After blowing away top-15 super-middleweight Rocky Fielding in three rounds Canelo Alvarez is still the disputed king of the pound-4-pound boxing rankings. After a less than scintillating performance coming off of shoulder surgery Vasyl Lomachencko’s stock drops as he goes from #2 to #3. Jermell Charlo exits from pound-4-pound rankings at #30 and is replaced by his conqueror Tony Harrison who pulled off the upset as a 15-1 underdog. In a sobering bout Adonis Stevenson exits and makes room for Oleksandr Gvozdyk at #29 after getting knocked out and left in critical condition.
