Beltway Boxers in World and National Rankings!

At least once a year, BATB takes a look at how the major governing bodies and their affiliates rank our boxers.  Whether you buy into the rankings fully or not, this does give some idea of where the boxers of the area might be heading in 2014.  We have the rankings from the big four (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO) as well as three of the four regional rankings (USBA, NABO and NABF).
