Hard to say for some divisions, particularly SMW, FW, LHW, WW, and LMW where no one sticks out really.

HW: Joshua
CW: Usyk
LHW: Beterbiev
SMW: Groves (as of now)
MW: Golovkin
LMW: Andrade

LWW: Crawford
LW: Mikey
SFW: Lomachenko
FW: Valdez
SBW: Rigondeaux
BW: Yamanaka
SFW: Inoue
FW: Selby
LFW: Tanaka
MW: Meyothin

I think Nietes is getting old. Santa Cruz has the best resume at FW, but man, Valdez is really good. Santa Cruz/Valdez would be a beast of a fight.

Gvozdyk looks really great, but people forget how much of a beast Beterbiev is. I've not been impressed by Eubank Jr., Verdejo, or Lara.

Joshua
Usyk
Ward
Benavidez
Golovkin
Lara (god knows)
Spence
Crawford
M Garcia
Lomachenko
Frampton
Rigondeaux
Yamanaka
Inoue
Higa (god knows)
Tanaka

I'd have Ward at LHW, Lara at LMW, and I'd go with a few guys before Selby at flyweight. IMO Selby has been a bit overrated; a lot of slappy, powerless stuff from him, and for such a lauded boxer he can be rather sloppy at times. I have a feeling that he won't cut it against the best guys.

I think I'd also edge Santa Cruz over the other guys at 126.

Hmm good point about Lara forgot about him. I rate Andrew Selby though I expect him to go on to big things

He still fights like an amateur to me, and he doesn't really stand out as being the super skilled guy he's made out to be. I get the impression that he's largely overwhelming lower-tier guys with speed, and I see flaws that I think the best in the division can exploit. I also think he'll struggle to get respect at top level with his tapping shots...

A lot of people seem to rate him higher than Lee, but I think the elder Selby is a smoother boxer and better puncher.

I think he is better than Lee, but until its proven it doesn't mean much. We will see how he goes

Why do you think he's better?
