POUND FOR POUND
#1 GGG
#2 Lomachenko
#3 Keith Thurman
#4 Terrance Crawford
#5 Canelo Alvarez
Let's see what you all have for your top 5 P4P. The first two on my list are a given and I think that they will be 1 & 2 for the next few years so no surprises there. But I moved Keith Thurman way up on my list because I think that he needs to start getting some credit for what he's doing these days. He's leading the pack in quality title defenses and wants to make great fights. He made the DSG fight closer than it had to be but he clearly outclassed Garcia in my eyes and that's not easy to do.
Terrance Crawford shouldn't be a surprised after dispatching the #1 ranked contender Postol and knocking him down 658 times.
Lastly, I probably have Canelo ranked higher than most people at this point but I feel that he deserves to be up there. Yes, he ducked GGG and it's a bad look, but Canelo is in his prime and I don't see anyone but GGG beating him from 155-160. AND i'm not extremely confident that GGG would get it done against Canelo if GGG's last two fights are an indication of age causing the great to slip a bit. Canelo doesn't lose decisions, period. Floyd aside, no one will best Canelo on judges cards and I'm not sure if GGG can take him out of there.
Thoughts? Let's see your top P4P

Re: Current P4P Rankings
In no particular order right now:
GGG
Lomu
M Garcia
Gonzalez
Crawford
Garcia is a bit of a bias pick as he still has a bit to prove, but I think he's top 5 best in the world.
Notable exceptions who could be in there, Ward, Kovalev, Canelo, Rigondeaux. I have no problems anyone selecting these goes.
Thurmans doing a great job but he's a bit of p4p material. I credit him for taking good fights, but he doesn't convince me so much in them. I don't think he's at that level
