By Ken Hissner: In October of 2020, in this writer’s opinion, the P4P No. 1 boxer Vasyl Lomachenko lost a close 7-5 in rounds decision losing his WBA, WBO, and IBF world lightweight titles to Teofimo “The Takeover” Lopez, 16-0 (12), of Jonesboro, ARK, with the latter being one of the “10” today.
World Boxing Council Heavyweight World champion Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury, 30-0-1 (21), of Cheshire, UK, is being forced to meet once again former champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder instead of unifying with WBA, WBO, and IBF champion Anthony ‘J.A.” Joshua.
Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) is one of the “10”! It seems WBO, WBC, and WBA Super Middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, 56-1-2 (38), of Guadalajara, MEX, is getting the P4P No. 1 boxer today after getting a gift draw with IBF and IBO Middleweight champion Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin, 41-1-1 (36), of KAZ and L.A., CA, and a close win in the rematch. Both Alvarez and Golovkin are in the “10”!
WBO Welterweight champion Terence “Bud” Crawford, 37-0 (28), of Omaha, NEB, who held all 4 belts at 140, is another “10”! Now holding those 140 titles is Josh “Tartan Tornado” Taylor, 18-0 (13), of Scotland, UK, who is the only boxer holding all 4 titles, both Crawford and Taylor are in the “10”! Former WBO Super Middleweight champion Gabriel “Zurdo” Ramirez, 41-0 (27), of Sinaloa, MEX, has moved up to 175 but has the highest unbeaten record and also a “10”!
WBC and International Boxing Federation Welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence, Jr., 27-0 (21), of Desoto, TX, is a “10” with a unification bout with legendary 6-division and current WBA champion Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao in August! Spence is a “10”! WBO Featherweight champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrette, 33-1 (28), of San Juan, MEX, is also a “10”!
In Summary, we have” Tyson ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury, Saul Canelo Alvarez, Gennadiy ‘GGG’Golovkin, Terence Crawford, Gilberto Ramirez, Josh Taylor, Errol Spence, Teofimo Lopez, Oscar Valdez, and Emanuel Navarrette all “10’s”! You pick the P4P No. 1!
