallen completely out of the top ten. The updated November 2025 list, compiled by a panel including Kel Dansby, Alan Dawson, Darshan Desai, Lewis Watson and Elliot Worsell, reflects a changing era in the sport, with Crawford’s historic run and a new wave of multi-division champions pushing Canelo into the “others receiving votes” category.
Crawford retains the No. 1 spot as undisputed super middleweight champion and a five-division titleholder, having become the first male fighter of the four-belt era to win undisputed crowns in three weight classes. He’s followed by Oleksandr Usyk at No. 2, a two-division undisputed champion who has cleaned out cruiserweight and twice defeated both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury at heavyweight. Naoya Inoue, Dmitry Bivol and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez round out the top five, each boasting multi-division success and recent signature wins to cement their places.
Just behind them, David Benavidez and Junto Nakatani share the No. 6 spot. Benavidez has built a resume stacked with names like Caleb Plant, Demetrius Andrade, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, David Morrell and Anthony Yarde, and now prepares to move up again to challenge Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez at cruiserweight. Nakatani, an undefeated three-division champion, is still breaking through to wider audiences but is positioned for a potential superfight with Inoue in 2026. Former undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev and WBC lightweight titleholder Shakur Stevenson share eighth place.
Devin Haney makes his debut at No. 10 following his win over Brian Norman Jr. to become WBO welterweight champion and a three-division king. Once criticized for his cautious showing against Jose Ramirez and still carrying the baggage of the overturned Ryan Garcia result, Haney flipped the narrative by jumping straight to the top man at 147 and winning clearly. With Rolando “Rolly” Romero, Mario Barrios and Lewis Crocker holding the other welterweight belts, the list notes that Haney now has a clear path to a dominant run at the weight.
On the women’s side, Katie Taylor keeps her grip on the No. 1 pound-for-pound spot after a decisive third win over Amanda Serrano, followed by Claressa Shields and undisputed flyweight champion Gabriela Fundora. Alycia Baumgardner, Ellie Scotney, Mikaela Mayer, Lauren Price and Dina Thorslund all retain or strengthen their top-ten positions.
