Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has been and most likely always will be known as the best Mexican boxer in the world. At the age of 28, he has managed to achieve so much and only losing one fight to one of the best fighters in the world: Floyd Mayweather back in 2013! Being involved in 55 fights and winning all bar 3 is very impressive. Boxrec have scored him a 5-star fighter as well. One of the best Mexican fighters in the world and most likely will be remember as the face of Middleweight boxing. Currently holding the WBA, WBC and IBF middleweight championships and will be going for more. He still has more time to do what he has set out to do and could be remembered as the Mexican powerhouse. The only fighter to ever beat GGG and the only fighter that can say he almost beat Mayweather! Points: 1637

#2 Terence Crawford

WBO Welterweight champion of the world! Terence Crawford could be one of the best rising stars in boxing today. Amir Khan didn’t stand a chance with the Welterweight king! Before entering the Welterweight division, he was the undisputed super lightweight champion of the world, before going into the welterweight division and knocking out the WBO welterweight champion at the time in the 7th round! Currently hasn’t got any fights coming up, but for sure he will be going for another world title very soon! WBO champion is mainly remembered by how he changes his stance from orthodox and southpaw in the middle of a fight to confuse his opponents! Points: 1489

 

#3 Gennady Golovkin

Gennady Golovkin, also known as GGG, could be described as the second-best Middleweight boxer in the world, just slightly behind Canelo in the rankings! At the age of 37, he is still proving to be a potential champion of the world! Last fight he was against undefeated fighter Steve Rolls, however, Rolls only lasted till the 4th round before getting knocked out! GGG is currently wanting to fight Canelo once again to see if he can beat him in the third fight. This could be the most viewed fight ever if this deal goes through. 41 bouts in his whole career, 39 wins with 35 via KO, 1 loss and 1 draw, however both the loss and the draw came by Canelo! Does GGG have what it takes to beat the best lbs for lbs boxer in the world? Points: 1423

#4 Errol Spence Jr

The current IBF world welterweight champion has been on a roll in this division. Beating Mikey Garcia, who was undefeated in 39 fights, via unanimous decisions. Errol Spence Jr has only been boxing since 2012 and has already been the next unified champion, if he keeps his run of form. Won every fight he’s been in so far, with 21 via KO and 4 via points! The only fighter he has to worry about is Crawford since he is so light on his feet, he may cause an upset to Spence Jr, however the 29-year-old still has time to get better! Points: 1245

#5 Vasiliy Lomachenko

WBA and WBO world lightweight champion… in 14 fights! Lomachenko has been in top form the past few years. Achieving both titles and gaining a chance at the world lightweight championship in his second fight! However, he managed to lose that fight, but, that fight made him get better, since now he is at the top of the lightweight division and no one can beat him! 1 lose to his name doesn’t matter! One loss can change a fighter and make them understand what went wrong! Lomachenko will most likely end up being the unified lightweight champion of the world in the future. The 31-year-old has a bright future! Points: 1231
