Updated pound for pound rankings…

Bivol isn't number 3 p4p to me, no way. Very good win tonight, solid fighter predicted he'd win think he'd win a rematch I'll put Bivol just outside top 10.

I still think Beterbiev can potentially beat Bivol. Bivol is the better boxer but I think Beterbiev hits a lot harder than Canelo. Canelo had a good run in a weak SMW he wants to go back down there but like I said before this fight Benavidez is a very dangerous fight for him.

 

Put it this way. A win over Gvozdyk is much more impressive than a win over Canelo.

 

I think as is the case the winner get's a little overrated and the loser get's underrated. I still think Beterbiev is the bigger threat at Light Heavy and would probably stop Canelo. I'm undecided about Bivol v Beterbiev as Bivol is pretty tough but I''m certain Beterbiev punches a lot harder than Canelo so would like to see that fight sooner rather than later. Although Beterbievs issue is age and with a rematch for Bivol and Canelo on the cards. one has to think some decline will be visible for Artur by the time an undisputed fight comes around.

 

Stays pretty much the same for me. In fact, it stays exactly the same.

 

I picked Bivol in this fight. He was hurt against Joe Smith Jr. We will see Bivol is definitely a very good boxer. Thing is with Beterbiev he has looked like he can be hurt and/or outbound but he's relentless in his pressure and it takes a lot to deter him. I'm not sure Bivol has the power to hurt Beterbiev enough to stop him and if he doesn't I think there's a good chance Bivol himself will be stopped.

 

You could swap some of these around but this is what I'm feeling in the wake of Spence-Ugas, Fury-Whyte, Stevenson-Valdez and Bivol-Canelo this month:

1 Usyk
2 Fury
3 Crawford
4 Inoue
5 Spence
6 Bivol
7 Canelo
8 Gonzalez
9 Stevenson
10 Donaire

Ioka and Estrada just miss out on a spot.

 

1 Usyk
2 Crawford
3 Bivol
4 Alvarez
5 Inoue
6 Lomachenko
7 Fury
8 Kambosos
9 Spence
10 Josh Taylor

 

Why is Canelo above GGG when he lost two him twice and fought come to lose 168blers?

 

Usyk
Bivol
Inoue
Crawford
Loma
Chocolatito
Alvarez
Spence
Taylor
Calzaghe (& still..)

 

1- Usyk
2- Crawford
3- Inoue
4- Fury
5- Canelo
6- Spence
7- Tank
8- Beterbiev
9- Bivol
10- GGG

 

He just easily beat the concensus p4p #1 (whatever value u put in such things) .. so there's a solid case he can be put in the top 3.. A win over Alvarez was one of the sports most treasured prizes.. he's a special talent that is clear & obviously one of the top 10 best fighters in boxing right now

 

1 usyk
2 bivol
3 lomachenko
4 alvarez
5 crawford
6 fury
7 inoue
8 breidis
9 golovkin
10 kambosos jr

mentions: taylor, spence, beterbiev

 

Alvarez is still P4P # 1 IMO. His body of work isn't erased because he lost (for the 1st time in 8 years) in a weight class he has no business being in.

He was daring to be great.

From 168 & below, no one can beat him so it's not like the Bivol loss changes that.
