KO Magazine used letter grades for boxers to rate each category such as chin, reflexes, etc. Then, the boxer would get an overall letter grade.

I think it was okay. If you substitute letters for what they mean, what's the difference? A is superior, B is above average, C is average, D is below average, and F is failed.

The variables and discrepancies are far greater than can be encompassed like that. It's not a class of 30 with an answer key. If you wanted to rank the top 30 of any weight class you'd likely need more tiers than that based on accomplishment, much less the skillset compared to every fighter on earth. Trust me, I read them. Lol, I read them all. Charlie z & Reggie Strickland would both grade f when Reggie was at least 100,000 letters better.

Lomachenco lost for a reason, Joshua is very fast footed and got an awesome stamina, that's also what his latest opponent said, he's the real deal, still this fast and powerful, in the seventh round! And nobody ever made it further against AJ. AJ is clearly A class.

loma had a close fight with salido who came as a welterweight in the ring, disgrace. also p4p of todays list is more focused on how the boxer looks today and not years ago. today loma is the best. anthony is the best heavyweight, but slow and just a okay technician compared to the top p4p boxers.

Don't really know if there is a A+ category. I do agree however Lomachenko is probably the best overall rounded fighter in the game today. I would definitely put Thurman in the A category. Ward would be A but he's missing from your list.

he is missing for the reasons....well to be honest, i dont like him. but the main reason is, that he has a rematch clause in his contract and doesnt respect him and i have the feeling that he is retiring, so out of boxing. ward is a, definitly.
