Comments: Quite a changing of the guard, as four new contenders emerge to claim spots in the Top 10. All four newcomers are at Pre, and Kelly (whose retirement year was 1912) will join Ketchel at Post while everyone else listed is at Prime. Kelly moved to the title despite not having the highest rating and has won four in a row, six in succession without a loss, with wins overs Mantell, Papke and Locke. Klaus registered a draw with Ketchel and remains highest rated despite no title bout in 1911. Cyclone Johnny bounced back from his title loss to Papke by downing Ketchel (UD 10). Ketchel's age is beginning to show, as he won only once in four outings (with two draws), that being a SD 10 over Billy Kramer. Gibbons lost to Klaus after wins over Carter, Rogers and Brennan propelled him to Top 10 status. McCoy's only loss of the year in five outings was to Joe Thomas, and he scored a big TKO 8 over Willie (KO) Brennan. George (KO) Brown also won 4 of 5, losing to Thomas while beating George Chip, Frank Craig, Buffalo Iron Man Al Rogers, and Frank Fields. McGoorty dropped in the ranks because of a TKO loss to Bob Moha, but he captured the USBA belt so things are looking up. Fleming had an up and down year, barely holding on to a Top 10 spot.

Other Notables: NABF Champ Sailor Burke dropped out of the Top 10 after a loss to Fleming, his record is now 25-8 (17) with 534 pps. EBU Champ Mantell dropped from #5 to #13 after being TKO'd in 8 by Papke, his record is at 19-5-3 (10) with 488 pp. Ireland's Paddy Levin, #6 last year, fell to #12. Billy Kramer, who defeated both Chip brothers (George and Joe) is ranked #14. Bob Moha is #15. George Chip debuts at #19, Al Rogers at #20. CBU Champ Quinton Wade is #24 with a 13-9-5 (1) mark and 156 pps. GBU Champ Rolfe (another TC) has negative pps and a 8-9-2 (1) mark and thus is not rated.

Prospects: Quite a few, but most remain untested. Jeff Smith is 12-0 (9), all versus TCs. Ditto for Jake Ahearn, at 11-0 (8). Albert "Buck" Crouse has been very impressive, with 9 wins in 9 bouts, all by KO, including wins versus three real-life boxers (Tommy Gavigan, Terry Mitchell, and Sailor Ed Petroskey). Aussie Les Darcy has won all seven of his bouts inside the distance. Joe Borrell has impressed, winning 6 bouts all by KO and all in four rounds or less. Willie KO Brennan was doing fine at 11-0 until he lost his last three, to Fleming, Gibbons, and McCoy, all now ranked in the Top 10.

Retirements: None in 1911 -- Frank Craig and Kid Carter are at End career stage and likely to hang up the gloves soon.

Looking Ahead: Look for Kelly to be severely tested in his next title bout, and for Jake Ahearn to eventually challenge for the GBU belt, and for Les Darcy to take over the CBU title from the TCs. It will be real interesting to see who among the four new Top 10 guys will succeed in winning title fights in the upcoming year. Top debutants in 1912 will be Happy Littleton of the USA and Australia's Mick King.
