In terms of boxing rankings, who do you go by and whom do you belief? Possibly the Ring Journal rankings are those for you. Proper now, the oldsters at “The Bible of Boxing” have put out their new pound-for-pound rankings, their new top-10. And, as is the case with any set of boxing rankings, these make for fascinating studying. Whereas it’s a given the brand new high 10 is not going to be to everybody’s style, as no set of rankings can probably please all people.
So, who sits on the high of the pile so far as the legendary pound-for-pound rankings go, a minimum of within the opinion of the Ring Journal contributors?
Right here’s the brand new high 10:
1: Oleksandr Usyk – heavyweight
2: Naoya Inoue – tremendous bantamweight
3: Terence Crawford tremendous welterweight
4: Artur Beterbiev – gentle heavyweight
5: Dmitry Bivol – gentle heavyweight
6: Canelo Alvarez – tremendous middleweight
7: Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez – tremendous flyweight
8: Gervonta “Tank” Davis – light-weight
9: Junto Nakatani – bantamweight
10: Devin Haney – tremendous light-weight.
It’s possible most followers could have zero downside with the fairly unimaginable Usyk being the highest canine right here, though some followers could really feel Crawford deserves the highest spot, or perhaps Inoue. It’s a really strong high 3, that’s for positive. Ought to Haney, “overwhelmed” by Ryan Garcia (the battle in fact modified to a no-contest, this after Garcia flunked a medicine check) be within the high 10? That’s an fascinating one, for positive.
All in all, Haney’s rating apart, maybe, it is a completely acceptable set of high 10 pound-for-pound rankings from Ring. Agree or disagree? And what adjustments would you make if there are any adjustments to be made, in your opinion?
