Lomachenko climbed to fifth place in the ranking of the best boxers of our time

Ukrainian world champion Welterweight Vasyl Lomachenko progressed on one line in rating of the best boxers in the world regardless of weight class.

To move to the fifth position Lomachenko was able due to the regression of the former world champion light heavyweight Sergey Kovalev, who last Saturday in Las Vegas in a rematch prematurely lost to the leader of the rating pound for pound Andre ward.

Top 10 ranking of the magazine “The Ring”:

1. Andre ward (USA, light heavyweight)
2. Gennady Golovkin (Kazakhstan, middle weight)
3. Roman Gonzalez (Nicaragua, the second lightest weight)
4. Terence Crawford (USA, the first Welterweight)
5. Vasyl Lomachenko (Ukraine, Featherweight)
6. Guillermo Rigondeaux (Cuba, the second Bantamweight)
7. Sergey Kovalev (Russia, light heavyweight)
8. Saul Alvarez (Mexico, middle weight)
9. Shinsuke Yamanaka (Japan Bantamweight)
10. Naoya Inoue (Japan, the second lightest weight)

In computer independent rating portal “BoxRec” Lomachenko, on the contrary, lost one position. Ukrainian bypassed the above-mentioned ward, who, thanks to an early victory over Kovalev from the end of the top 10 moved immediately to the third position.
