Now that Floyd and Manny have both retired, Povetkin got caught with an illegal substance in his system and Canelo dropped the belt a few things have changed.
So who is in your current top 5? They don't necessarily have to be the best, just your personal favourite boxers at the moment.
Mine (in no particular order):
Gennady Golovkin
Deontay Wilder
Sergey Kovalev
Andre Ward
David Lemieux
Also a couple of "guilty pleasures":
I like Amir Khan but he is frustrating. He should be so much better than he is but he lacks the discipline, ring IQ and chin. He can still iron out a lot of those issues but I don't think it will happen.
Despite the endless hate he gets I'm a fan of David Haye. He is a legit fighter and has the capability to beat anyone. He'll keep climbing up my list the more active he gets.
Canelo was in my top 5 but recent events have changed that. Povetkin wasn't far off but he's certainly dropped now.
I dont have 5...my favorites are probably
Rigondeaux
Lomachenko
Lara
Crawford
Ward
Kovalev
Moreno
Postol
Guerrero
Chop Chop (war Chop!!!!)
Peterson
And a few prospects
Kovalev
Ward
Bradley
Porter
Gonzalez
Gonzalez needs to make one of the big fights waiting for him, though. Thurman might end up on this list soon, he's close.
Who do you want to see chocolatito fight next? Inoue?
Kovalev
Ward
Bradley
Porter
Gonzalez
