By Ken Wills: This is my opinion based upon who they have beaten, and pure boxing skills not hype. It’s funny how after Floyd Mayweather Jr. retired last September all of a sudden fighters who weren’t even considered in the pound for pound discussion suddenly ended up number 1 or 2 or 3 without even fighting a champion former champion or Hall of Famer to get their spot.
Gennady Golovkin, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Roman Gonzalez and Terence Crawford all look to me like they could be number one pound for pound, but you have to take that spot by beating the best, and they haven’t had their opportunity to prove that they are the best in the ring.
