    He's number 9 or 10 in my list right now. I will write his name on top of the list in the near future. Im sure that. Everyones list may be different so, this debate has no end.

    1-Manny Pacquiao
    2-Roman Gonzalez
    3-Andre Ward & Sergey Kovalev
    4-Dr Steelhammer
    5-Terence Crawford
    6-Gennady Golovkin
    7-Saul Alvarez
    8-Guillermo Rigondeaux
    9-Vasyl Lomachenko
    10-Keith Thurman & Danny Garcia

      An addendum to my previous post, some would argue that Pacman or GGG should be in the top 5 instead but I think that Pac didn't look especially great against Vargas and GGG's performance against Brook was also less than spectacular. To me they are top 10 but not top 5.
      I almost don't want to bother ranking Pac at this point. We know what he's done, we never know what he'll look like next time he fights, and he's not really fighting to prove anything anymore. He's just a given great fighter and I'll give the spots to other fighters trying to prove it.

      GGG is great, but his competition doesn't come close to Gonzalez, Kovalev, Ward, Crawford, or Lomachenko. No way he should be above any of them.

        Frampton nope.

        Kova just got shut out 6rd straight.

        Ggg-king of the bum of the month.

        Loma easly better, more skilled and arguably already more proven at only 9 fights.
        Easily better and more skilled? Hmmmmm not so sure...Frampton has called his name...

              He's in the top 10 but not the top 5 for me. Not just yet.

              And I agree, I'd love to see a Salido rematch next.

                  The only person I would put ahead of him right now is Chocolatito. Crawford, GGG and a toss up to round it out (Ward, Kovalev, Canelo and maybe Pac are interchangeable, depending on how I feel that day).

                    Loma is such an anomaly it is hard to place him within the framework of P4P. Consider that Loma's weakest opponents have still been levels above the majority of your typical P4P fighter's first 20-30 fights (ie Canelo, even Crawford and GGG).

                    Pound for pound means pound for pound - not Canelo gets gifted a position because he lacked an amateur background and gets a pass for fighting nobodies and washed up names for his first 30-40 fights. It isn't docking Loma for having an incredible amateur career and being held to god-like expectations (that he has and will likely continue to deliver on). It isn't overlooking the inactivity of Rigo and Ward prior to the Kovalev fight. Ward's super six run gives him credibility as an ATG, but it wanes in the face of a current, who's-who P4P list of today. With those random thoughts in mind, Chocolatito is the only guy clearly above Loma.

                      "Kova just got shut out 6rd straight."

                      LOL he got straight robbed. Frampton is a great fighter, one of few to move up in wieght, chellenge for a belt and win all in his first fight at that weight.

                      GGG is not fighting pure bums. GGG has a great skill set for a boxer
