Last week, WBO super featherweight world champion Vasyl Lomachenko was a special guest on 'A Los Golpes' and was asked to provide his personal list of the top five pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.

The two-time Olympic gold medal winner topped off the list with WBC, WBA, IBO, IBF middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs).

This past Saturday night, Golovkin won a twelve round unanimous decision over Daniel Jacobs at New York's Madison Square Garden. The outcome snapped Golovkin's 23 fight knockout streak. It was also the first time where Golovkin had gone the twelve round distance. The fight was very competitive and Golovkin won by close scores of 114-113, 115-112, 115-112.

Number two on his list was former light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev. Coming in at number three on his list is WBC/WBO junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford, number four on the list is eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao.

And number five is WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia.

Lomachenko, who felt Golovkin did more than enough to beat Jacobs last weekend, explained his criteria for recognizing GGG as the top fighter in the sport.

"My opinion, first you need to fight with the top guys. Second, you need to have very, very good boxing skills. And of course, you need to have a title," Lomachenko said to BoxingScene.com.

Lomachenko says Andre Ward is not part of his top five. Ward defeated Kovalev last November by a close points decision to capture the IBF, WBA, WBO light heavyweight titles. Lomachenko felt Kovalev was robbed in the fight, and there were many others who also felt the scorecards were controversial.

Also not on the list, as far as the top five, is former four division world champion Roman "Chocholatito" Gonzalez. Last Saturday, as part of the Golovkin-Jacobs card, he suffered his first career defeat, by decision, to Srisaket Sor Rungvisai - and like Ward-Kovalev a lot of people felt the scorecards were controversial.
