I know you did this list before today's fights in Japan, but I would probably slot Roman Gonzalez in at about 5 or 6 right now.

He's got to be pretty high up, yes.

[Impractical Poster]

Not a bad list, Horse.

I'd say 2 or 3.

1. rigondeaux
2. golovkin
3. lara
4. mayweather
5. ward
6. pacquiao
7. gonzales
8. kovalev
9. stevenson
10. alvarez


now before I get battered let me explain my point =)

I rate what i feel NOW, not how good and great a boxer was 2 years ago, but I make my list based on who is the best NOW.

rigondeaux is not only physicly but technicly the best boxer in the world. his footwork, his jab, the why he moves, even his power is world class, he is #1. mayweather the #1 before rigo lost footwork, lost some speed and 2 MD's in 2 rescent fights doesnt sound great to me, although his opponents were top dogs. but rigo going thru an ex world champion in agbeko not even losing 1 single round and koing a dude with 63 wins in only 1 round is just super impressiv, but I raste more on body, movemant, speed, power and technic and there rigo is my obvious #1.

when it comes down to extrem power and looking super impressiv, yet with good footwork and simply looking prime time, thats why I got GGG so high, in my eyes, nobody except ward stands a chance against him. even a dyhadrated version of him at 154 who probably tko floyd right now. if maidana posed floyd problems than wait for GGG.

same goes for lara. lara in the canelo fight beat himself, lara is stupid, but if he gets he act together and punches more, than only 1 guy would beat him at 154 and thats a dyhardted version of GGG. but lara beating canelo in the first 5 round way more impressiv than floyd did and simply making him miss everytime and looking more athletic and stronger than floyd, puts him ahead of floyd.

well, the rest needs no story, yall know why.

Couldn't argue with that.

I know I’m going to get heavily-criticised here, but why is Andre Ward still rated so highly when he hasn’t fought against a top five rated super-middleweight since 2011? There are no plans for him to fight in the short-term.

What happens if Marcos Maidana somehow shocks the world by scoring an upset over Floyd Mayweather Jr.? Does Andre Ward get automatically elevated to the number one spot, even though he’s inactive and only intent on fighting Dan Goossen nowadays?

Perhaps I’m being unreasonable…

Ward should start dropping soon.

If Maidana beats Mayweather then maybe Maidana's No. 1.

[Horse]

Couldn't argue with that.

No, having Gonzalez up that high is pretty reasonable.

There aren't that many strong contenders for the top P4P spots at the moment.
