I thank everyone that has contacted me with fan mail input. It’s a good feeling to be appreciated and respected.

In the past few years the three most asked questions have been: Who is the greatest boxer of all time? (Answer: Sugar Ray Robinson) Who would win between Muhammad Ali vs. Mike Tyson? (Answer: Ali) Who are the best prospects in boxing today? (Answer: Oleksandr Gvozdyk and Eddie Ramirez).

But as of late, most write in asking (and with their opinions): Who are the best pound for pound?

So to answer, here is my dynamite dozen (12) best of the today, as of April 17, 2017:

1) Gennady Golovkin (37-0 / 34 by KO) Middleweight

2) Andre Ward (31-0 / 15 by KO) Light Heavyweight
