    I think Gonzalez is the best fighter in the world, so definitely whenever he fights, that title is at stake for me. But if you disagree with that I think Canelo - Golovkin and Ward - Kovalev, reasonably, are in the discussion as well imo.

      I think it would have to be Ward vs Kovalev. Both guys are already arguably in the top 10, Ward is widely regarded as somewhere in the top 3. Regardless of how it ends, I think you would have to call the winner the #1 guy.

      Lomachenko-Rigo would be close but honestly I don't think either fighter has established himself in the pros to the point where a win over the other puts them at #1.

        I think it'd have to be between Ward/Kov and Gonzalez/Estrada fights with Gonzalez and Ward being the front runners to take the top spot clearly.

        Loma is not nearly worthy of being a top P4P guy yet. He's beaten Gary Russell. That's it.

        Ward beating Kov just puts him back to where we know he more or less belongs without the inactivity. Gonzalez beating Estrada again just shows how good he is and proves he's certainly worthy of being the top guy, as Estrada himself has beaten top fighter after fighter over the last few years and is a true beast himself.

            Kovalev vs Ward is the highest quality match-up listed

              None of them. Pound for pound is based on personal opinion and can never be proven and you will never get everybody to agree on one boxer. Not everybody thought Mayweather was number 1. Most thought he was but many did not. The idea of Bradley or Fury or Wilder being number 1 in the world pfp seems ridiculous to me. Ward vs Kovalev and Canelo vs GGG might produce a pfp champion I could accept depending on how they won. I really don't think Wilder or Fury are even in the top 40 pfp,especially Wilder who has only defeated one top ten heavyweight in his entire career. Fury beat Wlad so that's a great win but somehow I am still not impressed with him. Wlad just fought a terrible fight. My top pfp guys are in no order, Ward, GGG, Kovalev, and Gonzalez. Ward needs to beat somebody good soon. He is rated high only because he did so well in the past. Right now Gonzalez is destroying good fighters regularly. He might be the best of all pound for pound. But that's just my opinion and no more or less accurate than anybody else's opinion.

                its hard to say for many reasons..

                for example:
                - how did they win? decisively, impressive UD? out classed? stoppage? controversial? robbery?

                - did one have a stylistic advantage over the other? other names on the victor's resume?

                  IMO Canelo/GGG, Ward/Kov and Rigo/Loma are the best examples of P4P supremacy. Arguably all 6 of them are in P4P rankings (or damn close to it).

                  Both Fury and Wilder are unproven and there's a chance that either loses to Povetkin afterwards. Gonz/Estrada already happened. Rematches shouldn't qualify. Same for Pac/Bradley.

                    Ward-Kovalev or Gonzalez-Estrada.

                    Rigo-Loma or Canelo-GGG at a stretch, depending on the manner of victory.

                    The other two, just no.
