Who won Ngannou vs Joshua? Briton Anthony Joshua
Is Francis Ngannou ranked? But Ngannou is now ranked as the WBC's no 10 below Otto Wallin and above Filip Hrgovic.
Briton Anthony Joshua delivered the most powerful statement to the heavyweight division with a destructive second-round knockout win over Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia.Taylor would follow that win with a lackluster and controversial decision win vs. Jack Catterall in early Since then, Taylor has been stripped of all his belts due to inactivity except the WBO belt, which he will be defending against Teofimo Lopez later this year.
All in all, Taylor has shown to be one of the best lb fighters despite the stalling of his career lately. In a perfect world, the WBA would order an immediate rematch or call this fight a no-contest as the referee made a clear mistake. In reality, Rolly will most likely look to secure a payday against an undeserving opponent.
While Rolly is an entertaining character and showman, he does not have the power or skills to be an elite lb fighter. Jack Catterall: Most observers and fans scored Catterall winning a close decision over the then undisputed champion Taylor last year. Securing a rematch vs. Taylor has proved to be fruitless for Catterall. It has been talked about that Catterall may be in line for the winner of the Taylor vs.
Lopez match, but Catterall should probably look at other options rather than waste time negotiating with Taylor again. A fight with Prograis would be intriguing. Teofimo Lopez: The former unified lightweight champion has not looked very impressive since his shocking victory over Lomachenko in Lopez would follow that win with his first career loss to George Kambosos Jr and then two lackluster performances vs.
Pedro Campa and Sandor Martin. Lopez is scheduled to take on Taylor later this year, but based on his last few outings, he will most likely be schooled by the world-class Taylor. In Ramirez defeated past prime Jose Pedraza in a dull affair, and this past March, he defeated an equally faded Richard Commey in a snoozer. Ramirez had an opportunity to take on Prograis this year for the WBC strap but decided to face Commey instead.
Gary Antuanne Russell: Russell may be the most talented fighter in all of the lb division. He possesses knockout power and top-level skills. An incredible run, an amazing career. Best 140 boxers Note: Now that PBC have their broadcast future sorted , maybe this division can come off of its contractually-induced coma.
Notes: Obviously a lot to talk about here. Devin Haney comes in at No. I think Devin was extremely good in that fight, a career-best. Part of that, though, has to be chalked up to the fact that Prograis has looked pretty cooked this year. Maybe they should fight and figure it out. I say crazy things sometimes. In all honesty, as a longtime Prograis fan, someone who has really enjoyed watching him fight, I might be being generous dropping him to No.
Ryan Garcia holds at No. Ryan admitting that the crappy shoulder roll was his own dumb idea was pretty funny, and ultimately he got the job done and in style. Kinda starting to hate having Gary Antuanne Russell ranked, honestly. Notes: Andy Cruz is very clearly one of the 10 best lightweights in the world.
I slotted him in at No. There is not a world where I can imagine Hughes beating Cruz — and I genuinely enjoy Hughes — nor Abdullaev, and frankly I think he beats the brakes off Kambosos right now. Kambosos should have three straight losses, and while two were to Haney, one should have been to Hughes. Like Loma, Cruz was not a good amateur, he was a sensational amateur.
And his first two pro fights suggest this will continue into the pro ranks. Boxing is such a challenge to continue liking week to week for so many long stretches of every single year, I say embrace the now-and-again chance to just be fired up. Along with the stunning Rafael Espinoza upset of Robeisy Ramirez, decided to do some general housecleaning here, which I do from time to time with a division.
On his best nights, he will flirt with greatness. On his worse nights, or when the style goes against his better approach, he will struggle. Espinoza is a great addition, style-wise, to the upper tier.
