Top Ten Pound-For-Pound

Here's my pound-for-pound list. I take into account ability and accomplishment. The previous list was posted on April 2, 2019.

1. Saul Alvarez (52-1-2, 35 KOs) [2]
2. Naoya Inoue (18-0, 16 KOs) [6]
3. Vasiliy Lomachenko (13-1, 10 KOs) [1]
4. Terence Crawford (35-0, 26 KOs) [4]
5. Gennady Golovkin (39-1-1, 35 KOs) [3]
6. Leo Santa Cruz (36-1-1, 19 KOs) [7]
7. Olexandr Usyk (16-0, 12 KOs) [8]
8. Errol Spence (25-0, 21 KOs) [9]
9. Mikey Garcia (38-1, 30 KOs) [10]
10. Olexandr Gvozdyk (17-0, 14 KOs) [Not ranked]

Exiting the list: Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (47-5-1, 41 KOs) [5]

1. Canelo has taken on the top opponents in his and around his weight division. No other fighter has had as much experience and as much success against the best. Canelo's win over one of the 3 best middleweights boosts his case for the number 1 spot.

2. Inoue destroyed an undefeated opponent in his last fight in a a weigh class he's only fought in three times. No one is running through the high level competition like Inoue.

3. Lomachenko fought weaker competition last fight. He won impressively, but he hasn't been fighting guys as tough as Canelo has and hasn't been knocking them out like Inoue.

4. Crawford has extreme talent, but doesn't have the resume to match. He needs to start fighting the top of the welterweight division.

5. He beat an over-matched opponent easily in June, but Golovkin's skills may have eroded a bit.

6. Would love to see Santa Cruz fight Gary Russell or Josh Warrington.

7. Usyk is moving up to heavyweight, but suffered an injury and his last fight was canceled.

8. Spence has the same issue as Crawford. He has a ton of talent, but his best wins are against an undersized Mikey Garcia, a faded Lamont Peterson, and Kell Brook.

9. I'd like to see him face Lomachenko although Commey would be a good fight too.

10. Gvozdyk does have a bit of a thin resume, but he is the lineal champ. I'd like to see him against the elites at light heavyweight: Bivol, Beterbiev, Kovalev, Alvarez, and/or Ramirez. A fight agaisnt Callum Smith would be interesting too. Let's get these light heavyweights int he ring against each other!

The winner of Josh Taylor-Regis Prograis for the World Boxing Super Series championship will almost certainly vault the winner into the top ten. Danny Roman and Rey Vargas at 122 need a signature win to receive more consideration. Tyson Fury could enter the list on the strength of his boxing skills if he can beat Wilder, Ruiz, and/or Joshua.
