The reputable ESPN.com published its latest world boxing pound-for-pound ratings and listed Senator Manny Pacquiao at No. 7 after a successful comeback fight against Jessie Vargas in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The ESPN ratings kept the undefeated Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) at the top of the P4P list at No. 1. His last fight was a UD12 over Carlos Cuadras on Sept. 10, 2016.

Placed No. 4 by ESPN, Terence Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs) was victorious UD12 against Viktor Postol on July 23, 2016. His is scheduled to fight John Molina Jr. next on December 10, 2016.

Then Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) followed at No. 7 after regaining his WBO welterweight title by UD12 versus Vargas last November 5, 2016.

Ranked No. 8, Vasyl Lomachenko (6-1, 4 KOs) stopped Roman "Rocky" Martinez by KO5 on June 11, 2016. He was slated to face Nonito Donaire tormentor Nicholas Walters on November 26, 2016.

Another Donaire spoiler Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs) is at No. 9. He last won by TKO2 over James Dickens on July 16, 2016.
