Top 10 Famous Boxers in the World All Time
ChayaphonMoonsri — 54 wins (18 knockouts), unbeaten
Weight class: Minimum weight.
Nationality: Thai.
Having surpassed Floyd Mayweather’s individual 50-0 boxing record with little more than a whisper in the mainstream sports press says a lot about Moonsri.
As one of the most technically-brilliant pugilists of the last 25 years, Floyd Mayweather had the benefit of a powerful Las Vegas promoter, the gift of gab, and then major broadcasters around the world to praise his accomplishments.
Moonsri, meanwhile, competes exclusively in Thailand, his fights are seldom seen outside Asia, and he competes in a weight class few care about; minimumweight, where athletes weigh no more than 105 pounds (48 kg).
This does not diminish the fact that he has won since 2007 and has been a champion since 2014. Moonsri could elevate his ranking with an all-Thai fight against WBA champion ThammanoonNiyomtrong, and a title at the weight class above, at light flyweight.
Championships won: WBC minimumweight title (2014 to present).
Gervonta Davis — 22 wins (21 knockouts), unbeaten.
Weight class: Lightweight.
Nationality: American.
Why he’s ranked:
Are you looking to annoy a lot of boxing fans? Put Davis on your pound-for-pound lists, because, boy, does this dude have his detractors.
Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, promotes Davis in his native Baltimore, in “black Hollywood” Atlanta, and eventually in Las Vegas, the fight capital of the world.
Davis met Business Insider in 2017 in London before his knockout victory over Liam Walsh, where he was accompanied by Mayweather, Ellerbe, and a big entourage.
Having finished his amateur career with a 206-15 record, Davis has a strong finishing ability to complement his technical ability – something he has demonstrated for years.
On December 28, he will fight for a world title in a second weight class against YuriorkisGamboa, a fighter who he is expected to defeat before those influential figures who attempt to elevate him in pound-for-pound lists around the world by booking him into bigger and better fights.
(2017 to present) Champion at super-featherweight.
