Boxing is a massive sport, and unlike many others that depend on lesser stars and supporting acts, it boasts a plethora of big names that keep the excitement alive. From Tyson Fury to Gervonta Davis, the list of notable fighters goes on and on. Recently, legendary boxer Mike Tyson shared his top five current boxers, highlighting those he believes are at the top of their game. Interestingly, he overlooked the Mexican legend Canelo Alvarez in his pick.
In a recent appearance on the Pound For Pound Podcast, Tyson shared his top boxing picks, which included stars like Gervonta Davis and Terence Crawford. However, fans were shocked to see that Canelo Alvarez and Oleksandr Usyk were left off the list. Instead his top 5 are: Gervonta Davis, Shakur Stevenson, David Benavidez, Terence Crawford, and Errol Spence.
There’s no doubt that Tyson’s picks feature some highly skilled boxers who are at the top of their game. However, it was surprising to see the omissions of Alvarez, Usyk, Fury, and others. In rankings like this, everyone has their biases, which often influence their selections.
