    Not sure how anyone could count Peterson as a win for Garcia.

    If you knew how to score a fight by round by round basis, it was a clear cut win for Garcia. :yep

    Almost every champion of the past has a couple of those on their resumé. But that clearly should have been a loss indeed.

    Roman Gonzalez, 7-0, 5 KO's
    Wins: Edgar Sosa, Akira Yaegashi, Francisco Rodriguez Jr, Juan Francisco Estrada, Ramon Garcia, Katsunari Takayama, Yutaka Niida

    Andre Ward, 5-0, 1 KO
    Wins: Chad Dawson, Carl Froch, Arthur Abraham, Sakio Bika, Mikkel Kessler

    Guillermo Rigondeaux, 4-0, 1 KO
    Wins: Joseph Agbeko, Nonito Donaire, Rico Ramos, Ricardo Cordoba

    Sergei Kovalev, 4-0, 3 KO's
    Wins: Jean Pascal, Bernard Hopkins, Nathan Cleverly, Gabriel Campillo

    Danny Garcia, 8-0, 3 KO's
    Wins: Paul Malignaggi, Lamont Peterson, Zab Judah, Amir Khan, Erik Morales X2, Kendall Holt, Nate Campbell

    Terence Crawford, 2-0, 1 KO
    Wins: Yuriorkis Gamboa, Ricky Burns

    Gennady Golovkin, 2-0, 2 KO's
    Wins: Daniel Geale, Kassim Ouma

    If I ignore the controversial decisions/performances for Danny and go purely by names... On a second thought I've shifted him down.

    EDIT: Rigo was too low, shifted him up but him and Kovalev are neck to neck for me basically. Rigo has the best win between them but Kovalev has better resume all in all. So you could say it's a tie.

    Ward is way out in front looking at that list of wins. He'd be followed by Kovalev and then Gonzalez.

    Ward
    Kovalev
    Gonzalez
    Garcia
    Rigo
    Crawford
    Golovkin

    That's not how I would rate them in terms of ability, but based on title fights it's hard to argue with a different order for me.
