After tabulating the ballots of the 38 analysts who participated in the voting for the Yahoo! Sports boxing rankings in September, I compared the Yahoo! Sports rankings to those done by The Ring magazine and ESPN.com.
The polls of each are compiled differently, but produce remarkably similar results. Yahoo! Sports? September poll has seven fighters in its top 10 in common with Ring and has two in the same position.
The ESPN poll and the Yahoo! poll are even more similar. The top five men in each poll are the same and ultimately include eight fighters in common, including seven in the same position. Ring and ESPN have seven fighters in common and two positions the same.
