Tyson Fury topped Jake Paul’s pound-for-pound list
Unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion Fury, 32, reigned supreme in the unisex list.
American welterweight rivals Errol Spence, 32, and Terence Crawford, 35, in talks for an undisputed title fight this year, then came joint second.
Similarly, light-heavyweight champions Dmitry Bivol, 31, and Artur Beterbiev, 37, both shared third.
In fourth was current unified heavyweight champ and ex-cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk, 35.
Then Katie Taylor, 36, and Amanda Serrano, 33, who is promoted by Paul, sat at fifth, despite the Irish star’s win in April.
Shakur Stevenson, 25, set to move up to lightweight, came in at sixth following his 19th straight win.
And undisputed light-middleweight ruler Jermell Charlo, 32, was just behind in eighth.
David Benavidez, 25, chasing a fight at super-middleweight with Canelo, was named in ninth.
And just inside the top ten was Naoya Inoue, 29, commonly in most top three pound-for-pound list.
Paul explained his shock decisions in a statement after revealing his list on his podcast.
He said: “First and foremost, Tyson Fury has just been so dominant in the heavyweight division for so long.
“He beats every heavyweight by KO/TKO including Usyk and there hasn’t been a heavyweight in the history of the sport who hasn’t fallen off eventually and Tyson Fury has remained on top and I think he will retire on top.
“However, what Usyk has done from cruiserweight to heavyweight has been impressive and his dominance, versatility, and boxing ability is second to none.
“Terence and Errol is obvious and it just needs to be settled. Artur Beterbiev is the only current champion who holds all KO’s and that’s not talked about enough.
“Bivol being in the same weight class means they need to settle who’s better, however, Bivol knocks Canelo off the list not only after beating him at 175 but for being willing to go to 168.
“We all know it would be the exact same fight at 168 which bumps Canelo of the list plus Canelo ducking Benavidez and Charlo.
“Moving on, it p****s me off that most pound-for-pound list don’t include Amanda or Katie. Like wtf.”
