    I believe there are others with better technique and also i believe he may be
    slipping. He looked very ordinary against Brook. His technique flaws were evident.
    I also believe his level of competition has been questionable. Canelo has shown
    improvement lately while Golovkin has not.
    Errol Spence included because my instinct tells ES will perform at a higher level
    as his techniques and mental state project he will.

    Dont think I agree with Spence rating higher

    I know Teddy doesnt like Golovkin but I dont really agree on that ranking

    Thurman seems high too

    He should ask Teddy to train him, then he can jump straight to number 1 overnight.

    Teddy's like the Trump of boxing without the influence or power - everything he does is apparently great whilst everything else is garbage despite evidence to the contrary.

    How Donny Lalonde hasn't found him and knocked him out for saying he planned to kill him is beyond me. Some things can't be let slide and that BS artist needs exposing.

    Atlas knows boxing. List is a bit surprising. I don't have Thurman on my top ten list and pretty sure GGG is better than him any way you look at it.

    Teddy also said i don't have any bias against Golovkin. I love to watch him fight and i believe
    his style is simple. The list is not about how good you were 8 months ago . Your recent
    performances influence placement. Golovkin has been on my Top 10 list before. People get
    better others regress. I would pick Golovkin to beat Canelo right now he may too big and
    strong right now.

    I love Spence Jr. but he doesn't belong on any top 10 P4P list.

    I don't have a big problem with Atlas saying that, I'd probably put Golovkin around 8th-9th, personally.
    Thurman has no business on the list.

    But you hold ESPN to be one of the authoritative sources...it's you against the several boxing analysts.

    Nice try but too bad for you Atlas wasn't the only guy voting on that panel who rated PBF as the greatest fighter of the last 25 years.:deal: This list was just his and his only.

    Agree with you Pimp. Great on the eye test, short on the resume. That's not top ten material. Not yet....

    But..but Atlas works for ESPN. He's more than just a simple boxing analyst and he's surely then even more of an authoritative source.

    Here is the list breakdown:
    1V. LomachenkoA. WardR. GonzalezR. GonzalezR. GonzalezR. GonzalezR. GonzalezR. GonzalezR. GonzalezR. Gonzalez2T. CrawfordR. GonzalezG. GolovkinG. GolovkinC. AlvarezG. GolovkinG. GolovkinG.

Spence Jr.L. Santa CruzG. RigondeauxL. Santa CruzG. RigondeauxG. RigondeauxC. FramptonL. Santa CruzM. GarciaL. Santa Cruz

    There are some awful names on there. WILDER. VALDEZ. HELL, EVEN SANTA CRUZ and FRAMPTON!
    Not one list has ESTRADA there. Lame af.
    But apparently they are one of the most authoritative.

    ESPN is in the business of making money they don't know much about anything below 126 because there is no money below 126. They give even more preference to guys 147 and higher.

    Gonzalez is their token little guy. Just go make it look like they care about looking respectable.

    ESPN is a trash network. They're disgusting.

    Teddy Atlas was born in a very wealthy family. His dad was doctor. And he turned out be an ignorant trash POS. He had every opportunity in the world and pissed it all away.

    That's the type of guy ESPN employs for boxing analysis.

    How is Thurman #4. Did that really happen.

    Also somebody needs to tell Atlas that cutting off the ring is extremely hard to do. Nobody with bad skill can cut the ring like Golovkin.
