Gervonta Davis’ draw against Lamont Roach this month resulted in him being weighed in the first 10 pounds of the ring. Fans worked together to see the “boxing” tank Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) fall off the roster of the pounds and not even beaten.
This list needs to be fixed. How Tank Davis removed from the list and the recently beaten fighter Artur Beterbiev and Devin Haneystill stay on the top 10 pound list of rings? Haney was beaten by Ryan Garcia in April last year and shouldn’t be in the top ten after the ordeal of the Barclays Center. Fans saw what was going on.
List of the top 10 pounds for ring updates
- Oleksandr Usyk
- Naoya Inoue
- Terence Crawford
- Dmitry Bivol
- Artur Beterbiev
- Jesse Bem Rodriguez
- Canelo Alvarez
- Junto Nakatani
- Devin Haney
- David Benavidez
Canelo Alvarez Not on the list because he has been selectively choosing the opposition for the past three years. He failed to fight David Benavidez, which looked like a plain old-fashioned fear grab.
Beterbiev, 40, lost to Dmitry Bivol on February 22, and many believe he should lose his first game last October 12. For Artur, this should be two losses. Why is he still in the first 10 pounds of the ring after these shows? Losing to Bivol is enough to keep Beterbiev from being included.
Haney and Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani should not be on the list. These guys aren’t doing enough to win solid victories with reliable senior talents to get them on the ring’s behemoth list. WBC Breathest Weightweight Champion Nakatani (30-0 23 KOS) is a good fighter, but the guy he was beaten was hit and put him on the pound list? His best professional win was Andrew Moloney, who had lost to Joshua Franco twice.
