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:
- Floyd Mayweather
- Andre Ward
- Wladimir Klitschko
- Manny Pacquiao
- Juan Manuel Marquez
- Tim Bradley
- Guillermo Rigondeaux
- Carl Froch
- Roman Gonzalez
- Bernard Hopkins
- Adonis Stevenson
- Miguel Cotto
- Danny Garcia
- Gennady Golovkin
- Anselmo Moreno
- Nonito Donaire
- Juan Estrada
- Saul Alvarez
- Takashi Uchiyama
- Mikey Garcia
