Pound-for-Pound Update 8-11-14

The major change to the Saturday Night Boxing pound-for-pound list is the continued ascension of middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin, who recently scored one of the most impressive wins of his career by knocking out former unified titleholder Daniel Geale in three rounds. Golovkin moves up from #20 to #14 on the SNB Top Fighters list. Right above Golovkin is Danny Garcia, who remains at the #13 spot after his second-round stoppage of Rod Salka. Although Garcia's KO victory was dominant, Salka was an undistinguished opponent; thus, Garcia's win doesn't warrant consideration for higher placement in the Rankings at this time. The complete Top-20 pound-for-pound list is below: 

1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Andre Ward
3. Wladimir Klitschko
4. Manny Pacquiao
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Tim Bradley
7. Guillermo Rigondeaux
8. Carl Froch
9. Roman Gonzalez
10. Bernard Hopkins
11. Adonis Stevenson
12. Miguel Cotto
13. Danny Garcia
14. Gennady Golovkin
15. Anselmo Moreno
16. Nonito Donaire
17. Juan Estrada
18. Saul Alvarez
19. Takashi Uchiyama
20. Mikey Garcia
