1. Crawford 2. Lomachenko 3. GGG 4. Canelo 5. Mikey 6. Rungvisai 7. Spence 8. Inoue 9. Usyk 10. Joshua *** My list based off skills, resume, & losses (or lack there of)... Thurman removed for InActivity. Gassiev can enter with win over Usyk. Guys on the brink of entering? Kova, Thurman, Santa Cruz, Wilder, BJS. Why AJ? Underrated resume. Ws over Klitschko, Parker (top 5), Whyte (top 5), Takam (top 15), Breazelle (top 15) Why Bud over Loma? Well Loma has better wins, but I have Bud over Loma cause Bud never took an L. He never come close to losing
Inoue hasn't done much lately but very skilled... Hes barely hanging on but has a good bout at 118 lined up
Whyte isn't a top 5 heavyweight. Although I'm just picking it's not that bad although I personally have Lomachenko and GGG ahead of Crawford.
Excellent list, I think Spence, Usyk and Joshua all deserve top 10 places. My only amendments would be that I feel GGG/Canelo are too high...especially Canelo who has lost all his biggest fights. Great list overall.
Not a bad list, Chicano. The only thing I could pick at is your comment about losses in general and Loma in particular having an L on the record. Loma has taken on serious competition from day one. Bud has steadily grown into that level of competition. Big difference. Close losses aren’t that big of a deal when at the highest level. Now, if you are using losses to decipher between guys when it’s a dead heat, I get that, but to have it as one of your three main criteria, it reeks of New Age ranking of the best. We don’t rank the all-time greats by losses, we shouldn’t rank the current greats that way either.
Gassiev beat Ring rated #4 Lebadev and #5 Dorticos. Usyk beat Ring rated # 3 Briedis. The winner will easily be top 5 but i don't think either of them are top 10 right now. Golovkin Crawford Lomachenko Canelo Rungvisai Garcia Kovalev Joshua Thurman Inoue Thats how i have it.. Loma overtakes Crawford when he beats Linares .
All very subjective and I can see an argument to several changes as I think people like different styles. Glad you mentioned Inoue world champ in his 6th fight and now a 2 weight champ with only 15 fights. I would struggle to have Crawford at #1 at the moment though think he has the potential to get there
Not sure why Crawford is up there. Not one special win. All mediocre opposition. His best win is a midget in Gamboa. I'm not a big Golovkin fan mostly because of his style but people called him bum killer before Jacobs and GGG. Crawford's opposition is no better, maybe worse. GGG is easily above him with the Jacobs victory and the bull**** Canelo draw.
