I was comparing his accomplishments to those of Broner, Both are high %KO's, both undefeated but Broner has belts in different divisions. the only reason you guys have a problem with Broner is because of his persona outside the ring.
compare their stats
It's one or the other. Either I am hating on broner or I love him. I have been accused of both in 24 hours time lol
I present my top five fighters in the world. The criteria I use to appraise the top fighters in the world may differ from the usual methods that pundits use. It has been the cause of drama from time to time, but the fight freaks in this community are not the usual batch, for the most part, they don't drink the koolaid. I trust my top five will be seen as what it is, my opinion. Not fact, not gospel, not how it is. You know what mean.
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr
Unfied Titlist at 154. Lineal champion in 2 divisions. Richest fighter in history. Best fighter of his generation. In the drivers seat to earn warren buffet type bucks. Untold type money. Who he fights next is a source of much debate. At this point who cares dude. We will watch no matter what.
2. Mickey Garcia
The best mix of youth, technique, power in the sport. Eats his opponents alive. Pedigree, intuition, guile, TOP flight instruction from his pops and his brother. A truly special talent. The only question surrounds his toughness. I wonder. Can he handle adversity?? If so, we are looking at a pound for pound king. Don Arum has annexed the smaller divisions, so Garcias résumé is going to be sparkling by the time he hits 147. What he does there will really elevate him. Rigo ducks him. Gamboa ducks him. They are boys, but Donaire is ducking. Everyone ducks that man. He needs to build his fan base, and force these duckers into fights. Mabye 2 fighters from 126 to 147 that could beat him.
3. The Krusher
The most dangerous man in the world. Both hands, awesome wrecking machine. Arrogant, kind of a jerk. GREAT for boxing. He is the best fighter in the middleweight classes. That qualifies him for this list. He is a betting favorite right now from 168 to cruiser. I don't think anyone could last 6 rounds. Mabye ward, but he gets touched, and that will not go in this situation. Adonis can duck him, GGG can duck him. Hopkins can short change him, Ward can try. None of those men win. This chap is a force of nature. A vergence in the force. His résumé is slightly thin, but I am a right now kind of a guy. Right now, no one beats this guy. To mean, to strong, to hungry. Clubber Lang redux
4. Andre Ward
I may catch some slack for the ovb displacement of SOG. It's warranted. I am not a fan of giving inactive dudes hood credit. Ward needs to fight another fight before I move him back. He looked like he took a step back in his last fight. He was getting touched. He primarily threw his left hook, he was devoid of the infinite diversity his offensive attack usually employs. 3 years ago he destroys Rodriguez. He also talks about the last phase of his career at a young age. I don't believe he could defeat the Krusher, not right now. His résumé is sparkling, his opposition splendid. He can move up this list, if he beats kovalev
5. Sergio Martinez
The lineal middleweight champion is getting real healthy right now. He is getting is legs, his passion for the sport. His style and his résumé are without reproach. He has been on a tear since he entered the world stage years ago. The only man that could defeat FMJ returns to boxing next summer. His rabid fan base will be treated to the biggest fight of his career. Should Martinez defeat Cotto/Mayweather, Sergio would jump a spot or two on my list. His speed, counter punching, and advanced right intelligence make him STILL, one of the very best fighters on the planet.
Honorable Mention

Bradley

How many times has floyd defended his title against his mandatory?
and we all have opinions about who could beat who but it hasnt happened, so i'll just stick with reality. You hate his persona but if it was someone else with the same credentials you'd be swinging from his nuts.
I respect broners credentials but I have a hard time putting in my pound for pound rankings. Not yet.
