Top 5 current favourite boxers

[TIC]

Inoue
Bivol
Usyk
Haney
Josh Kelly - not in the class of the others , but just like watching him fight.

Mine are still pretty much there, unfortunately Josh Kelly has to give way for Jai Opetaia. (Not sure why Bud isn’t on the list?)

does bud squeeze in? shout out for having jai on there. i've got big bro justis slightly ahead of jai at the moment on my favourites, the gap is closing quickly though

[Primo Carnera]

Inoue
Bivol

The thing with Jai isn’t just about his talent , it’s outside the ring as well.
Every interview shows he’s just a straight up guy chasing greatness. When he’s asked about champions in his division, he doesn’t slag them off, he says they’re great fighters , but he believes he’s better.
And he’s stood next to Eddie , who is typically saying “we’ll make him millions, fighting in Saudi, U.K., US, and he just turns around and says “that’s not what I want. I want to give back to Australia. I want to showcase my talents there and be a great for them. It’s not about the money.”
When asked about the IBF Stripping him , he just says “fucking leave me alone man, just let me fight.”
Fucking love his spirit!

[Big J]

These would be mine:
Regis Prograis
Naoya Inoue
Stephen Fulton
Frank Martin
David Nyika

Bit of a shake up from last year
Naoya Inoue
Luis Alberto Lopez
David Morrell
Subriel Matías
Artur Beterbiev

Bam Rodriguez is right there

Bit of an Inoue fan club going on here

[Spicoli]

Mine have really shaken up. The old mantra of "need/will" see them fight live has changed up a bit too. Aside from some spotty fight night streams the direct same time exposer is yet another ppv/app fee.

But Inoue is still there. Just have to wake up at 4am to tune in
David Benavidez
Bam Rodriquez
Usyk
Tim Tszyu
Subriel Matias
Junto Nakatani
Fernando Daniel Martinez
Bud Crawford
Leigh Wood
That's over five

[Spicoli]

canelo, tank, shakur, king ry, camaron zepeda

my top five still seems okay

canelo, tank, shakur, camaron zepeda & elijah garcia enters

Good call Garcia. Mere 20 yrs old and must see tv. One up there on the excitement meter each out. No idea if he burns like a candle at both ends or helps put 160 back on the championship map, but he's a very promising one-man wrecking crew.

[Ivan Zhelezo]

Albert Batyrgaziev
Artur Beterbiev
Radzhab Butaev
Vladimir Shishkin
Imam Khataev

pbc had him as their prospect of the year

[Alpha]

Heading into 2022 it looks like this:

Oleksandr Usyk.
Brian Castano.
Naoya Inoue.
Roman Gonzalez.
Juan Francisco Estrada.
Josh Taylor.

Since I gave 6 for some reason last year, I'll give 6 for this year. Heading into 2023 it looks like this:

Usyk.
Inoue.
Roman Gonzalez.
Juan Francisco Estrada.
Radzhab Butaev.
Subriel Matías.

Castano has slipped outside my top 5 until I see where he is when he returns.

Taylor has a chance to put on a better performance in the rematch with Catterall.

2023 could be the last year for both Usyk and Gonzalez.

Top 6 again

Usyk.
Inoue.
Roman Gonzalez.
Radzhab Butaev.
Subriel Matías.
Junto Nakatani.
