GGG competition is even worse. Outside of Canelo and Jacobs, his resume is very poor. As much as people hate on Gamboa, he’s much better than anyone on 3Gs record outside of Canelo.
You mean Gamboa who was coming off an 18 month layoff and fighting above his best weight....that Gamboa? Gamboa as talented as he is/was has no business at 135.
His legacy still casts a shadow over the current SMW and LHW division but thats not enough to still have him rated in my current list. I have to apply strong rules and fairness when making these lists.
I'd revise it in this way. 1. Loma 2. GGG 3. Crawford 4. Spence 5. Mikey 6. Charlo 7. Gassiev 8. Rungvisai 9. Joshua 10. Canelo
1. Gennady Golovkin 2. Vasyl Lomachenko 3. Terence Crawford 4. Srisaket Sor Rungvisai 5. Saul Alvarez 6. Mikey Garcia 7. Anthony Joshua 8. Badou Jack 9. Keith Thurman 10. Oleksandr Usyk Once again, badou jack is given absolutely ZERO credit whatsoever for his achievements so far. Outrageous. The guy busted up DeGale, beat Groves, beat Cleverly, beat Bute, beat Dirrell. What does the guy have to do? No excuses for him to be top 10 at LEAST if he beats Stevenson. I mean, who has Mikey Garcia and Terence Crawford fought who are on that level? Have they beat opponents on that level? I think not!
Jokes aside Lomachenko is an extremely talented fighter but the list below isnt about who I think is most talented but where I think the fighters would be rated for recent resume wise and wins in recent fights. Before anyone comments. I was surprised myself that I had Joshua rated as highly but couldnt think of anyone who in recent fights had done better. Sure there are fighters with overall resumes but W Klitschko, D Breazeale, D Whyte, C Takam, C Martin, J Parker were all highly rated HWs when Joshua fought them and he has fought those fights one after the other for 6 highly rated fighers in a row. I was also surprised to have Saunders over Golovkin but felt Eubank Jnr was a better win than several of Golovkins and A Lee was also arguable. That is basing it on actual results and not opinions of how I may have scored a fight. Would have Golovkin higher if he had the win over Alvarez. - Alvarez - Joshua - Usyk - Lomachenko - Gassiev - Linares - Crawford - Saunders - Golovkin - Inoue I could completely pick fault with my own top 10. So to be honest, I couldnt say. I could look at it again and think how destructive Golovkin has looked and put him at #1 in another argument Forget that, I will look at editing it some time later
