The undisputed champion, Josh Taylor is #5 in the updated Ring Magazine pound-for-pound rankings. Only 18-0 and already achieved so much. ''I'm a fighting man. I'd fight absolutely anyone. I'd fight my own shadow if I could'' JT 1 Canelo 2 Naoya Inoue 3 Terence Crawford 4 Oleksandr Usyk 5 Josh Taylor 6 Errol Spence 7 Teofimo Lopez 8 Juan Estrada 9 Vasyl Lomachenko 10 Kazuto Ioka
Normally I would object Canelo being number 1 because of cheating, but he signed with esbc so let it be lol
Where is Tyson Fury? How is Tyson Fury not on this list when he schooled a 10-year super champion and went toe to toe with the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time and made him say no mas??? Flawed System
I think Usyk and Crawford are a bit too high. I'm a big fan of Usyk but it's years since his last big win (Gassiev). Same for Crawford who prefers to fight shot Brits than take on challenges. Other than that it's a pretty good list.
I have no problem with him being on the list but 5 is way too high for him. He shouldn't be above Lopez or Spence.
One of the better lists I have seen. Personally Lopez should be above Spence and Lomachenko above Estrada. I also don't believe Ioka should be on the list. He could be replaced by Pacquiao, or even Fury.
How do you justify Crawford ahead of Spence? I don't understand that one at all. Taylor is maybe a skooch too high but belongs in the top 10. I wouldn't have Ioka on there.
Wow, many of you guys don't watch lower weights ? Ioka is one of the best fighters there. please watch more boxing, There are more weight class than you think
Top five should be: 1. Usyk 2.Taylor 3. Inoue 4. Crawford 5.Lomachenko - he deserved at least a draw against Lopez winning rounds 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Lopez getting rounds 2 and 6 is criminal considering, despite Bradley jizzing himself, almost none of his "big" shots actually landed and Lopez received the cleaner shots Canelo doesn't get into the top 5 robbing GGG x2, and Lara.. Then weight jumping to suit his cherrypicking.. Also, card stacking and pharmacy supplies.. Oh and fixing fights
P4P 1.Inoue, 2.Lomachenko, 3.Crawford, 4.Canelo, 5.Usyk, 6.Chocolatito, 7.Estrada, 8.Ioka, 9.Beterbiev, 10.Bivol, 11.Spence, 12.Joshua, 13.Garcia, 14.Saunders, 15.Lopez, 16.Davis, 17.Wangek, 18.Taylor
