Ring Generalship

[Hands_of_Marcos]

Which boxers of today possess the best ring generalship?

I’ve got:

1. Terence Crawford
2. Vasyl Lomachenko
3. Errol Spence, Jr.
4. Canelo Alvarez
5. Oleksandr Usyk

I agree with all of them except for Canelo. Canelo's lack of elite ring generalship is the reason why scorecards for his fights are all over the place for most of his fights.

I'd swap Canelo with GGG (it's the reason why people argue that he won despite landing 10-20% of his punches in both fights!) and would shoehorn Fury in there at #2 (it's the reason why he won so many rounds against an ATG ring general in Wladimir Klit and Deontay couldn't take rounds off of him unless he landed a big shot on him).

People cried that ggg had ring generalship in the first fight then canelo pushed his ass back all right in fight two. Stop it. If anything, that proves that canelo has greater ring generalship then ggg because he had ggg chasing him around in fight one then pushed him back in fight two. Canelo fought his fight in both fights... to me that’s proof that canelo has greater ring generalship than ggg.
