Terence Crawford regains P4P throne after dismantling Canelo Alvarez World Boxing News can reveal that Terence Crawford has climbed back to the summit of the pound-for-pound rankings following his career-defining victory over Canelo Alvarez. Crawford, already a four-weight world champion before challenging at super middleweight, cemented his legacy further by stepping up and producing a near-flawless performance against the Mexican superstar. He’s now a five-weight ruler and three-weight undisputed king. The result not only stripped away the last questions about his greatness but also reignited the debate over who truly deserves to be called the best fighter on the planet. Crawford’s Return to the Summit ‘Bud’ is back on top after almost two years away as his victory over Errol Spence Jr. saw him become WBN P4P number one for the first time despite two previous undisputed reigns. Despite having fought just once this year, Crawford’s achievement against Canelo has catapulted him back above the rest, making him the early front-runner for Fighter of the Year. Usually, consistency and activity play a huge role in that accolade, but such was the scale of his triumph that anyone will be hard-pressed to overlook the Omaha man. Canelo, on the other hand, has taken the brunt of the fallout. Once a fixture at the very top, his recent run has drawn criticism, with performances and opposition choices scrutinized more heavily than ever. Losing convincingly to Crawford has now dropped him behind younger stars like Shakur Stevenson, while there were even discussions about whether Alvarez should remain inside the top ten at all. World Boxing News provides an up-to-date Top 50 list of the Pound for Pound Rankings in boxing. The comprehensive half-century surpasses any other ratings, as Worldboxingnews.com remains the only outlet to have provided more than a Top 20 ranking and has done so since 2010. WBN’s pound-for-pound boxing rankings take into consideration world title wins, … Continue reading The Rest of the P4P Landscape Stevenson, unbeaten and still to peak, sits just below Crawford as boxing’s next major torchbearer. At the same time, the likes of Naoya Inoue, Oleksandr Usyk, and Jesse Rodriguez continue to make their own cases. Each has been active in recent years with standout wins, but none have managed to eclipse what Crawford accomplished in one historic night. As reported on August 30, WBN no longer considers Gervonta Davis for the P4P list after signing to fight in an exhibition against a YouTuber. For Crawford, the victory represents a rare feat in the modern era, reclaiming a place at the very top of the sport when many believed Crawford had already written his time in the history books. His CV now spans world titles at lightweight, undisputed glory at 140 and 147, capped off by dethroning Israil Madrimov at 154 before taking on boxing’s biggest name, Canelo. The next question is a natural one. Crawford may find options limited at 154 or 168, with a run at middleweight tipped after the Canelo showcase. But regardless of future opponents, his pound-for-pound status is secured for now, as his consistency, skill set, and ability to rise to every occasion have him once again ruling the rankings. Canelo’s Uncertain Future Canelo’s future, however, is more uncertain. Questions over his motivation, matchmaking, and form are louder than ever. And after years of being considered untouchable in pound-for-pound discussions, the Mexican megastar faces the harsh reality of rebuilding credibility in a sport that offers little forgiveness for decline. Crawford is back where he believes he always belonged, number one in the world at 42-0. For many, after beating Alvarez in such a manner, there is no argument left to make.
