Who do you think is th P4P best active boxer right now?

Chocolatito, he's like the perfected version of GGG. Only thing GGG has on him is power as far as p4p goes imho.
 
What are you asking? Who I think the most talented boxer is or who has earned the right to be called the best p4p?
 
Ward.

If he counts as active lol. We have to make it to Saturday still.

You think Ward is more talented than Rigo and Chocolatito? I think they're at least dead even.
 
Ward, Rigo, Chocolatito, Uchiyama, GGG, and Crawford would be my guys for right now for talent.

I am not very familiar with Uchiyama, but I would not put Crawford in with those other guys yet.

Uchi's a really good pressure fighter/boxer. His combos are good, he hits brutally hard (P4P arguably harder than even GGG/Chocolatito/Kovalev) and he's really good a stalking his opponent. Very fluid jab as well. I think it was ZapataIX who compared him stylistically to Joe Louis.

I think Crawford has a ways to grow, butI'm impressed by his ability to adjust and change and I like his switch hitting.

They just never seem to put the Japanese guy on TV so I never get to catch his fights.

I am a big Crawford fan. I just need to see him fight some decent fighters his own size before I put him in that top group.

He is a beast though. I think he will fair very well against top guys. I think he would beat Garcia at 147.

you can catch some of his fights and highlights on youtube, definitely worth a look.

I agree that Crawford's resume leaves some to be desired, but I think he's really talented. I'd like to see a Postol fight. definitely think he beats garcia
 
By talent? Mayweather if he unretires. If not, then I'd take Ward, Lomnchenko and Inoue, probably in that order right now and in reverse order in 18 months.

Not completely sold on GGG on Chocolito, but they deserve to be rated higher right now based on recent accomp;ishments. I think Rigo and Pacquiao have let let too much time run off the clock to be at quite the level of a guy like Ward right now.

I'm really not impressed by Loma, not sure what everybody sees in him. Inoue and Ward are great though.
 
Not sure. I think it's going to take a bit of time to sort it out.
 
Kovalev is far more proven then GGG. As dominant. Not sure why people always rank GGG higher.

I think Ward is considerably better than Rigo.

Rigo is my dude, but he gets floored too often.
 
In a strictly p4p sense based on fairly recent evidence I'd have Gonzalez clearly ahead of everyone. Ward and even Rigo can get themselves back in the conversation, but they have to get active. Golovkin, Kovalev, Canelo, and Crawford can get themselves in the conversation with one big win (Crawford beating Postol would mean that he would have established himself as the man in two different weight divisions which is very significant; Golovkin beating Canelo would make him the man at MW; Canelo beating Golovkin would make him the man in his second weight class; Kovalev beating Ward would give him a win over an elite fighter who is not 50 years old). We are also forgetting Pacquiao. I'm not sure if I'd have anyone active at WW (which is still maybe the deepest division in the sport) beating him, and if he beat Bradley clearly again he'd definitely have a claim to being p4p #2.
