10. Tyson Fury (only cause hes held all 4 belts)
Crawford at the top is insane. pac should be 1 or 2. He came back and whooped an entire new generation of welterweights, showed those young boys what a real fighter is lol
B.
Where's Golovkin? He went life and death with your #3 yet is not on your top10.
Josh Taylor? Really? He squeeked by rougarou in an unimpressive fashion/
Golovkin hasnt done anything impressive since 2017. Since then hes drawn, lost and beat 2 c level fighters and 1 b level fighter who many thought should have won
And youre implying rougarou was a easy fight? Lol he was undefeated and a favourite to win the tournament.
Taylor won the ali trophy in a stacked division and his last 4 opponents had a combined 94-1 record

Fury is 10 due to the whole myth of hw shouldnt be p4p
Canelo definitely is a diva and his antics definitely are wrong. That being said his last 4 fights were kovalev, jacobs kovalev ggg x 2 so i have to give him credit due to the weight those names carry whether they were passed it or not. Hes also gonna be a legit 168 champ after he knocks out yildrim
Taylor is one of few fighters you can say is a clearcut best of his division. (Ramirez ducked the tourney) his last 4 opponents had a 94-1 record combined
Pacquiao has to be on there due to consistency. The man is 41 beating guys like thurman and broner mathysee etc
Fair points I guess.
Good point about Taylor, I've been sleeping on him.
I feel Canelo is far too high, Pacquiao is too high, and Fury is too low.
P4P is who is the best size aside, and considering Fury is basically Lomachenko and Crawford combined (there is nothing in boxing he can't do.), he would only be faster and slicker and more explosive at something like MW. Combined with his resume and belts, I have him #1. I do appreciate Crawford being 1 on your list and Lomachenko is a top 3 fighter.
Canelo I don't rate as high as others. The only reason I have him in my top 10 is his resume is good but my eye test gives him a C. Major gifts have placed him so highly in people eyes and I don't neglect that as I also had Lara up and consider that a highway robbery.
Pacquiao is defying logic almost at this point and Thurman is a great win but outside of that, he hasn't done anything extraordinary that I should place him above Fury or Wilder, Wilder because outside of his loss and draw to fury hes still coming off of a big title defending run and I don't dock guys hard for getting beat by the only better guy in their division. Same reason I didnt drop GGG lower in my list for losing to a guy he got robbed against prior(Canelo).
No issues with Taylor if that's your fan pick I don't have him in my top 15 personally but it isn't criminal unless you had him top 5.
I give it a 8/10 because you can argue most of that list with reason even if I disagree with several selections.

Fury should be much higher but not a bad list. How many in that list have won every belt in the division and beat 2 long reigning champions in big high profile fights?
I can’t agree with Crawford being number one. He has never beaten any real top level guys. I am a massive fan of his ability but you have to prove it against top-notch fighters to be considered the best in the game. Can you really be a pound for pound number 1 when your best when is probably Postol?
Surprised Usyk isn’t on there. Obviously he’s done nothing at heavyweight but he cleaned out cruiserweight and fought all the best guys. He’s done much more than people like Beterbiev.
Surprised you have taylor so high, That’s not a bad thing, I just mean that many don’t include him. Considering he’s had only 16 fights, there is probably only Loma and Usyk who have better accolades after so few fights. Taylor deserves to be on the list for sure, Or at least very close to being on it.
Fury is a hw so i did think it was unorthodox to include him
Crawford was undisputed cleaned out his division and moved up and beat some good fighters in khan benavidez horn
Usyk has fought once in 2 years i think thats the only reason ive left him out
Taylors last 4 opponents have had a record of 94-1.
