We’ve gone back and updated our top 20 pound for pound list, which we hadn’t done since May, after the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight. Here, we’re revising the list in the wake of Mayweather’s “retirement”, as well as the latest dominant showings from Gennady Golovkin and Roman Gonzalez. Just where will GGG and Chocolatito be ranked in our list? Follow the link to check it out!

Both Golovkin and Gonzalez put on dynamic displays at Madison Square Garden and on HBO pay-per-view, dispatching of quality opponents with ease. Golovkin took care of David Lemieux, and Gonzalez took out Brian Viloria. Together, the two fighters already represented two of our top six pound for pound fighters, but how high do they rise now, especially with the absence of Mayweather, along with the also retired Carl Froch?

Check out the updated list and be sure to chime in with your own comments on who you think should be ranked where, and who you think the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world truly is — Golovkin, Gonzalez, or somebody else?
