    This list just goes to show the sad state this sport is in. When some of these names are the best options that we have for P4P, it should be everything you need to know.

    You got something that you want to say

      1) Román González, flyweight
      It feels as if Román “Chocolatito” González’s pound-for-pound reign has been a tease, as he hasn’t had a rematch with Juan Francisco Estrada or faced Naoya Inoue since he replaced Floyd Mayweather on the throne a year ago. He hasn’t faced another flyweight fighter with pound-for-pound status but at least he took on the next best thing by moving up to junior bantamweight and conquering hard-hitting Carlos Cuadras. He showed vulnerability at the new weight, albeit against a terrific opponent, but still triumphed.

      2) Sergey Kovalev, light heavyweight
      When we last saw Sergey Kovalev, he struggled against Isaac Chilemba. When we next see Kovalev, it might be to decide the pound-for-pound king. Later this month Kovalev will face Andre Ward, a man a couple spots lower on this list. Regardless of whether you think it might be “boring” because of Ward, it’s one of the best match-ups in the sport.

      3) Terence Crawford, junior welterweight
      Terence Crawford’s win over Viktor Postol in July gave him his best win yet, cementing the impression that this kid might one day take over boxing. He’s now a two-division lineal champion. His next fight is a step down, against John Molina Jr., but he’s still a perfectly acceptable opponent.

      4) Andre Ward, light heavyweight
      Ward is still coasting on work he did years ago, but he will really earn this spot if he beats Kovalev on 19 November. Ward beat Alexander Brand in August in a fashion that, for two consecutive fights, raises doubts about whether he’s a real light heavy, and whether he might be getting old.

      5) Gennady Golovkin, middleweight

      Welterweight Kell Brook gave Golovkin his toughest fight in years, as an over-eager Golovkin got caught plenty by the skilled and fast-handed Brit. Once he settled down, it was the usual demolition job for Golovkin. Too bad a comparable fight against someone his own weight – Daniel Jacobs – has been pushed to 2017.

      6) Canelo Álvarez, middleweight
      So the 155lb middleweight king fought someone closer to his desired weight, junior middleweight Liam Smith, and looked spectacular. The bad news is that he broke a thumb and is out of commission for a while, pushing the long-desired Golvokin showdown back even further.

      7) Shinsuke Yamanaka, bantamweight
      The first time Shinsuke Yamanaka faced Anselmo Moreno, he was lucky to get away with the win. The second time, in September, he finished him off via knockout. So now he’s back in this list, deservedly. It’s unclear what he’ll do next and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him take some time off.

      8) Carl Frampton, featherweight

      In one of the better fights of 2016, Carl Frampton came out on top of Léo Santa Cruz in July. It was just what Frampton needed to shake off a couple so-so performances since demonstrating his pound-for-pound potential. We’ll be treated to a rematch in January.

      9) Timothy Bradley, welterweight
      Timothy Bradley is talking about retiring sooner rather than later. There’s been a bit of footsie around the notion of facing Miguel Cotto, which is a nice match even at 154, because Cotto isn’t the world’s biggest junior middleweight. But Bradley’s spot on this list is vulnerable to keep dropping as he’s not doing anything but talking.

      10) Vasyl Lomachenko, junior lightweight
      Remember how we were screwed out of one of the best fights that could be made in boxing, Vasyl Lomachenko v Nicholas Walters? Well, that fight is going happen on 26 November. Lomachenko climbed up to tenth on this list after dominant wins against good fighters but on Thanksgiving weekend we’ll see what he looks like against someone closer to great.

      11) Keith Thurman, welterweight
      Keith Thurman got the best win of his career in June against Sean Porter. He no longer looks like the knockout artist he once was hailed as, but he has become a solid all-round fighter. That makes him a bit less fun – although the Porter fight was pretty good – and gives him a better chance against Danny García next year, in another stellar fight.

      12) Juan Francisco Estrada, junior bantamweight
      Juan Francisco Estrada is chasing González, still, which is why he moved up in weight. He would also be happy to fight Naoya Inoue. He needs to be in a good fight for the first time in forever.

      13) Guillermo Rigondeaux, junior lightweight

      Every now and then Guillermo Rigondeaux pops his head up to say he wants some fight or the other, or someone says something about wanting to fight him. Then he faces James Dickens.

      14) Naoya Inoue, junior flyweight
      We’ve reached the big zone of fighters who haven’t done much lately, but have good resumes overall. Inoue is also talking about facing Gonzalez, a welcome bout.

      15) Adonis Stevenson, light heavyweight
      Here’s another one. Thomas Williams, Jr. gave Stevenson a real scrap in July. He’s set to go against another top 10 light heavyweight, fellow Canadian Eleider Álvarez, next year – but his whole championship reign has been lacklustre.

      16) Danny García, welterweight
      And another one. But, at least, like some of the others in this netherzone, Danny García is finally about to face someone worthy (see Thurman, above). First up is Samuel Vargas later this month.

      17) Nicholas Walters, junior lightweight
      It’s annoying that he turned down big money to tackle Lomachenko, originally, but all – or at least most – is forgiven now that we’re finally getting that slobberknocker.

      18) Kell Brook, welterweight
      A lot of what you have said about the fighters aren't facts, and Brook really!? Your order is ****ed up too.

            How is that a dumb post? It's the truth. Half of those names dont belong on any P4P list yet those are the best options we have. Sad times for boxing whether you like it or not.

            And would you like some baby powder for that butthurt? Idk wtf you're problem is but hope it gets resolved.

            Keep crying doe.
