Despite being new to the weight, former 4x world champion Julio Csar La Cruz (CUB) also warrants inclusion at #8, having beaten #9 Abduljabbar back in early 2020. A hand injury suffered in 1931 forced a six-month layoff, and when Carroll was knocked out by Fred Henneberry upon his return many thought his career as a top boxer was finished. He moved up through the divisions, winning belts, including jumping from lightweight to junior middleweight in 1995 to become the IBO champion.

Last but not least, Wahid Hambli (FRA) also moves up a couple of spots to #14 after picking up some good wins in his successful Cologne World Cup run a few weeks ago. Young Griffo, Vic Patrick, Ron Richards and Hector Thompson were all seriously considered for the shortlist. Meanwhile, Frazer Clarke (GBR) stays in contention at #6 after grinding out wins against #14 Aliev and Berat Acar (TUR) back in February.
