Light Heavyweight Rankings

1. Philadelphia Jack O’Brien (16-0, 7 KO)
2. Gabriel Campillo (11-0, 4 KO)
3. Tomasz Adamek (11-2, 8 KO)
4. Georges Carpentier (10-1, 6 KO)
5. George Gardiner (10-1-1, 6 KO)
6. Silvio Branco (11-1, 6 KO)
7. Adrian Diaconu (9-1-1, 7 KO)
8. Chad Dawson (13-4, 8 KO)
9. Zsolt Erdei (12-4, 7 KO)
10. Battling Levinsky (11-4, 4 KO)

Surprised by the low KO percentages more than anything here. If you're looking for notables Antonio Tarver, Glen Johnson and Jack Dillon, they haven't fought the requisite 10 times yet.

Jack O'Brien has dominated so far, though some argue he hasn't fought anybody yet. The only ranked fighter on O'Brien's docket thus far is Chad Dawson, whom he beat by unanimous decision.

Adamek actually has the most impressive win of the top four, despite being the only one with multiple losses - a third round TKO over #5 George Gardiner.
