Who ? Why ?

Canelo. Proof of work.

It's Canelo and it's not close. He's on a hell of a streak, historically impressive. I think I'll enjoy it when he gets defeated but he's the most dominating fighter since Mayweather.

the others is easily the best boxer. thousands of dudes combined into 1

Since the title is "Best Boxer" it's still Loma for me. Best boxing skills of the list.
Canelo is the highest achieving by a country mile, but Loma bests him in footwork, punch selection, movement and defence. Unfortunately father time has caught up with him, but still has the best skills- now delivered a little bit slower.

I voted for Lomachenko. As many have pointed out he had a bum shoulder against Teo Lopez. When he kicked it into high gear I think it was around round seven, he dominated Teo. His movements his foot work, his punching power, his shifting side to side, switching directions, punch choice, he’s definitely the smartest and skilled best pound for pound.

sux that crawford's career has stagnated so badly, would've loved to see him vs the elite guys, i think he's been fantastic and might have been the best, but a guy will never really get the credibility until he proves it vs top comp and he's already on the verge of getting up there in years

If In 2017 you asked in 2021 who will be the best boxer in the world?” How would the answers of gone? Mabey 20% canelo, 20% Crawford, 20% loma, 10%usyk, 10% aj, 10% inoue, 10% Spence...
something like that.

Amazing how 4 years later one of those guys stocks have gone up massively (canelo), most have gone down dramatically, either from a loss (ah and loma), or more commonly just going stagnant (the rest).
