    Best pound-for-pound boxers revealed with Tyson Fury jumping up the list as Usyk leapfrogs Joshua

    CANELO ALVAREZ will aim to become undisputed super-middleweight world champ when he fights Caleb Plant on November 6.And if he manages to beat the American, you won’t find many arguing against him being the pound-for-pound best.

    The Mexican is already four-weight world champ – you wouldn’t be surprised if he fancies a crack at cruiser or even heavy in the future.
    However, a host of other stars claim to be the king of the ring, especially after the dramatic events in the heavyweight division over the past month.
    Here SunSport gives its pound-for-pound top ten boxers – and it was NOT an easy task.
    10 Artur Beterbiev
    Russian powerhouse Beterbiev cemented his place as the man at 175lbs after stopping Oleksandr Gvozdyk to add the WBC title to his IBF belt and then defending those against Adam Deines.
    The now unified light-heavyweight puncher stayed resilient in the Eastern European affair and kept his 100 per cent KO rate intact.
    A unification clash against WBA ruler Dmitry Bivol has now been mentioned in what would be another clash of two heavy hitters.
    But a potential meeting with Kovalev or even Canelo would do more to enhance Beterbiev’s already scary profile.
    However, it is Marcus Browne up next for him in the ring next month.

    9 Anthony Joshua
    Joshua makes it into this list for his boxing skillset learned from his amateur days and also his bouncebackability.
    The sport was stunned when Joshua was flattened by the unfancied late stand-in Andy Ruiz Jr – but went back to the drawing board, came back, and scored an easy rematch victory.
    However, he is now on the comeback trail again after he lost his belts and was completely outclassed by Usyk last month.
    Critics will argue that AJ could well be the complete heavyweight, but not pound-for-pound for his transferrable skills.
    But he has never shirked a challenge and the list of his conquests is very impressive – and will get even greater if he is successful in his rematch with Usyk.
    8 Vasiliy Lomachenko
    Leaving the amateur game with a record of 396-1 – with the one loss to Albert Selimov later avenged – the simple question was could the boxing maestro transcend his skill-set to 12 rounds.
    An early loss to Orlando Salido – for the WBO featherweight title in Lomachenko’s second pro fight – was a clear reminder that the unpaid ranks are a completely different game.
    But after being roughed up and out-muscled by a veteran and overweight Salido, Loma became the quickest three-weight world champion in history.
    A contentious points defeat by Lopez saw the proud Ukrainian take a hit and he is desperate for the rematch.
    But he bounced back brilliant, completely outclassing Masayoshi Nakatani before KO’ing the Japanese fighter in the ninth.
    Will be in action again next month when he battles Richard Commey at Madison Square Garden.

    7 Teofimo Lopez
    Lopez became lightweight world champ in only his 15th bout – three fights before Mayweather – as he knocked out Richard Commey for the IBF belt in December 2019.
    The 24 year old was still rightfully an outsider against masterful southpaw Lomachenko in October 2020, where all the titles were at stake.
    But Lopez silenced the doubters and became an overnight sensation, knocking the P4P No1 off his perch.
    It also made him only the fifth man – behind Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford and Oleksandr Usyk – to hold all four undisputed titles.

    6 Naoya Inoue
    The Americans now know all about Inoue.
    He has secured two KO victories in his last two fights in Las Vegas – demonstrating his phenomenal power at bantamweight.
    Having began his career at 108 lbs the Japanese banger went on to claim titles at super-flyweight, junior-bantamweight champion and bantamweight.
    The heavy-handed 28-year-old has flown under the radar having campaigned at the lighter weights.
    But beating fighting legend Nonito Donaire in the World Boxing Super Series final had everyone sitting up and taking notice.

    5 Tyson Fury
    The Gypsy King completed the most memorable of journeys back to the top when he battered Deontay Wilder to be crowned WBC heavyweight champ.
    And he backed that up a fortnight ago as he emerged triumphant after a thrilling trilogy fight with the Bronze Bomber.
    Even at his heaviest back in the boxing ring, Fury moves like the wind and is several steps ahead of his opponent before a punch is even thrown.
    Fury is still undefeated as a pro – 31 wins and one draw, with 22 KOs.

    4 Oleksandr Usyk
    Usyk reigned as undisputed cruiserweight king having won the WBSS – which involved all the divisions belts – and has now well-and-truly stamped his authority at heavyweight.
    His nimble footwork, consistent punching rate and heavy hands made him no match for anyone at 200lbs – with his previous most high-profile win coming against Tony Bellew in Manchester.
    The Ukrainian maestro hasn’t had it all his own way at heavyweight – notably Derek Chisora caused him all sorts of problems.
    But he overcame the odds to completely outclass Anthony Joshua at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month to snatch the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.
    And that was enough to propel him way above his Brit rival and Tyson Fury in our P4P rankings.

    3 Terence Crawford
    Crawford is as classy in the ring as he is outside it.
    Possibly the best switch-hitter in the game right now, he has the ability to overwhelm any foe with his combination punching.
    The American has great balance allowing him to work as a counter-puncher – as Julius Indongo knows – though he is equally as deadly as an aggressive box-puncher, which often comes out in the later rounds.
    Crawford has won world titles at lightweight, super-lightweight and currently reigns as WBO welterweight king – having held undisputed gold at 140lbs.
    Fans are now anxiously awaiting his showdown with Shawn Porter.

    2 Josh Taylor
    Incredibly, Taylor still doesn’t seem to get the respect he deserves.
    Along his path to becoming UNDISPUTED super-lightweight champion, the 30-year-old Scott has battered some real warriors.
    Taylor is now the face of Sky Sports’ new boxing era without Eddie Hearn – and it’s about time.
    He is next in action on December 18 when he defends titles against Jack Catterall.

    1 Canelo Alvarez
    Mexican hero Alvarez has quickly taken over as boxing’s biggest star since former foe Floyd Mayweather walked away from the sport.
    With only a sole loss – to Mayweather in 2013 aged 23 – Canelo has gone on to rule the super-welterweight and middleweight divisions as well as winning a world title at super-middleweight.
    Last time out he crushed Billy Joe Saunders’ dreams, as well as his eye socket, with a stoppage win.
    Next up is the unification blockbuster against Caleb Plant – but the Mexican looks unbeatable right now.

    The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
    In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
    Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under and replaced by Istanbul.

    Who are the greatest F1 drivers of all time? Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna ranked

    FORMULA ONE is where legends are born, behind the wheel of the fastest cars on the planet.But who is the greatest with Lewis Hamilton level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles.

    So where does SunSport’s Ben Hunt put the Mercedes man, alongside Ayrton Senna and seven-time champ Schumacher?
    Check out his full run-down of the top 10 below.10. Fernando Alonso
    The Spaniard is a remarkable driver, blessed with skill, pace and a cunning that means he should have more than the two F1 titles he owns.
    But for poor choice when it comes to making decisions about which teams to race for, he should have been rivalling Hamilton for titles.
    9. Sir Stirling Moss
    Without doubt the best driver never to win a Formula One world title.
    Fabulously charming and such a wonderful character.
    The Brit won 212 of the 529 races he entered.
    8. Alain Prost
    The Frenchman enjoyed a titanic battle with Senna for F1 supremacy.
    For what he lost out in natural ability compared to the Brazilian, he made up for it with ruthlessness and dedication.
    A smooth driver in the same mould as Stewart and Clark.
    7. Niki Lauda
    Tenacious competitor both on and off track.
    A true hero after coming back from suffering horrific burns in 1976 following a crash at the Nurburgring only to make an astonishing comeback just six weeks later.
    He won the F1 title the following season.

    6. Sir Jackie Stewart
    Won his three world titles during a dangerous period in Formula One’s history.
    Stewart saw countless competitors perish in the cockpit and set about making safety improvements.
    A wonderfully measured driver who was also calm behind the wheel.

    5. Juan Manuel Fangio
    One of the pioneers of Formula One, Fangio won an incredible five world titles when the sport was in its infancy.
    With safety at a minimum and reliability commonplace, the Argentine was a remarkably consistent performer.
    4. Jim Clark
    The greatest driver of his generation, Clark was a two-time world champion and won 25 times in 72 starts – more than any other driver at the time.
    His versatility also saw him win the Indy 500, the British Touring Car Championship, the Tasman Series in Australian and New Zealand.
    3. Michael Schumacher
    All-time record hold for most wins (91) and titles (seven), Schumacher’s record stands as the best in F1 history.
    His meticulous focus and attention to details helped make him a multiple world champion, even if his racing methods were called into question.

    2. Ayrton Senna
    Supremely talented and wonderfully competitive.
    Senna’s raw talent over a single-lap made him a hero, as did his ability to win races in any conditions.
    Hugely passionate, he helped elevate the publicity of F1 to new levels.
    1. Lewis Hamilton
    Like Michael Schumacher and Aytron Senna before him, Hamilton has taken F1 to a new level when it comes to dominating races.
    Astonishingly consistent, brilliant over a qualifying lap and smart race-craft.
    Rarely makes a mistake. Always delivers.

    Best heavyweight fights EVER: Where Tyson Fury’s win over Deontay Wilder ranks with Muhammad Ali classics for Colin Hart

    TO put Tyson Fury’s wildly exciting victory over Deontay Wilder in perspective when it come to the greatest heavyweight fights it would be like comparing a molehill to a mountain.It was certainly dramatic, thrilling and highly entertaining but to put it into its proper context rather than going OTT everything must be taken into consideration – particularly the quality of opponent.

    I was lucky enough to have been ringside at what I consider to have been five that were better – and three were of historical significance.
    6. Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder, October 9, 2021, Las Vegas.
    Fury was expected to repeat his victory over Wilder but at times it was a close-run thing and he had to haul himself off the canvas after being put down twice in the fourth.
    The Gypsy King, having floored Wilder twice before knocking him out in the 11th, made it a spectacular yo-yo battle that you daren’t take your eyes off.
    It was a pulsating war that was certainly one of he most memorable in the pantheon of heavyweight clashes and deserves to be in the top six because of he adrenalin rush it gave everyone who saw it.

    For me, it was memorable but falls short of the top five because of Wilder’s lack of quality. Apart from the terrifying power in his right hand, he fights like a novice.
    It was extremely one-sided from the sixth round. In my opinion, Wilder’s corner or the referee should have pulled him out in the ninth. He was out on his feet and taking a terrible beating.
    Fury did what he had to do and he did it brilliantly. But the mediocre opposition was made for him.

    5. Mike Tyson-Buster Douglas, February 2, 1990, Tokyo
    Mike Tyson, the the unbeaten Baddest Man on the Planet was defending the world title against a man who was given a 42-1 chance of beating him.
    Interviewing Douglas in his hotel room a couple of days before the fight he said he was going to KO Iron Mike in memory of his beloved mother who had died three weeks before – a statement that caused much sniggering among the media.
    But Tyson was in the middle of marital problems and hadn’t trained properly as he considered he was going to have an easy win over no-hoper Douglas.

    Despite putting Buster down in the eighth Tyson was out-boxed and outfought by a possessed challenger.
    We found it difficult to believe our eyes as Douglas efficiently began to dismantle him.
    In the tenth he bludgeoned a badly dazed and severely punished Tyson to the floor.
    There was no chance he was going to beat the count – and who can forget seeing Mike trying desperately to put his gumshield back in his mouth as the referee tolled off the seconds.
    Douglas was the new champion to world-wide astonishment in the greatest upset in heavyweight history.
    4 George Foreman-Muhammad Ali, October 29, 1974, Kinshasa, Zaire
    There was considerable concern for Ali’s safety when he challenged the unbeaten fearsome punching George Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle.
    Not only was Ali given scant chance of getting his world title back, there were real fears he would end up in hospital or even worse.
    But Ali – who fought with his brains as well as his fists – devised a battle plan that completely demoralised Foreman and nearly caused his trainer Angelo Dundee a heart attack.
    Ali called it “rope-a-dope”. Only someone as brave as him would have thought it, let alone attempted it.

    Standing with his back to the ropes he allowed Foreman to hammer him to the body until he had punched punch himself out.
    By the eighth round Foreman was completely exhausted and when Ali hit him with a left-right combination to the head his resistance had gone completely and he went crashing to the canvas to be counted out.
    Against all the odds, and to the delight of his billions of fans, Ali had won his crown back at 32 for one of the greatest victories of all-time.
    3. Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield, November 13, 1992, Las Vegas
    If any fighter combined technical ability with the guts and determination never to be beaten, Evander Holyfield is that man.
    His first of a trilogy of clashes with Riddick Bowe will never be forgotten. They were beautifully matched in skill and courage and and as the action ebbed and flowed there was little between them.
    When they came out for the tenth little did we know we were about to witness one of the greatest three minutes in the history of then heavyweight division.

    Bowe set about Holyfield, smashing him to head and body with sledgehammer blows. Holyfield was reeling all over the ring and he stood swaying as if he was standing in a gale force wind – but he refused to go down.
    Holyfield was under a sustained two-handed attack for a good couple of minutes but somehow he found reserves of strength and counter-attacked with such ferocity it was Bowe hanging on for dear life until the bell.
    Bowe got the unanimous decision but one of my American colleagues spoke for us all when he said: “The heart of Holyfield. No words for it.”
    2. Muhammad Ali-Smokin Joe Frazier, October 1, 1975, Manila
    This was called the Thrilla in Manila and it turned out to be unquestionably the most brutal heavyweight fight of all-time.
    Both men had deteriorated considerably since their first clash four years earlier, to such an extent they simply couldn’t get out of the way of each other’s punches.
    They virtually stood trading blows, with neither giving an inch in the suffocating heat in the arena.

    By the time the bell sounded to end the 14th round they were both exhausted but Frazier’s left eye was completely closed beneath a mound of bruised flesh.
    As he sat on his stool his trainer the great Eddie Futch took one look at him and said “It’s over.
    “But no-one will ever forget what you did here today.”
    Despite Frazier’s protests, Futch called referee Carlos Padilla over to tell him his man had retired.
    If any one doubts about the ferocity of that battle, Ali’s comment ‘That’s the nearest I’ve come to dying’ says it all.
    1. Muhammad Ali-Smokin’ Joe Frazier, March 8, 1971, New York
    It was the first time two unbeaten fighters had fought for the world heavyweight title and such was the excitement in the 20,000 Madison Square Garden crowd, two men died of heart attacks before the opening bell.
    It was publicised as The Fight of The Century and for once it lived up to its billing. We were treated to 15 scintillating rounds of non-stop action.
    Ali, coming off a three-year exile, found Frazier’s relentless two-handed attack from first bell to last too much for him.
    He survived being knocked down by Joe’s left hook in the 15th and last round but was narrowly beaten on points.
    Both men ended up in hospital. Ali had a suspected broken jaw and Frazier took six weeks to physically recover.

    The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the outright top dog if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
    In a season that has already seen shifts and changes to the calendar, the Australian Grand Prix was due to take place on the weekend of March 21, but was put back to November 21.
    Then the Melbourne event was cancelled altogether due to rising Covid cases Down Under.
    And in April the world governing body approved sprint races in the British, Brazilian and Italian Grand Prix as a replacement for qualifying.
