Dan doesn't know ******* about boxing...read his bio, the dude just randomly got put on covering local boxong for a local paper.. Had never watched it before, but got tasked with covering it... Now he acts like he is an expert and been watching for several decades, when in reality, he is a hack and only been watching for a very brief time

Either way the dude is a stooge, double talks, and really doesn't know boxing at all. The only reason anyone cares about him is because he is with espn.. He is a good source of information on upcoming fights because everyone leaks info to him because he is with espn, but his actual understanding of the sport is pathetic.

As to his analytical ability, I don't look to a reporter for X's and O's but he has a pretty good understanding of what he's watching and watches more fights than anyone I know outside Donovan.

Ranking Ward just to have an American on the list is shallow.
GGG ranking is fair I think pound for pound he's better than Kovalev.
Wladomir at #1 is okay but I wouldn't be mad if Gonzales got the position.
Manny is still top five.
