Not so sure I agree. How can Canelo be in the top ten and Cotto not ? Even though I hate his catch weight bull ****. Other than that looks pretty solid although Klitty should be a little higher with his long and dominant reign.

Exactly.

Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez are NOT P4P material. I'm happy Andre Ward isn't #1. Rigondeaux is low. He should be right up there with Roman. And where is that skilled Ukraine who schooled Gary Russell Jr. Lomachenko! Remove Crawford from the list and replace him with Nicholas Walters.

P4P is not about resume.

Thats why Golovkin is ranked so highly.

I agree. But what's weird is how Canelo & Cotto are creeping into people's to 10 list only to give GGG legitimacy if he beats them. What has Canelo done since he beat Kirkland? He wasn't on the list after the fight. The only one not on the list is Floyd, so was Canelo #11 all this time? ESPN has Cotto & Canelo on their list. They're going to make sure whomever wins that fight will jump to top 5 just so GGG has a top 5 challenger.

and LOL at having Crawford and Canelo up there and not Cotto


good to see Estrada up there though


I'd also switch the Wlad and GGG spots.

Wouldn't be surprised at all.

He has the right 6 fighters atop the list IMO. The order of those 6 fighters can be endlessly debated. I strongly disagree with Golovkin being above Pac.

It's a huge cluster following those 6. You could go dozens of directions at those spots.

The best part is most of the top six are separated by multiple weight (assuming Ward is now at Light Heavy) classes mitigating the chance for most of them to fight for a mythical crown and focus on actual fights where they are. Sweet.
