Who are the current top 10 pound for pound fighters at the moment?

1. Inoue
2. Usyk
3. Rodriguez
4. Stevenson
5. Bivol
6. Benavidez
7. Ennis
8. Nakatani
9. Collazo
10. Opetaia

 

I have to admit that your rating of Usyk surprised me a bit. I know you are a big admirer of his so I was surprised to see him at number six. I know that, for the last two or three years, he hasn’t been what he was but putting the Verhoeven fight aside for a moment it seems like he still performed at a level to be ahead of some of those guys that you have him behind. So my question is, do you think of the Rico fight as a real measure as to his current abilities? In my mind, he did not take the fight seriously at all and I tend to discount it. How do you look at it?

 

Sad, sad, sad state of affairs. I know people get caught up during periods of limbo in regard to top fighters, but this is seriously awful. Inoue #1...otherwise IDK...

 

Ennis at #7 makes this list a joke. Seriously

 

Not bad. I think Vergil or Fundora should be in the mix. Shakur is a bit high for my liking, as is Alvarez. Benavidez maybe a touch high too...

Inoue
Bam
Bivol
Shakur
Nakatani
Vergil Ortiz
Benavidez
Usyk
Fundora
Canelo

I think Usyk is done. And thats no shade...he's like 40 years old. It happens.

 

Absolutely, canelo doesn't belong in any top 10 p4p lists anymore. Also, as much of a fan I am of Bivol - on current form he doesn't serm to be top 3 anymore either. Let's hope he recovers a bit more and it's not his way out

 

So, Krieg MacJelnan isn't even on ANYONE'S top TEN? Da hell?

 

Why? Ennis is probably the best fighter from 147-160.

 

How does one come to this conclusion? He was almost stopped by a relative nobody in slapping feathers Zayas at 154, he ducked Bud, ducked Vergil Ortiz, and let the Norman Jr fight slip away, and he hasnt fought a single quality opponent in his entire career at 30 years of age.

Aside from being a black supremacist, how can one objectively come to that conclusion? He is still a prospect and its sad. Looks like hes a decent fighter, but there's a reason why he stayed away from Bud, said Vergils team used the wrong email address, stopped answering Vergils calls, said Norman Jr wanted too much $$. There's a reason why those things happened. He fights pillow-fisted Zayas and we see Jaron do the Bambi dance...ah, now it makes sense.

Ennis is the worst champ at 154. I dont even know if Ennis beats current version of Tim Tszyu. Fundora and Vergil stop Jaron, outright. I think Madrimov beats Jaron. Ditto for Murtazaliev.

Count on Ennis to fight a no-hoper next.

 

Doesn't Bivol have the most wins against top 10 p4p fighters out of any figther right now? A shame he's so inactive right now. If he fights benavidez and wins, it would be 3 p4p wins.

 

Except he didn't get stopped, he nearly killed Zayas in a FOTY candidate to win the unified titles. This isn't Sebestian Fundora God forbid, who got knocked out by current #46 ranked Brian Mendoza or Tim Tszyu who got comically KO'd and is 4-3 in his last 7 fights. Ennis ducked Crawford, due to his management, that's about it and Bud is retired right now. They offered Brian Norman Jr. 2 million for a unification fight, he turned it down. The Vergil Ortiz fight is going to happen down the road, where the **** is Ortiz gonna go anyway? He has no belts despite campaigning in 3 different weight classes. That's the real prospect right there, not unified champion in 2 different divisions Jaron Ennis.

Idk what race has to do with anything, I'm not even sure why you brought it up, makes you look like a clown. Again, Ennis is the worst champ at 154 compared to who? Egg shell chin Fundora and Josh Kelly are the other champs(Kelly's lone loss was from David Avanesyan TKO6 who got KO'd in 5 by Ennis btw) while Fundora still hasn't avenged his Mendoza KO.
