1. Naoya Inoue

Naoya Inoue is the current day Sugar Ray Robinson. Inoue is a true #1 P4P Boxer similar to how Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward, and Roy Jones were in their prime.

2. Errol Spence Jr.

The Jury is still out on Errol Spence Jr., Spence’s Win over a prime Kell Brook put Him on the list, but in many ways Spence is still untested.

3. Manny Pacquiao

The Ageless Manny Pacquiao remains in the #3 spot after another sensational win. This time Keith Thurman was the victim. Boxing Action Magazine received many complaints for having Pacquiao rated so high. With the victory over Thurman, it seems the dust has settled.

4. Gennady Golovkin

Gennady Golovkin time as a top dog is running out.  Currently he is still one of the best boxers in this generation. As he gets older, he continues to eat more leather.

5. Mickey Garcia

Mickey Garcia is getting to the point of, “show me something”. Garcia remains highly rated, but needs to get a bit more active. Passing on fighting Danny Garcia at 147 pounds and thinking about fighting at the junior welterweight level might be the smartest thing Mickey Garcia‘s team can do for him.

6. Vasyl Lomachenko

The boxing world is buying whatever Vasyl Lomachenko is selling. A marvelous talent no doubt. The top P4P greats such as Pacquiao, Jones, Whitaker & Leonard all moved up in weight and fought bigger men to prove they were number one. I get the feeling that if Lomachenko moved up to 140 pounds and fought guys like Hooker and Ramirez he would get destroyed within three rounds. Top Rank is doing a great job protecting him.

7. Canelo Álvarez

Outside of getting the most emails and complaints about the low ranking of Crawford and Uysk, Canelo Álvarez is the Boxer many feel should be ranked higher. It is very crowded at the top, but the Canelo fans have a strong case for Canelo being ranked as high as #2. Currently, Canelo is at his peak and clearly the #1 boxing draw, it will be interesting to see how long his prime will last as his body style is very injury prone.

8. Roman Gonzalez

Roman Gonzalez is one of those special fighters that come along as rare as the late Great Pernell Whitaker and Mike Tyson, Gonzalez gets the benefit of the doubt, buys needs to get more active.

9. Leo Santa Cruz

Leo Santa Cruz’s career has been nothing short of spectacular. Cruz avenged his single loss in dominant fashion, taking his opponent to school. Leo Santa Cruz might never Rank as a top 50 all time boxer, but he is great.

10. Tyson Fury 

Tyson Fury’s story and history is one of the most unique in all of sports. He might have the oddest looking top P4P body ever. I guess it’s true what they say, “ don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Other Notes:

Luis Nery’s Last performance raised a red flag, is he another hype job like  previously undefeated champion Isaac Dogboe?

Gervonta Davis makes a huge leap to #20 on the list. Lots of positives with Davis fighting in his hometown of Baltimore. Most importantly Davis May have added the final ingredient to taking the boxing world by storm- Maturity.

Jose Ramirez Became a star in Dallas when he simply dominated the best 140 pounder on earth. Boxing Action Magazine was the first to have Ramirez ranked in the top 30 and last weeks performance now has him at #11. His side to side movement, power, strong chin, team and most importantly conditioning make him the top dog at 140. Mikey Garcia would have had a hard time with Ramirez last week if they fought.  Oh and by the way don’t expect Ramirez to trash talk like that other 140 pounder in the WBSS. 

Boxing Action Magazine didn’t by the hype of Keith Thurman two years ago when  everybody and their mother had him ranked number 1 pound for pound. Thurman stays in the #25 spot, nicely positioned to move up. He showed the true colors of a champion during and after the Pacquiao Fight.

Hooker- how can you help but not feel bad for this young man who went into the Ramirez fight in his hometown in tip-Top shape – ready for Stardom.

Hooker failed himself, and his entire team failed Hooker.  Understand, when you have an entire team surrounding you, when you are paying a ton of guys to help you,  your team owes you a sit down  -A Sit down to talk about the crowd, talk about the hometown fight, the team needs to use their  experience – they have to explain the situation to Hooker. Seems that Hooker doesn’t have one smart/ experienced member to help him. Hooker went into the fight more concerned with the crowd (and showing of how good he was) then with Jose Ramirez. He paid the price of getting Knocked Out.
