  • Terence Crawford carries a 32-0 record in his career so far.

    We take a look at five of the best pound for pound fighters in the boxing world at the moment.

    TERENCE CRAWFORD

    Crawford cleaned out the 140lbs division, unifying four major world titles before moving up to 147lbs. He battered Julius Indongo over three rounds, has looked exceptional in every fight and while he requires a career-defining win, his record of 32-0 speaks for itself.

    VASYL LOMACHENKO

    Based on skills, there is no better boxer in the world right now. The Ukrainian‘s footwork is unmatched but to be P4P, a bigger body of work is required. Rigondeaux was a huge scalp but the Cuban was stepping up two divisions and was the smaller man.

    GENNADY GOLOVKIN

    Many thought he beat Canelo Alvarez in September but the reality is it ended in a draw. He’s not quite looked like the rampaging middleweight of the last nine years and he needed a clear-cut win over a fellow P4P contender to secure top spot. That didn’t happen.

    MIKEY GARCIA

    Arguably the only man with the skills to match Lomachenko, Garcia has returned to the conversation after successfully moving up to 140lbs to dominate Adrien Broner. Garcia is at the peak of his powers and is open to fights from 135lbs to 147lbs.

    CANELO ALVAREZ

    He didn’t get beat by Triple G and, given most in the P4P debate haven’t fought another member of the top-five, it’s hard to ignore the Mexican. Canelo is one of the most complete fighters on the planet and can claim top spot if he overthrows Golovkin in a rematch.

    Canelo remains one of the most complete fighters.
