Crawford's age is 27, not 32. I'm surprised to see Rigo so high.

[Luiz]

Terrence Crawford Age:32 ?

[daggum]

what the hell kinda list is this?

Gonzalez at number 2 over someone like wlad?

Pacquiao below kovalev?

I don't mind Kov in the top 5....but how is Rigo still so high?

How is Crawford number 10 over Canelo?

What's the criteria for this list?

they have both been on win streaks for about the same length of time, gonzalez has the much better resume across 3 divisions and doesn't cheat nonstop in his fights. sounds like he deserves to be above wlad.

What is with people and Wlad? Neither his competition or skillset are p4p at all. Only reason he could be on the list at all is because there's a lack of clear candidates past 6 or 7. Did people see how bad he looked when he wasn't allowed to cheat as much as he wanted against Bryant Jennings? Did they see how bad he looked when he cheated as much as you'll ever see against Povetkin?

He is usually fighting the best in his division though. Although it's an unbearable chore to sit through one of his fights, he is pretty consistent. IDK where I would put him on a P4P if I made my own, but he seems like a respectable candidate.

#3 Kovalev
#5 Golovkin

These two are really climbing in almost all of the lists now.

unfortunately ward will be put back in after he bores his way to a 12 round decision over paul smzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Loque-san]

Good points: no Pacquiao or Wlad number 2 or 3 and no Froch in top 10.

[BrometheusBob.]

1) Mayweather
2) Klitschko
3) Gonzalez
4) Golovkin
5) Pacquiao
6) Kovalev
7) Rigondeaux
8) Canelo
9) Crawford
10) Thurman/Brook

Runners up/up comers - Estrada, Shinsuke Yamanaka, Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Lomachenko, Tim Bradley etc

The top 7 I feel pretty strongly about, after that I didn't have specific people in mind but tried to be objective about the overall quality of resume with a heavier weight on fights of last couple years.

he's fcking garbage. hot garbage. he cheats nonstop in basically every fight. no respectable person would put him on a 'whos best' list of boxing simply because he doesn't box. well i guess you could say he boxes but his opponent isn't allowed to since they are being hugged for the majority of the fight and whenever they want to initiate the action

[MrTambourineMan]

1. Floyd TBE
2. Klitschko Domination
3. Rigo untouchable
4. Danny lineal, undisputed since 2012
5. Kovalev 3 belts in that weight
6. Estrada cleaned out that division
7. Loma Skills beyond words
8. Crawford handily beaten good fighters
9. Chocolatito
10. Andy Lee fights the best at 160, fights all the monsters, not some 6 ko boxcino champ
