Boxing Ledger's Top Ten Pound-For-Pound Rankings

As of Sunday, April 14, 2013:

1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
2. Bernard Hopkins
3. Sergio Martinez
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Andre Ward
6. Manny Pacquiao
7. Wladimir Klitschko
8. Vitali Klitschko
9. Carl Froch
10. Guillermo Rigondeaux

Pound-For-Pound rankings were established to determine if a fighter, who is paramount in his weight class, is also superior when compared to other fighters atop their own respective weight divisions. How did I formulate these current rankings? It is comprised of careful observation, analysis and evaluation through the years on four specific criteria.

1) Quality of Opposition - What level of competition has each fighter faced?

2) Performance Level - How did the fighter fare against the various styles he encountered?

3) Age - Did the fighter defeat his opponents while they were in the prime of their careers?

4) Significance of a Loss - If a fighter lost, how did he lose? Was it via decision or knockout? Did he sustain a loss at the hands of high-quality competition? Was he at the peak of his career when he suffered a defeat?
