Congratulations!
Andre got beat up by Kovalev, but he put up a good effort (not talking about the obvious corruption here).
ESPN knows that the fix was in so Kovalev is still ranked ahead of Ward P4P, he will never surpass GGG anyway.

GGG deserves the second spot as his real resume is
Jacobs - Forfeit
BJS - Forfeit
Canelo - Forfeit
Cotto - Forfeit
Dominic Wade - KO
Kell Brook - KO
David Lemeiux - KO
Daniel Geale - KO
......
Lets be honest here, all these guys saying they need more time more years more practice and dropping belts is a clear balant duck which indirectly proves these guys already know the guy is better hence they have already conceded. Had they made the fight (I am not even included some other ducks like Martinez, N'Dam etc) GGG would already be top 3 MW of all time.
Also to note that resume is very subjective and in this case GGG had not even had a close fight with anyone, he hardly loses a round. Talent and seeing things also plays a huge part in p4p and all those fighters, coaches and experts are not idiots when they praise GGG heavily while watching him.
Its the same reason Lomachenko is considered one of the best talents and p4p fighter by many despite only having 7 fights. Same goes for Rigo who is in my top 5 p4p. You can look at these guys and tell the difference.
Also, anyone who includes Canelo in top 5 needs to stop watching boxing. He would be lucky to break into top 10.
if anyone ever goes the distance with ggg he will lose. the slick ward fanboys will say he was outboxed or make up things like borderline body shots are better than clean head shots, landing less punches but with more accuracy is better, etc...

kov and roman should be #1 and 2. ward shouldn't be on the list at all. 5 years now since he's beaten a top 5 fighter. unbelievable. ggg and kovalev have both beaten many in that span. but ward doesn't get any breaks he says hmmm
Fvck espn...
Carl Frampton didn't even get a single vote,,, Fvcking Deontay wilder got 3..
I honestly trust NSb trolls judgement more than I do ESPN's... They only good for breaking news, not expert opinions..
Anyway, disagree with #4 spot. I think #2 is right. He did move up a division and had a very close fight with Kovalev - no matter who you think won. It should be Gonzalez, Ward, Kovalev. After that, you can put Pac, Golovkin, Frampton or Crawford.
