Boxing’s pound-for-pound rankings in the US are a measure of a fighter’s overall skill, regardless of weight class. The ranking takes into account a boxer’s victories, consistency, skill level, and dominance in their division. As of recent years, fighters like Canelo Álvarez, Terence Crawford, and Naoya Inoue are often at the top, due to their impressive records and ability to defeat top contenders. These rankings can shift based on performance, with wins over elite opponents moving a fighter up, while losses can knock them down. This ranking is highly debated and is subjective, influenced by personal preferences and interpretations of a fighter's impact.
