Since everyone of consequence is done fighting for the year, I'm not even waiting for the end of the month to do the final set of power rankings for 2009. As soon as I can get input from the other BoxingWatchers, I'll also post our year-end pound-for-pound list as well.
Instead of my usual wanna-be pithy comments for each boxer, I'm simply going to include how they did in their 2009 appearances in a boxing ring. At the end you'll also find the final rankings from 2008 as a frame of reference.
More guidance on the philosophy behind these power rankings can be found here. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy.
