Not sure even Robert Garcia would have Mikey that high.

[thecomedian2]

Lomachenko has only been beaten by Salido, and Canelo by Floyd, What the hell has Lomachenko done in pro boxing to justify his spot above Canelo?

[Boxing Hero]

This list is a JOKE!!!

Mikey García above Canelo and Usyk? Gtfo

Canelo has no good wins. Among elite fighters he beat only old Cotto.

Canelo lost to GGG two times , phuck the official scorecards.

Canelo couldn't beat Lara.

Canelo won Trout but it was very close.

By the way, Canelo is a cheater, dirty.

-Rigondeaux (P4P but smaller)
-Gary Russell Jr. - Top 3 fighter @ 126 and as of right now, probably borderline P4P.
-Walters (borderline P4P) - Top 2 fighter @ 126, Top 5 fighter @ 130. Never had a close fight and got robbed of a dominant victory over Sosa. Only person to EVER stop Donaire.
-Linares (world champ) - Top 3 fighter @ 135
-Sosa (world champ) - weakest link, still a world champion and was able to pull off a KO against Fortuna.
-Roman Martinez (world champ) - Completely schooled and dominated. Same guy that dropped Mikey.


Canelo:
Controversial/close win against Lara.
Controversial fights against Golovkin.
Win over Trout. Good win, close fight.
Win over Cotto, who didn't do much his last 5 years besides beat a broken Sergio Martinez. Lost to Trout, Floyd, Canelo, and then ended his career with a defeat to Sadam Ali...



There is definitely room to make an argument here. Just because a fighter is higher than another one doesn't mean it's not close. For what it's worth, I have: Crawford, Loma, Usyk, Canelo, and then Mikey--- and it's close between them all. Even then, this is only under the assumption I believe he won the last GGG fight (and I don't know, I didn't score it, I personally felt after watching it is was a close fight for sure, however. Would have been fine with a draw).

Crawford number 1 and Mikey Garcia number 3 Lol, I stopped reading after that.

This article is clearly biased. I feel someone was paid off to write this list the way they did.

I am particularly interested in the criteria for this list.
Seems su****ious.

Unlike Canelo, Lomachenko has beaten his opponents convincingly.

All Canelo wins against good opposition are controversal. Against Lara and GGG. Cotto was old. Trout fight was very close.

[Laszlo]

Apparently, your resume means nothing. It's all about that "0".

This list also ignores a lot of key factors.

It's as though some American just wrote a list of fighters he likes
then claimed they are the best.

[alexnation]

Mikey Garcia over Canelo? please quit your job

[Laszlo]

My god that is a bad p4p list.

And these guys are boxing writers?

The sport itself seems to have a lot of corruption.
I can only imagine what goes on behind the scenes
between promoters and "journalists"
