Katie Taylor retired from boxing with yet another impressive display of speed and technique, becoming an undisputed champion for the third time in her career.

Taylor, arguably the greatest women's boxer in history, defeated Flora Pili in front of more than 80,000 fans at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday, winning by scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 98-92. Taylor entered the fight as the WBA, WBO and IBF junior welterweight champion and added the vacant WBC belt to finish her career with a record of 26-1, 6 KOs.

Taylor is a two-division undisputed champion, having held all four major titles at lightweight and twice at junior welterweight. She also won an Olympic gold medal representing Ireland at the 2012 London Games, the first Olympics to feature women's boxing.

Taylor will retain the No. 1 spot in the 140-pound division for one more week, a deserving final testament to one of the greatest careers in women's boxing history.

Rankings are updated every Tuesday. They're based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven't fought in 18 months and don't have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
