After Terence Crawford topped Canelo Alvarez in their megafight earlier this month, the dynamics shifted (perhaps only slightly) when it comes to boxing’s pound-for-pound list and its pound-for-pound moneymakers list. Yes, Alvarez is still featured on both, but Crawford’s standing, currently and historically, when it comes to all-time greatness and all-time moneymaking certainly rose.
Before I get into boxing’s biggest moneymakers, here’s how I rank the regular pound-for-pound list.
1. Terence Crawford
2. Naoya Inoue
3. Oleksandr Usyk
4. Dmitry Bivol
5. Artur Beterbiev
6. Junto Nakatani
7. Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez
8. Shakur Stevenson
9. Canelo Alvarez
10. David Benavidez
