          In terms of boxing ability only, how would you rank these 4 from best to worst?

          (in no particular order)
          Canelo
          Fury
          Loma
          Crawford


          Taking into account their accuracy, defense, movement, timing, adaptability, ring IQ, ring generalship, punch variety, layers to their game, etc..

          Explain your ranking.
          1. Terence Crawford
          He looks so fluid and smooth in the ring. I admit that whenever I shadowbox, I always throw my lead hand out high and feint the jab with it in honor of his technique. That hand can go from guard, to measuring tape, to pile-driver jab, all in one fluid, indivisible movement, setting up something even more devastating for the right as well. The best part is, he doesn’t have much of a set style like most boxers, even great boxers like Mayweather (counter-puncher) or Pacquiao (brawler) can get “stuck” in one style, but not Crawford. Crawford can out-slick someone one fight and out-brawl someone the next, or even change mid-fight if he has to, like he did vs. “MeanMachine”. He reminds me a lot of Sugar Ray Leonard. I may have to eat a slice of humble pie again like I did with the LomaLopez fight, but unlike Lomachenko, I don’t think Crawford will ever lose his zero. I think head to head, he beats Spence and Porter and also would have beat Mayweather and Pacquiao in their primes as well. Like one poster recently said about DeLaHoya, being good at everything, it’s the same with Crawford, except that he is GREAT at everything. As for durability, I mean, even a bullet to the head couldn’t stop this guy.

          2. Canelo Alvarez
          I think that as Canelo has matured and really come into his prime, he really has blossomed into an ATG (a lower-level ATG, but an ATG nonetheless). He has quite possibly the best ring generalship at this time in boxing, and his chin is probably the best of anyone currently fighting at any weight. I’ve never seen him hurt or even buzzed in a fight, and yet he took a bolt of lightning from Jacobs and two absolute bunker-busters from GGG, and shook them off. Incredible. His punch selection is great, and his defense is quite underrated as well.

          3. Tyson Fury
          He has heart on a sort of level few ever reach. He’s quite agile for someone so big, and he can fight defensively like a bigger, clumsier version of Mayweather, or bring the heat and knock you out as well.

          4. Vasyl Lomachenko
          He has probably the best amateur pedigree since SRR, and no matter what people say, that STILL means something. He hasn’t had the best pro career (2 losses in only 16 fights), and too often his detractors point this out. However, watch him in the ring and you’ll see one of the better technical boxers of our time. Those who mock this statement are most likely zero-worshippers, but he will always be one of the smartest fighters no matter how many times he loses. His great mistake was going too high in the weight classes. He is a tiny person and could have dominated if he stayed in his proper weight classes.

              They are all great. I think that Loma is the easiest to beat of the four, so has to go bottom. Fury and Crawford have similarities, but Fury has more of an around game and is harder to beat. Canelo is very skilled but was well beaten by Mayweather and let's be honest Golovkin 1, Lara could have been a draw. Whereas Fury rises to the toughest challenges.

              Fury
              Canelo
              Crawford
              Loma (easily)

                      That’s why he still has a question mark over his name, he hasn’t fought anyone worthy of his skills. You can look out of this world but if your not fighting competitive fights what does it matter.

                      Canelo is top of the bunch.
                      Loma is fighting bigger guys and still shines, despite his loss.
                      Fury looks sloppy at times but can do anything he feels like doing, against the best( he fights up, not down)
                      Crawford, could probably be the best of the bunch but needs to prove it.
