I'm not dropping Gonzalez out of Top10 because he lost a controversial decision, in which he outlanded his opponent by more than 100 punches to a top contender in heavier division, in which he was cut via an accidental headbutt in the first round. If anything, my appreciation and respect for Roman has increased much more than in the previous 5 fights he was in.
:haha: :haha: That's how we record history now? Our own opinions?
Of course it is, P4P wise.
Judges have told me Bradley beat Pacquiao, Williams beat Lara, Garcia beat Herrera, etc...I'm not giving credence to how I rate fighters based on judges.
In my eye's Kovalev won that fight clearly, therefore I place him higher. Simple.
How does everyone's new list look after Saturday night?
Pacquiao
Ward
Golovkin
Lomachenko
Rigondeaux(inactive or would be higher)
Kovalev
Gonzalez
Crawford
Bradley
Joshua
How so? There's no consensus on who won his last fight. Using official decisions to justify your own personal judgement of boxings top 10 is bizarre..
But I see your point. The top of the list should be either Ward or Kovalev, whoever you thought won
I just go with the judges decision whether I agree or not. Too often people use biased personal opinion when they are upset their favorite lost.
Judges decisions take personal bias and butt hurt out of the equation.
I had kov and Jacobs winning but Ward and ggg got decisions. As such, Ward imo should be #1 given he has the kov win and titles in multiple weight classes.
everytime i see GGG at top 5 i wonder how big is boxing ,when so many casuals post on boxing forum.also Crawford high rankings are bull**** ,Canelo Pac, LSC or Frampton should be higher ,also Linares is one of the best out there.
Ward should be consensus #1.

I don't see how you can drop Chocolatito completely off the list, seeing as he won that fight. It was a bad decision.
This is a mess based on 2 bad decisions, but here goes. I know I'll get crapped on for retaining Chocolatito top 3, but seeing as he really won, he shouldn't drop.
1a Kova (bc he actually won)
1b Ward
3 Chocolatito (he won, but didn't look very good)
4 Bud
5 Loma
6 GGG (he won, but barely. My previous ranking of him was inflated)
7 Pac
8 Rigo
9 Inouye
10 LSC/Canelo/Thurman, etc. cant really differentiate at the bottom of the list
1. Ward (beat the boogeyman)
2. Pacquiao (I'll pick him over anybody at 147)
3. Thurman (wins over prime Porter and prime Garcia)
4. Lomachenko (Walters destruction, skillset)
5. Spence/Brook winner (two of the best welters)
6. Kovalev (Hopkins destruction.)
7. Rungvisai (beat most people's P4P king)
8. Crawford (washed Postol. many said he'll lose, now Postol a bum smh)
9. Jacobs (beat boogeyman #2 as an 8-1 underdog)
10. Canelo (wins over Lara and Cotto. time to face GGG in sept.)
GGG is not far behind. if he beats Canelo he's back in.
Rigo is nowhere near top ten. too inactive.
#1 should remain whoever you had winning Kovalev-Ward, Kovalev for me.
After that, it's all up in the air. I wouldn't argue with a lot of different placements.
Mine wouldn't look any different. I had Golovkin around 5/6 beforehand, and I'm not going to drop him based on that. Gonzalez falls as well, down in the mix at the back of the top 10 where like 5 or 6 fighters can be ranked.
