No. While I agree that Mayweather, Pacquiao, Ward, Marquez, Rigondeux, Bradley and Froch deserves their inclusion in the top ten, I don't agree that Roman Gonzales should immediately crack the top 10 and be rated that high only after a fight at flyweight inasmuch as the fighter he beat Akira Yaegashi was not even in the periphery of the list for all his past exploits. I also don't agree in the re-insertion of MIguel Cotto and the continued inclusion of Wldimir Klitschko who I kept on saying is the very paradox to the idea of pound for pound listing due to his sheer reliance on size advantage to beat his foes for decades now..
If historical record is one of the major bases used in re-insertion of Cotto, the more same could be used to justify the re-insertion of Bernard Hopkins in the top ten in his place. Canelo Alvarez also ought to be included in the elite list given the fact that his only loss was to the top rated Floyd Mayweather Jr. Golovkin also deserves to be there replacing the eternal odd-man Klitschko.
I also question the inclusion of Naoya Inoue at number 25. Filipino Donnie Nietes who is his 7th continuous year as world titlist in two weight classes and has fought and beaten named and highly touted foes deserves that slot more than Inoue.
I don't have anything against the inclusion of Takashi Uchiyama but where are the undefeated Kameda brothers, Daiki and Tomoki?
I also think Nonito Donaire should be rated below top 12. As of now, he should probably be just at #14 or #15 in my estimation. If he beats Walters convincingly, I am for his re-inclusion in the top 10 though.
I'd rank Rigoendaux a bit higher, lower down Tim Bradley, Carl Froch, and Nonito Donaire. Raise up Adonis Stevenson. There would be a lot I'd change, but it isn't a bad list. They didn't rank overhyped fighters in the top 10, which is good.
As long as they put that annoying cherry picker as number 1, No.
Ward needs to get off
How is Danny "fraud" Garcia above canelo? Canelo resume and record is better.
