The top spot goes to Chantelle Cameron – a former undisputed world champion with 20 wins and one draw and a fighter who stunned the great Katie Taylor in her own backyard.
Cameron, 33, is a terrific boxer with a solid jab, timing and ability to control the distance.
She won her first world title- the WBC light-welterweight strap – in her 13th fight to very little fanfare.
She would become England’s first undisputed champion in the four-belt era, but still very few were talking about the Northampton fighter.
Cameron’s breakout moment, however, came in the most emphatic fashion when she inflicted a first career defeat on Taylor in 2023.
“I had absolutely no hesitation in putting Chantelle at number one,” Rankin says.
“They say ‘to be the man you have to beat the man’- the same applies to the women. Katie is regarded one of the world’s best female fighters, maybe of all time. For Chantelle to beat her was incredibly impressive.”
