Teofimo Lopez Surges to Welterweight Top 5 | Boxing News

Teofimo Lopez just skyrocketed to 5 in The Ring’s welterweight rankings after stunning Rolando “Rolly” Romero to claim the WBA belt — a massive leap from his previous 3 junior welterweight spot. The welterweight division is now packed with elite talent, including Devin Haney at 1, Brian Norman Jr., Jack Catterall, and Eimantas Stanionis, while Ryan Garcia sits at 6. Romero, now ranked 10, re-entered the top ten after his win, pushing Hitchins and Paro out. In junior welterweight, Arthur Biyarslanov also jumped to 10, and George Liddard made his debut at 10 in middleweight. Meanwhile, flyweight saw a shake-up with Felix Alvarado’s retirement opening the door for Sho Nogami at 10 — proving boxing’s rankings are always in motion.
