Comments: All at Prime except W Lewis, who hits his retirement year in 1915. Britton slipped behind McFarland in pp points, by virtue of his loss by DQ to Nelson, and it should also cost him some spots in the year-end pound-for-pound list as well. McFarland won all four bouts in 1914, three NABF title defenses and a MD 10 over Ted Kid Lewis. Nelson shot up the rankings with a UD10 over Hurley and then the one win over Britton. Whitney was 3-1 for the year, winning his USBA title bouts with ease but faltering when he took on McFarland. Ted Kid Lewis had a 5-bout win streak going until his loss to McFarland. Willie Lewis, despite the draw with Britton, faded in the rankings and his days as a top contender are likely done. Dixie Kid went 3-1 for the year with a MD over Schaeffer and a UD over Graves, but lost to Holberg on a foul. Summers moved up by retaining the EBU belt but lost to Kid Lewis. Wells shot up the ranks with wins over Glover, Mellody and Jimmy Gardner. He was held to a draw by Shevlin. Hurley won two SDs versus Gardner and Glover but was KO'd by Nelson. Holberg suffered a TKO loss to Schaeffer to go with his DQ win over Dixie Kid.

Other Notables: Eddie Shevlin dropped one spot to #11, losing to Whitney and only managing a draw with Wells after starting off with wins over Howell and Badoud. Schaeffer checks in at #12 with a 18-5-1 (14) mark, dropping the decision to Whitney after three wins over Glover, Joseph and Holberg. Jimmy Gardner took a big tumble from #3 to #13, suffering a TKO loss to Wells and defeats against Glover and Hurley. Albert Badoud went 2-2 for the year and stands at #14 with a 17-5 (13) career mark. Glover dropped 10 spots to #15, having lost his last three to Wells, Schaeffer and Hurley. Mike Sullivan took a huge dive from #8 down to #21, going 0-3 in 1914; he has now lost 6 in a row. New to the rankings was Art Magirl, whose 14-2 (12) mark was only good for #24 after a TKO loss to Bartley Connolly, although he did impress with a TKO over Blink McCloskey. Marty Cross debuts at #32 with a 10-5-1 (4) record, going 2-3 in 1914, and Irishman Tom McCormick faltered badly after a 12-0 start with losses to Cross, Deshley and Badoud to wind up the year at 13-4 (7) in #34 spot with only 160 pp (less than the 200 he started out with!).

Prospects: Soldier Bartfield is 12-2 (6) after splitting a pair with fellow prospect Frank Barrieau, whose record is now 11-3 (5). Tommy Uren piled up four more wins over TCs to reach 10-1 (6). Also continuing to pile up the Ws is Phinney Boyle, at 9-0 (2). Aussie Fred Kay had a good start, going 6-0 (1). Willie Loughlin is 4-0, all four by KO. Tommy Robson struggled at the start and is now 4-1 (3).

Retirement: A three-time former Champion hung up the gloves after an impressive 20-year career.

Young Peter Jackson (USA) 1895-1914 49-16-3 (33) WBA Champ

Looking Ahead: Britton is back on top, and a rematch with McFarland seems to be inevitable. Dick Nelson and Kid Lewis are both in position to try to lift Jimmy Summers' EBU belt. Willie Lewis' star is fading, but Dixie Kid is still a factor. Shevlin and Schaeffer need to prove themselves to crack the top echelon; Badoud is also a threat to move up. Can Glover and Gardner rekindle their careers? This division lacks the depth of others, and there is a paucity of new talent on the horizon. Only one new WW (Alex Trambitas) is set to join the ranks in 1915.
