The long reign of Ivan Calderon atop of the junior flyweight, or light flyweight, division rankings is over. Welcome to the crown, Giovani Segura, and get ready to face some more excellent contenders in this strong, deep weight division.

Junior flyweight division rankings last updated April 2011.

1. Giovani Segura – The WBA champion avenged the first loss of his career at the hands of Cesar Canchila, and now has been rolling, twice knocking out Ivan Calderon to claim the top spot in this ranking. Amongst his other notable wins is a decision over Carlos Tamara.
2. Roman Gonzalez - The former minimum-weight champion, Gonazlez is undefeated as a pro and has three wins since moving up to junior flyweight, including wins over Manuel Vargas and Francisco Rosas. With 23 knockouts, he has very nice pop.
3. Luis Alberto Lazarte - Lazarte took the IBF strap from Carlos Tamara in 2010, and has already defended it twice, although the last was a draw against former champion Ulises Solis. They are scheduled to meet again at the end of April.
4. Ulises Solis – Solis successfully defended his IBF junior flyweight strap 9 times before facing a more focused Viloria and getting stopped in the 11th round. He is 4-0-1 since, and has a rematch upcoming against Luis Alberto Lazarte after they fought to a draw this past December.
5. Gilberto Keb Baas - Twenty losses or not, Gilberto Keb Baas just dethroned one of the division's best in Omar Nino Romero, knocking him down twice en route to a Majority Decision win.
6. Omar Nino Romero – Romero holds a win against Viloria and fought him to a draw in their second fight only to see the decision changed to a no contest due to a failed post fight drug test. Years ago he also beat a young Edgar Sosa. After beating Rodel Mayol in their second bout, he was unceremoniously ousted by Keb Baas.
7. Rodel Mayol - The record isn't pretty, going 4-4-2 in his last 10 fights, but he has fought the best and was pushing Calderon in both of their encounters before each bout had to be stopped after headbutts led to cuts on Calderon's head. He also managed to squeeze in a win over longtime WBC champion Edgar Sosa, and put up a good battle against Omar Nino Romero before losing.
8. Ivan Calderon – The two-division champion's long reign at the top of the sport is officially over. It will be interesting to see whether or not he tries to make another run at a title, or if he decides that he has accomplished enough in his career and hangs them up. Still plenty of skill and technical ability, but without the size, power and youthful exuberance of some of his competitors.
9. Juan Carlos Reveco - He's 9-0 since losing to Brahim Asloum in 2007. He's now the interim WBA titleholder which means he's looking at a future date against Giovani Segura. However, he's also been jumping up and down in weight, so it will be interesting to see what and where his next fight is.
10. Adrian Hernandez - Hernandez has put together 7 wins in a row since his lone career set back in 2008. It's enough to have earned him a title shot against WBC champ Gilberto Keb Baas at the end of April.
