NOTE: The best fighters in the world pound for pound are ranked here on Liverpuncher.com. We believe that ring accomplishments mean more than anything when ranking fighters so we decided to wait for the outcome of many of the big fights before doing another update. Some may rank a fighter based on what they think he has the potential to do, but until that fighter proves what he can do against other elite fighters, he won’t be found on this pound for pound list. These mythical pound for pound boxing rankings always spark up heated debates amongst boxing fans, post your’s up in the forum!
