    Golovkin, Lomachenko, Kovalev, (beat the hell out of the damned coward SOB Ward), Vladimir Klitschko if he beats Joshua. Lomachenko is the most skilled boxing living today..............

    Andre Ward
    Sergei Kovalev
    Terence Crawford

    Kieth Thurman
    Shinsuke Yamanaka
    Mikey Garcia
    Guillermo Rigondeaux

    Not in order, but I'd say those guys are a pretty clear top 15 right now for me.

    1. Gonzalez
    2. Ward
    3. Lomachenko
    4. Crawford
    5. Thurman
    6. Kovalev
    7. Golovkin
    8. Santa Cruz
    9. Canelo
    10. Rigondeaux

    Note- I actually thought Kovalev beat Ward but I don't think it was a robbery and I am a big believer in actual results being far more important than subjective views of what happened, even my own. And so Ward is 2 and Kova 6, in my own meaningless rankings anyway!

    if you meant about me saying you have Bradley at Number 2, then you do, coz Mayweather is retired. if you meant about me saying you were grammatically incorrect, you were, coz you said "you are intellectual disadvantaged".

    i can't believe you called me intellectually disadvantaged with that grammar and logic, although upon reading that again i suspect English may not be your first language so i take the grammar part back. That was when he'd come back though, floyd hasn't fought since 2015 & is only coming back for an exhibition so i think its time to take him out

    Lara suffers the same fate here as Rigondeaux (who is in some ways even lucky to still be listed). Very nice resume and skill, but how many years removed are we from his accomplishments that would carry him in this discussion? He's been fighting too mediocre/faded/unranked of opponents lately.

    He's certainly in the discussion but I just would rank him below each of those guys at the moment. He very well could and maybe even would be my #16, but, I dunno, just my opinion.

    1. Good point.
    2. I feel you. Not sure what your'e responding to?
    3. Never questioned that. I'm cool with Bradley hey I repped his 140 resume before it was the cool thing to do. But he doesn't have that many quality wins the past few years, especially given in this conversation. I potentially neglect him at the moment. Would love for him to face a top 5 WW or something dramatic elite sort-of opponent.

    Rough list.

    I don't understand why people are ranking Crawford in their top 5, his best wins are Postol and Gamboa.
