| Pound-For-Pound Top 15 |
| By Chris Mannix, Richard O'Brien and Bryan Armen Graham, SI.com |
| Sergio Martinez holds at No. 4 after dominating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to retain the lineal middleweight championship and regain the WBC middleweight title that had been stripped from him. (Note: Results are through September 17.) |
| |
| | | The Latest: Whether you believe Mayweather's claim that he chose to enter a toe-to-toe battle with Miguel Cotto or you think he showed signs of slippage, the five-division champ proved his greatness on May 5. Immediate plans unclear after early release from 87-day jail sentence. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The world's top 168-pounder followed up his triumph over Carl Froch in the Super Six final with his highest-profile victory to date: a clinical TKO of fellow pound-for-pounder Chad Dawson that showed us a pitbull that most didn't know the modest Ward had in him. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The only eight-division champion in history fell victim to a dumbfounding decision on June 9 against Timothy Bradley, losing on points despite outlanding his opponent convincingly. He'll fight longtime rival Juan Manuel Marquez a fourth time on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The recognized middleweight champion made his fifth defense of the lineal 160-pound title on Sept. 15 in Las Vegas, outboxing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for 11½ rounds before surviving a manic final-reel rally that had him badly hurt -- and made a rematch all but inevitable. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The Filipino Flash took a big step toward his goal of unifying the 122-pound titles with a points victory over South Africa's Jeffrey Mathebula on July 7 in Carson, Calif. One last fight at super bantamweight looms against Toshiaki Nishioka on Oct. 13 (on HBO). |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: After exceeding all expectations and nearly upsetting Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 12, the future Hall of Famer moved up to beat Serhiy Fedchenko in March for a title in a fourth different weight class (at 140 pounds). He'll complete his quadrilogy with Pacquiao on Dec. 8. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The younger Klitschko defended his WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring magazine titles on July 7 against Tony Thompson with a sixth-round TKO. It's been more than eight years since he lost. Next man up: Polish challenger Mariusz Wach on Nov. 10 at Hamburg's O2 World Arena. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: Bradley was fortunate to get the decision against Pacquiao and the WBO welterweight title that came with it. With the Filipino having chosen Marquez for his next fight, Bradley (who is recovering from torn foot ligaments suffered in the fight) is targeting a December return. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: Cotto acquitted himself nicely against Mayweather, losing his WBA super welterweight title but not before taking the undefeated pound-for-pound king into (arguably) the deepest waters of his career. An intriguing fight with WBA champ Austin Trout on Dec. 1 at MSG is next. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: Gamboa was ahead on all three cards when his Sept. 10 fight with Daniel Ponce De Leon was stopped due to a cut. He's since inked a deal with 50 Cent's upstart company and will return to action Nov. 17 against IBF super featherweight champ Juan Carlos Salgado. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The other Klitschko brother walked through Manuel Charr on Sept. 8 for his ninth title defense. He's up for election for a parliament seat on Oct. 28, which could spell the end of his boxing career. If not, a lucrative showdown with British bigmouth David Haye could loom. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: Long perceived as a journeyman, Salido blasted his way into pound-for-pound consideration with a pair of crushing knockouts of Juan Manuel Lopez to win and defend the WBO featherweight title. A fight with undefeated contender Mikey Garcia is expected this fall. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The winner of Showtime's four-man bantamweight tournament moved up to 122 pounds and became a two-division champ, winning the WBC super bantamweight title from Eric Morel. He makes his first defense against Anselmo Moreno on Nov. 10 in Los Angeles. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: The Nottingham native conjured a career performance against Lucian Bute, scoring a fifth-round TKO to win the IBF 168-pound title. He's expected to make his first defense against Yusaf Mack in November, with rematches with Bute and Mikkel Kessler on the horizon. |
|
| |
| | | The Latest: Hopkins lost his lineal and Ring light heavyweight championships to Chad Dawson on Apr. 28, but showed well enough to prove he'd still be a handful for any of the division's beltholders, such as Nathan Cleverly (WBO), Tavoris Cloud (IBF) or Beibut Shumenov (WBA). |
|
| The Next Five: Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KOs), Chad Dawson (31-2-0, 17 KOs), Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KOs), Brandon Rios (30-0-1, 22 KOs), Devon Alexander (23-1-0, 13 KOs), Pongsaklek Wonjongkam (86-4-2, 45 KOs). |
