Loma Crawford Pac Ward Kov Loma at the top. Crawford and Pac are interchangeable for 2 and 3. Ward and Kovalev are interchangeable for 4 and 5. Knocking on the TOP-FIVE door: GGG
1. Ward 2. Kovalev 3. Chocolatito 4. GGG 5. Crawford 6. Lomachenko 7. Pacquiao 8. Canelo 9. Thurman 10. Inoue/ spence Don't mind any list, for me top 4 are interchangeable depends on your preference.
Nice list except as I can't abide in the atrocity that was 114-113 I have it slightly different with similar names. Kovalev Ward GGG Thurman Crawfish
GGG is easily top 5 no matter what you think of his top 5 wins. He goes ahead of Ward on my list if Ward loses again to Kovalev, AND GGG beats Saunders in the summer. Kovalev would still hold #1 if he beats Ward again. If Ward actually wins this time, Ward gets his due and takes 1st, and GGG would take 2 if he got BJS in the summer. Beterbiev is still a contender at this point. We havent seen him in with an top 10 at LHW much less a prime A/B level fighter. So, yeah, p4p is no less than 3 wins away for him. Same for Loma IMO. except.....he could do it with another 1-2 A listers, though Sosa is NOT one of em. Brook will easily move back into the top 10 if he beats Spence without a robbery, even if it's close. Likely back into 7 if he stops Spence. Spence will crack my top 15, not on resume as Brook will be his only A level win, but similar to Loma, on expedience to the A level.
hold on.... so lemme get this straight...brook was in your top 10 before he fought golovkin correct? thats what is implied in your last paragraph... now if spence were to beat him, in his own backyard, that would only let spence crack your top 15 because thats spences only A level win? so who was brooks A level win that had him placed in your top 10 previous to golovkin?
Not impressed...He has the frame of a light heavyweight at best but has bulked up like a typical gym knob....He is only 18...grow into your natural weight or be prepared to be fondled by naturally bigger men.
Porter, come on....dont be obtuse. But it's his whole body of work, and HOW he beat them that him #7 on MY P4P list prior to his GGG fight, though he did drop down to #11 bwo his KO loss, and has been pushed down to 13 on my personal list due to lack of a fight since(through no fault of his own) Put into perspective his LOC going into the GGG fight. Porter was/IS a wrecking ball, and had worked his way into the A list with wins over LoGreco, Alexander and Malignaggi. And the NEW Ray Robinson is actually a far better fighter than most give credit to. Robinson is a solid fighter and with better mgmt, would be a top 15ish WW himself. Senchenko was beaten only by Malignaggi who was a styles nightmare for him, and it was obvious he was overwhelmed by the speed and never quite got himself going. But aside from that fight, Senchenko has had a fairly solid career, and Brook annihilated the former longtime WBA Champ. Michael Jennings was a perfectly acceptable titlist for Cotto to win a title in his second weight class against, but for Brook's resume, I guess he's made to be ish. Same for Hatton. GBP dragged Matty to 154 for ol Yeller to fight him for the vacant WBC title, but when Brook dominated him at his natural weight, the win is downplayed. Jackewiecz, NDou, and Jones are staples on several top tier fighters resumes, but because Jones once gave Brook a tough fight, it's an overlooked W and used as a criticism. Aydin got in the way of Dan getting Mayweather. Instead, Aydin got Guerrero, and Guerrero got Mayweather. Dan then beat Canadian wrecking ball Bizier for another shot, and Brook took him out. Bizier, a wrecking ball in the mold of Porter, was supposed to be a walkover of Lawson, the second coming of Tyson, and Bizier proved to the world that his power and chin were not gonna be pushed away, and he commenced to making Lawson into his biitch. Again, the IBF forced Brook into the ring, not letting him get his Khan/Mayweather/Pac etc fight......and again, Brook dominated his mandate who had just dominated Lawson. Brook again tries for Khan/Pac/money(Cash that is ) and again, the IBF says take this other killer on. Spence is a different kinda animal. We'll see how this plays, but yeah, prior to GGG.......#7 on my list.
