Ring bantamweight champion Inoue (R) defends his lineal belt against Ring No. 3 Casimero on April 25.
WBA welterweight super champion Manny Pacquiao retains his spot in the Ring Magazine's elite all weights pound for pound list even as he tows nine other Pinoy fighters in the boxing publication's latest various divisional rankings.
Pacquiao stays at number ten in the pound for pound list as most members of the Ring ratings panel decided against dropping him in favor of Tyson Fury who recently won the WBC heavyweight title over Deontay Wilder while retaining his Ring lineal championship.
The fighting Senator also retains his third spot in the Ring welterweight rankings behind only Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford and above Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia. Incidentally, rumored Pacquiao's next opponent, Mikey Garcia entered the ranking at number ten following his points win over Jessie Vargas.
There are two Pinoys in the minimumweight rankings namely former WBO titlist Victorio Saludar who is at number 5 and current IBF champion Pedro Taduran who improves to number eight from his former tenth place.
Edward Heno remained rated in the light flyweight at number seven despite his title fight defeat to WBO champion Elwin Soto who remains at number five behind Japanese Hiroto Kyuguchi and Kenshiro Teraji, the WBA/ Ring and WBC titlists.
Giemel Magramo is the lone rated Pinoy at flyweight at number ten behind Junto Nakatani who is rated at sixth. Magramo is set to fight Nakatani for the WBO title already vacated by Kosei Tanaka who is still listed at number one in the division. Moruti Mthalane and Julio Cesar Martinez and Artem Dalakian, the IBF, WBC and WBA champs are the other higher flyweights.
There are also two Filipinos rated in the super flyweight, namely former WBO titlist Donnie Nietes who is rated number 4 and IBF champion Jerwin Ancajas who is listed lower at number 5. Roman Gonzalez improves to number three after becoming champion again, winning the WBA title by knockout over UK's Khalid Yafai.
Meanwhile Nonito Donaire and IBF titlist Johnriel Casimero are listed number one and three behind WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine champion Naoya Inoue and WBC titleholder and #2 Nordine Oubaali, respectively. Casimero fights Inoue in a unification April 25 while Donaire challenges Oubaali May 6.
Mark Magsayo is listed at number six in the featherweights headed by Josh Warrington, Gary Russell and Xu Can.
