1928 Summary - Part 2 of 2

Year-End 1928 Pound for Pound Rankings
(with PP points, changes from last year in parens)

1. Mickey Walker, MW, WBA Champ (1815) (+1)
2. Benny Leonard, WW, WBA Champ (1650) (+3)
3. Tommy Loughran, LH, WBA Champ (1606) (+1)
4. Young Stribling, HW, no title (1524) (+5)
5. Panama Al Brown, BW, WBA Champ (1408) (new)
6. Larry Gains, HW, no title (1408) (+2)
7. Jack Sharkey, HW, WBA Champ (1395) (new)
8. Joe Dundee, WW, NABF Champ (1333) (new)
9. Ad Stone, LH, USBA Champ (1318) (new)
10. Benny Valgar, LW, EBU Champ (1262) (-5)

Dropping out from last year:
Gene Tunney, HW (was #1)
George Godfrey, HW (was #3)
Memphis Pal Moore, BW (was #7)
Harry Wills, HW (was #10)

Most of the turnover in the PFP list was HWs, which is continues to be the only division represented in the top 10 PFP list more than twice, and the LHs and HWs are the only ones there more than once. Senior member of the top 10 PFP list remains to be "the Great Bennah" Leonard, who is making his 12th appearance on the list. Walker is appearing for the sixth successive year, and Loughran is the only other fighter to appear for more than two times. Thus, there has been a bit of a changing of the guard among the top echelon fighters in the Uni.

After a bit of a break, it will be onto 1929 action.
