    Fury is the best at heavyweight

    not sure about cruiser

    Kovalev is still rated No.1 at 175 by boxrec despite being beat by Canelo.

    Canelo is the best super middle

    Canelo fought GGG to decide who was the best middle, Canelo won but may not fight at middle again.

    light middle doesn`t currently have any world class fighters in that top 10

    Crawford is the best welter

    Josh Taylor is the best light welter

    Loma is the best lightweight

    No out-right best junior lightwweight

    Warrington is the best featherweight

    Haven`t seen anyone at super bantam

    Inoue-bantam

    I haven`t seen any fighter below bantam fight. Good enough list?

    List is meh, if you're talking legacy at each weight; guys like Joshua are higher up than Fury. Both two time champs but Joshua has better competition and actually defended titles.

    Usyk, if he still counts, is obviously the best CW. If not, it's Briedis.

    Chad Dawson is still active, he's the greatest LHW atm imo.

    None of the SMWs deserve to be rated highly. Canelo is the best, but he's not fought at 168 on over a year. If anyone's at the top it's probably Smith.

    MWs - Golovkin. Not close.

    Could not give one **** about 154.

    147 it's Pacquiao. Obviously.
    140, again obvious one. Josh Taylor.
    135, another obvious choice. Loma.
    130 - Berchelt?
    126 - Warrington.
    122 - Rigo
    118 - Donaire is greater than Inoue.
    115 - Rungvisai or Chocolatito
    112/108 - Chocolatito
    105 - Big Wang

    HW - Fury
    CW - Breidis
    LHW - Bivol / Beterbiev
    SMW - Callum Smith
    MW - Canelo
    LMW - No one jumps out to me at LMW
    WW - Spence for me has the far better wins at Welter than Crawford. 50/50 fight between them.
    LWW - Josh Taylor
    LW - Loma
    SFW - A number of decent fighters at the weight and no real absolute standout.
    FW - Josh Warrington
    SBW - No stand out
    BW - Inoue
    Super Fly - ?
    Fly - Martinez
