Pound-for-Pound Update

With Danny Garcia's victory over Zab Judah and Saul Alvarez's win against Austin Trout, there have been a number of changes to the Saturday Night Boxing pound-for-pound list. Garcia, with a strong body of work at junior welterweight, enters the SNB Top-20 at #18 and Alvarez, who beat an undefeated titlist to unify belts, debuts at #20.  Chris John drops out of the Rankings because of his lengthy run of middling opponents and his refusal to face the best at featherweight. In addition, Brian Viloria, who lost a clear to decision to Juan Estrada earlier in the month, exits the SNB Top-20.

The complete SNB Top-20 now stands:
  1. Floyd Mayweather
  2. Andre Ward
  3. Juan Manuel Marquez
  4. Sergio Martinez
  5. Manny Pacquiao
  6. Wladimir Klitschko
  7. Guillermo Rigondeaux
  8. Vitali Klitschko
  9. Nonito Donaire
  10. Tim Bradley
  11. Abner Mares
  12. Roman Gonzalez
  13. Carl Froch
  14. Bernard Hopkins
  15. Robert Guerrero
  16. Anselmo Moreno
  17. Daniel Geale
  18. Danny Garcia
  19. Juan Estrada
  20. Saul Alvarez
