The Op's list is the first I have see with Estrada on it - so much credit for that.
1/ Gonzalez
2/ Mayweather
3/ Rigo
4/ Inoue
5/ Ward
6/ Estrada
7/ Uchiyama
8/ Nietes
9/ Crawford
10/ GGG

See my post above for reasoning.

I understand where you are coming from...

But Jennings had some success in their fight and he only had 6 yrs boxing experience.

I think it was that pulev guy that wlad dropped he didn't hold as much there. Pulev did that.

Example. If povetkin knew that wlad would lay on top of him, why did he keep coming in with his head low for?

He held like 40 times against Pulev.

What is Povetkin supposed to? Stop trying to work inside? Yes, there are things a boxer can do to neutralize clinching, but it doesn't excuse the clincher.

Mayweather
Wlad
Rigo
Gonzalez
Ward(too good to be left outta the top 5)
Krusher
#48
Crawford
Froch(still on my list)
Cotto(he's back on my list)

He wins, that's the bottom line. I agree, it's ugly. And although the HW division is weak, his resume is far, far better than either GGG or Kovalev and he's dominated for much longer.

Byrd, McCline, Peter, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Chambers, Haye, Povetkin, etc.

All I can say for sure is that Mayweather is unbeatable at 154 and below and nobody beats Klitschko at heavyweight.

It's not just ugly, it's illegal. I can't believe he gets away with it like he does.

I know I'm one of the few who thinks this, but I do not watch Wlad and see a p4p fighter. I see someone who cheats to win in one of the worst divisions in boxing. At least when Kovalev fights the Peters, Byrds, and Povetkins of the LHW division, he dispatches them the way you expect a great fighter to.

I'm not sure he cheats to win but I know why you feel that way. I think he legit beat all those names I mentioned.

[HI-TECH Boxing]

Uchiyama, Yamanaka and Inoue should all be ahead of Crawford without a doubt.
