Champion in 2 weight classes. Clears out a division and does things in the ring so well it's indescribable, that's why he's at the top for me.
I dont deny that he does things in the ring that are absolutely jaw dropping, his technique and style are the best around and he's a joy to watch but.........Which division has Loma cleared out???
He lost his first meaningful fight at featherweight for the vacant title. He then won the vacant title against a good fighter in Russell Jr and defended it with a points win over a fighter that had barely fought outside Thailand. His next 2 defences after that were against b level opposition. His level of opposition has been better at 130 but he still aint 'cleared out' that division either! His achievements in the pro game dont come anywhere near the likes of Ward, GGG, Canelo, you could even state a case for Crawford being above him. I have no doubt he will be at the very top of the list in the next few years and possibly stay there for a long time but to have him top just now is premature in my opinion
1 Mayweather
2 Pacquiao
3 Canelo
3 Ward
4 Crawford
5 Loma
6 GGG
7 Rigo
8 Mikey Garcia
9 Spence
10 Anthony Joshua
Im sure people wont like 1 and 2, but Floyd IS back AND to this day I still dont pick anyone else to beat Pac over two divisions from 140-147. The only one that has a decent chance is Crawford. You dont take someone off the list just because you are tired of them when they are the best across multiple divisions, that is the very definition of p4p.
So your #1 is a guy who has exactly one quality win? Must be another skin pigmentation thing on your part.
If this is the case why does he have the same amount of black fighters as white?
the most dominant champion in the sport fighting in one of the sports glamour divisions.
You must be talking about Ward, none of this is true about g string. You can't be the most dominant champion in boxing with one quality win, not to mention g string struggled to win that one.

1. Ward
2. Kovalev
3. Crawford
4. Lomachenko
5.Rigondeaux
6. Golovkin
7. Srisaket
8. Gonzalez
9. Thurman
10. Spence
11. Alvarez
12. PAC
13. Lara
14. Joshua
Maybe switch 5 and 6 around but Rigo is a better boxer just thinner resume if he had a win like that of Ward over Kovalev once he'd be top 1 or 2 for me, Loma ain't got that notable win yet the year lay off for Walters really detracts for me.
Ward
GGG
Canelo
Lomachenko
Chocalatito
Crawford
Thurman
Rigo
Spence Jr
Joshua
Lomachenko too high on peoples lists in my opinion, how can you rank the guy higher than fighters like GGG and Canelo based on his record

P4p lists are dumb. Unfairly favour slightly above average lightweights with fast crowd friendly motor skills.
All these lists rating loma ahead of Canelo and GGG say it all. Get out of here. We gonna start putting undefeated under 12s champions on here next?
Just measure everyone by their own division.
If I HAD to make one, I'd say the two stand outs for me are golovkin and Canelo but GGG takes, until now anyway, very easy fights. It will be settled once and for all in September but until then I'm going with Canelo.
1 Paul Smith
2 Brandon Rios
3 Victor Ortiz
4 Yuri Foreman
5 Chavez JR
6 Roman Gonzalez the defensive genius
7 Arthur Abraham
8 Robert Helenius
9 Charles Martin
10 Probably Pacquiao if he turns back the clock and Ko's Jeff Horn. I just hope he's been swimming for this one.
