Heavyweight: Wlad
200 - Cruiserweight: Huck
175 - Light Heavyweight: Stevenson (I'm sticking by it but no probs with Kov being rater as one)
168 - Super Middleweight: Froch

154 - Jr Middleweight: Cenalo Alvarez
147 - Welterweight: Pacquiao

105 - Strawweight: dunno and not sure if I care...the fighters kinda look like children
Good list but @ WW, Pacquiao hasn't beaten an actual WW since Shane Mosley in 2011, sure the guys he's fought are now campaining at WW and are some of the best(Bradley, Marquez). Marquez came up in weight, Rios, Bradley, Algieri were all JWW's coming up. How can you remove Floyd who beat a WW in Maidana, and put Pacquiao there for beating a JWW at a catchweight? I know it's hard for fans to admit, because it's not something that happens often, but Floyd Mayweather Jr is the best fighter in two different weight classes. He beat Canelo and Cotto, the two best fighters at 154.
Bradley has been fighting at welterweight for 3 years now, he's a full time welterweight. Most of the top guys at welterweight have moved up from lower weight classes, including Maidana.

I just feel that Pacquiao's win over Bradley meant a lot more than the two Maidana wins which I felt showed Mayweather as a much slower fighter. But I don't want to turn to a Pac/Floyd argument as i'm a fan of both - I have no issue with anyone ranking Floyd over Pac at 147.
Do you have a recent list?
I wonder what people think now? I put number 2 in brackets
Heavyweight: Wladimir Klitschko (Povetkin)
200 - Cruiserweight: Marco Huck (Hernandez)
175 - Light Heavyweight: Sergey Kovalev (Stevenson)

154 - Jr Middleweight: Floyd Mayweather (Lara)
147 - Welterweight: Manny Pacquiao (Floyd)
140 - Jr Welterweight: Danny Garcia (Matthysse)
135 - Lightweight: Terence Crawford (Vazquez)
130 - Jr Lightweight: Takashi Uchiyama (Barthelemy)

118 - Batamweight: Shinsuke Yamanaka (Kameda)
115 - Jr Bantamweight: Omar Narvaez (Cuadras ? difficult one really)
112 - Flyweight: Roman Gonzalez (Yaegashi)
108 - Jr Flyweight: Naoya Inoue (Nietes)
105 - Strawweight: Theres really none to choose from here.

Alvarado beat Herrera doe who beat Garcia doe. :rofl:
all I know is that Garcia beat two guys who were thought to be the best in the division and then got the official win over Harrera. Was it a close fight? Yes. Was it a robbery? No.
I can't give a solid answer below 122.
HW: Wladimir
CW: Huck
LHW: Hopkins
SMW: Ward
MW: GGG
JMW: Mayweather
WW: Mayweather
JWW: Danny Garica
LW: Crawford
jlw: Uchiyama
sfw: Donaire
fw: Rigondeaux
I'd love to agree with you that Donaire is #1 at 126, but I can't do it. He didn't exactly look great against Vetyeka, and Walters and Gonzalez might whoop his ass. Maybe even the Lomachenko/Russell winner could beat him.
I hope not, because I'm a fan, but Nonito did almost lose to Vic Darchinyan.
I could care less about Boxingscene polls
It's not interesting, it's wrong
If only "fans" watched boxing eh?

Do you care that more than 70% of the media scored it for Herrera? Danny lost that fight.
HW: Wlad
LHW: No one, these guys need to fight.
SMW: Ward
MW: No one, Golovkin will have a chance to make his claim against Geale.
LMW: Ginger/Alvarez winner
WW: Mayweather
JWW: Herrera, he beat the man to be the man.
LW: No one, these guys need to fight.
Not going to pretend to know enough about the lower divisions to have an educated opinion. Obviously Rigondeaux is the man at super bantamweight.

Marquez no. 1 in 147? Interesting.
It's not interesting, it's wrong
ruslans resume is bare bones and he still lost to herrera as well. i honestly dont see any legit way to call him the #1 fighter in the division.
