POUND FOR POUND

My Top Ten of All Time

  1. 1
    Sugar Ray Robinson 175-19-6 • 109 KOs Reason: Complete all-around dominance and era-spanning excellence.
    ♕
  2. 2
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. 50-0-0 • 24 KOs Reason: His style was so technical and supreme. Although he was only orthodox, he perfected the philly shell and fought a LOT of hall of famers and the MOST world champions and won against all of them. Non-boxers dont like his style but I see his style as the best since it's the epidamy of the hitting and not getting hit. Dosent rely too much on reflexes like RJJ's and can last you a long time in the ring.
  3. 3
    Oleksandr Usyk 23-0-0 • 14 KOs Never seen a figher fight in his opponent's backyard and win that many times, let alone 2 undisputed titles and only trying to fight against the big dogs. His style is beautiful, like Lomo, but he has his own twist to it. He also demolished the Heavyweight category with fighting twice just to prove a point. And his opponents were 30+ lbns heavier than him. Truly a P4P great
  4. 4
    Terence Crawford 42-0-0 • 31 KOs The Master of the Switch Hitting. 3 UNDISPUTED titles, moved 2 weight classes to get his 3rd against One of the greats of this generation, Canelo, and he is such a beautiful boxer to watch
  5. 5
    Manny Pacquiao 62-8-3 • 39 KOs 8 Division World champion. Fought anybody he could. Tried to be greater than he already was by competing at an older age professionally. His style was ugly but super entertaining. His achievements are the best, no one can get 8 DIv anymore. But I think skill wise, he isn't that spectacular compared to the others above him
  6. 6
    Naoya Inoue 32-0-0 • 27 KOs Defended his UNDISPUTED titles 4 times in one year, in an era that fighters aren't willing to have more than 2 fights for title defenses. No one in the current day has done this, 4 belt or 3 belt era. Undisputed in 2 weight classes and has a title in 4 weight classes. Amazing skills, Dominates in 99% of his fights.
  7. 7
    Joe Louis 66-3-0 • 52 KOs Dude defended the heavyweight title for 12 years. Holds the record for most title defenses. Caveat is he only did it in one weight class
  8. 8
    Muhammad Ali 56-5-0 • 37 KOs GOAT of his time. But his greatness is more in his charisma and impact on culture.
  9. 9
    Roberto Duran 103-16-0 • 70 KOs Love his fighting style. Very eccentric. A P4P legend that went where no one else would want. particularly in his fights against Sugar Ray Robinson and Tommy Hearns. Part of the 4 kings. Fought in 5 decades.
  10. 10
    Roy Jones Jr. 66-10-0 • 47 KOs Can't be touched, can't be hit... Went from middleweight to heavyweight (won titles in all). Just talented asf.
