In the case 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 parents 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 attention-grabbing studying. Whereas it’s a given the brand new prime 10 won’t be to everybody’s style, as no set of rankings can presumably please all people.
So, who sits on the prime 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 prime 10:
1: Oleksandr Usyk – heavyweight
2: Naoya Inoue – tremendous bantamweight
3: Terence Crawford tremendous welterweight
4: Artur Beterbiev – mild heavyweight
5: Dmitry Bivol – mild 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 doubtless most followers could have zero downside with the fairly unimaginable Usyk being the highest canine right here, though some followers might really feel Crawford deserves the highest spot, or possibly Inoue. It’s a really strong prime 3, that’s for certain. Ought to Haney, “crushed” by Ryan Garcia (the combat in fact modified to a no-contest, this after Garcia flunked a medicine check) be within the prime 10? That’s an attention-grabbing one, for certain.
All in all, Haney’s rating apart, maybe, it is a completely acceptable set of prime 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?
