As 2015 comes to an end who is the BEST fighter in each division?

[The Hammer]

HW: Fury
CW: Usyk, Drozd or Lebedev?
LHW: Kovalev
SMW: DeGale
MW: Golovkin
LMW: Cotto, Andrade or maybe one of the Charlos?
WW: Brook or Thurman?
LWW: Crawford or Postol?
LW: Flanagan
SFW: Uchiyama, Fortuna or Vargas?
FW: Lomachenko is the most talented, but his competition was poor in 2015

[Nubia]

JWW: Crawford
WW: Bradley (Garcia will take over soon)
JMW: Andrade
MW: Canelo
SMW: Ward
LHW: Stevenson
HW: Fury

[Nubia]

Ward is a light heavyweight. He fought once this year in that division.

He hasn't had a single fight at 168 in either 2014 or 2015, in over two years.

Yes, however we don't really know what his future holds. We don't know what weight his next fight will be at.

If he ultimately decides to come back to 168, he instantly becomes the best there again. He is the P4P #1 or #2 on most credible people's lists after all.

If he stays at LHW, he is not the best there (ranking wise) and will need to prove himself against the already established LHW's.

[D-MiZe]

HW: Tyson Fury
CW: Oleks Usyk
LHW: Sergey Kovalev
SMW: James DeGale
MW: Gennady Golovkin
LMW: Erislandy Lara
WW: Tim Bradley
LWW: Terence Crawford
LW: Rances Barthelemy
SFW: Uchiyama
FW: Vasyl Lomachenko

Edited out Pac for Bradley, forgot about him.

Ww-Pac since Floyd is retired
Jmw-Lara
Mw-canelo
Smw-Ward
Lhw-kovalev
Hw-Ortiz may not be the lineal champ yet but he's the best.

[Nubia]

How does that make him #1 at 168 and P4P #1 or #2?

Perhaps you could ask any of the reputable sources who have him on their top 3 P4P lists. Like Carl Froch, who has Ward as his #1 P4P fighter.

Froch: Andre Ward is P4P 1, Golovkin Not in My Top Ten

[Scipio2009]

List

HW: Wladimir Klitschko
CW: Grigory Drozd/Denis Lebedev
LHW: Adonis Stevenson
SMW: James Degale
MW: Gennady Golovkin
JMW: Erislandy Lara
WW: Kell Brook
SLW: Terrence Crawford
LW: Rances Barthelemy/Jorge Linares
SFW: Takashi Uchiyama
FW: Leo Santa Cruz
SBW: Carl Frampton/Guillermo Rigondeaux
BW: Jamie McDonnell

anything below that, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't matter all that much.

[Hype job]

JWW: Crawford
WW: Bradley (Garcia will take over soon)
JMW: Andrade
MW: Canelo
SMW: Ward
LHW: Stevenson
HW: Fury

Canelo above Golovkin?

[Nubia]

Canelo above Golovkin?

I don't see why not? Who has Golovkin beat? If he and Canelo fought and GGG won, Canelo would be the ONLY decent win on GGG's resume, would it not? GGG needs Canelo to be great, not the other way around.

[Real King Kong]

JWW: Crawford
WW: Bradley (Garcia will take over soon)
JMW: Andrade
MW: Canelo
SMW: Ward
LHW: Stevenson
HW: Fury

1 catchweight fight makees canelo the best mw?
