I’m not going in order, but let’s take a look at the World Rankings and explore ten of the boxers who are currently regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighters today. I would love to hear your opinion on them.
First, we have Oleksandr Usyk, the 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist and the reigning IBF, WBA, WBO, and IBO Heavyweight champion. Usyk boasts an impressive record of 21 wins, all of which include 14 stoppages. Hailing from Simferopol, Crimea, Ukraine, and Oxnard, CA, Usyk is scheduled to face off against the WBC champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, who holds a record of 34 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw, with 24 stoppages. This unification fight is set to take place on May 18th at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Next up, we have Dmitriy Bivol, the current WBA and IBO Light Heavyweight champion. Bivol, with a record of 22 wins and 11 stoppages, represents Tokmak, Kyrgyzstan, and Indio, CA. He is eyeing a unification bout with another top-ten contender, Artur Beterbiev. Beterbiev, an Olympian from 2012, holds the WBC, WBO, and IBF titles and boasts a perfect record of 20 wins, all of which ended in stoppages. He hails from Khasavyurt, Russia, and Montreal, Canada.
Moving on, we have Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, the current WBA, WBC, and WBO Super Middleweight champion. Alvarez, who hails from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, has an impressive record of 60 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, with 39 stoppages. He is always a formidable opponent due to the financial success he brings to the table.
Two other notable contenders are David “The Monster Bandera Roja” and Jaime Munguia. David, the WBC Interim champion, has a record of 28 wins, all of which include 24 stoppages. He represents Las Vegas, NV. Jaime, on the other hand, holds the WBC Silver title and has an undefeated record of 43 wins, with 34 stoppages. He hails from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Terence “Bud” Crawford is the current WBA, WBC, and WBO champion in the Super Lightweight division. Crawford, with an impeccable record of 40 wins and 31 stoppages, is from Omaha, NEB. He is rumored to be facing former IBF champion Errol “The Truth” Spence, Jr. in a rematch, or he might even consider moving up in weight.
Jaron “Boots” Ennis, the reigning IBF Welterweight champion, is one of the most avoided fighters in his division. Ennis, with a record of 31 wins and 28 stoppages, represents Philadelphia, PA. He is still searching for a worthy opponent to accept a fight with him, especially now that he has transitioned from interim to world champion.
Devin “The Dream” Haney, the current WBC Super Lightweight champion, boasts a record of 31 wins, with 15 stoppages. Haney hails from Las Vegas, NV, and is scheduled to face Ryan “King Ry” Garcia, who holds a record of 24 wins, 1 loss, and 20 stoppages. This fight is set to take place on April 20th in Las Vegas, NV.
Gervonta “Tank” Davis, the WBA Lightweight champion, has an impressive record of 29 wins, all of which include 27 stoppages. Davis represents Baltimore, MD.
Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarette, the reigning WBO Super Featherweight champion, boasts a record of 38 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, with 31 stoppages. Navarette hails from San Juan Zitlaltepec, Distrito Federal, Mexico.
Lastly, Naoya “Monster” Inoue, the current WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF Super Bantamweight champion, is considering a move up to the Super Featherweight division to capture another title. Inoue, with a record of 26 wins and 23 stoppages, represents Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
So, these are the top ten fighters being considered for the pound-for-pound best fighter today in this group. However, if you have any other contenders you believe should be added to this list, please feel free to mention them.
