And, last but not least, the pound-for-pound rankings for year-end 1926:

1. Benny Leonard, LW (WBA Champ), 1849 (NC)
2. Gene Tunney, HW (USBA Champ), 1781 (+1)
3. Harry Wills, HW (NABF Champ), 1722 (+1)
4. Mickey Walker, MW (WBA Champ), 1656 (+3)
5. Bryan Downey, MW (NABF Champ), 1511 (+3)
6. George Godfrey, HW, 1486 (+3)
7. Bermondsey Billy Wells, WW (CBU, EBU Champ), 1467 (New)
8. Jack Dempsey, HW, 1418 (-6)
9. Tommy Loughran, LH (WBA Champ), 1358 (New)
10. Bartley Madden, HW (CBU, EBU Champ), 1316 (New)

Dropped Out of Top Ten:
LH Harry Greb (was #5); WW Ted Kid Lewis (was #6); BW Joe Lynch (was #10).

Comments: "The Bennah" (Benny Leonard) tops the PFP list for the fourth consecutive year, his 1849 PP total is an all-time high in Universe history. (He also topped the 1919 list, making this his fifth time as leading PFP fighter in My Uni.) One more year atop the list and he equals the record of Abe Attell, who topped the PFP list for five consecutive years from 1908 through 1912. Tunney leads five HWs who make the list, although the new WBA Champ (Martin Burke) is not one of them.

Leonard and Wills make the list for the 10th time, while Dempsey is listed for the 9th time. Bartley Madden returns to the list after a four-year absence, having first been included in the PFP top ten in 1919. Wills, Downey, Dempsey and Madden will be at Post-Prime in 1927, perhaps meaning several spots will be open for some newcomers to the pound-for-pound list at year-end 1927.
