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?

Son Of The Legend, Aaron Pryor, Jr., Scores Majority Decision Win Over Librado Andrade In Sólo Boxeo Tecate Main Event

INDIO, CA (May 7, 2011) – Aaron Pryor, Jr. doesn’t fight like his dad, boxing legend Aaron “Hawk” Pryor, but he is starting to learn how it feels to score big wins, just like his old man did three decades ago. Pryor, Jr. notched the biggest victory of his career on Friday night, sticking and moving his way to a 10-round majority decision over former three time world title challenger Librado Andrade in the main event of TeleFutura’s Sólo Boxeo Tecate from the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA.

Andrade vs. Pryor Jr. was presented by Golden Boy Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate.

The Cincinnati native Pryor, Jr. (16-3, 11 KOs), 32, looked like a different fighter than the one from his first 18 professional bouts, displaying a much improved jab and head movement to keep the all-action Andrade (29-4, 22 KOs), 32, at bay. In contrast to Pryor, Sr., who was known for his non-stop punching style, the younger pugilist wisely boxed, and often found a home for his right hand when Andrade pressed forward.

When the cards were tallied, it was Pryor Jr.’s boxing acumen that was rewarded with a majority decision. Scorecards were 96-94, 96-94, 95-95.

“I’m just so happy to get my career jumpstarted,” said Pryor, Jr. following the win. “Andrade was very tough, and one of the hardest punchers I’ve ever faced. I know I have a lot of work to put in, but I can feel the improvements.”
