9/10 Mr. Christie. But the wrong one is Crawford at no.1. For all your other selections you have gone for recency, but for Crawford you've placed him for his multi weight career. Aside from the fact that what he did at 135 and 140 a decade ago has little relevance to what he can do at 154, even what he did against Spence has been superceded with his struggle against Madrimov. One of the reasons he boxed Madrimov was because he was wary of the Russian's power. And that was his only fight at this weight and further, I don't think Madrimov is top 3 for power at 154.
In any case, can reasonably assume that Bud is one and done at 154. He's not coming back there at 38 years of age, win or lose against Canelo. Lose and he retires. Win and I suspect he'll be tempted to pick up a belt at 160.

Over hyped, over hyped over hyped. Let him earn the acclaim.

Conwell has one of the most padded records in all of boxing. Take a close look. He hasn't fought anybody even remotely world class. Why should a cherry picker be rewarded with a high ranking?

Well in the interest of fairness since wilder and tank did it and were hyped why can't conwell?

Can you believe Breadman rates Conwell over Ortiz ? Based on his bias, I guess.

Crawford is never going to fight again at 154

Good Division. Vergil already fought 2 others on the top 10 list. He actually beat Madrimov in a better fashion than Crawford.

I was surprised that Madrimov was so timid for much of the fight with Ortiz Jr.

Fundora did well now, but can't really rate a win against a tomato can, or not very good contender. I know that sounds harsh, and I don't mean disrespect to any fighter.

Murtazaliev vs Vergil would be a fight.
