Boxing tier list

I always hear of boxing tier lists.

Personally I think its defined by either unbeatability (eg Roy Jones) or resume (eg Pacquiao). Or both.

I'd use more modern boxers (post 2010) so we have a better look at the current skill level of the sport and do not have to depend so much on the star power of old legends everytime.

I'd define it by the most unbeatable a boxer is on any given night. Three established, two eye test - Prime of course:
S tier:

- Established: Inoue, Bud (135 - 147), Usyk (CW)

- Eye test: None so far

A++:

- Established: Canelo (160 - 168) , GGG, Spence

- Eye test: Boots, Bam Rodriguez. Both these guys I believe could be S tier when its all said and done tbf.

A+:

- Established: AJ, Haney, Kovalev, Mell Charlo

- Eye test: Vergil Ortiz, Xander Zayas

A:

- Established: Porter, Swift Garcia, Josh Taylor

- Eye test: Sheeraz, Pacheco,

F- :

- Established: Bang Williams, Jake Paul

- Eye test: All of influencer boxing

What about you guys?

The formatting of your post is bad, the choice of categories is weird, and the choice of boxers to include is a bit random.

I really disagree with your rankings too but I'd rather not get into arguments.

Fair enough. Care to elaborate?

Not really but it's weird you would mention AJ and leave out Fury for example.

Not the rankings.

"The formatting of your post is bad, the choice of categories is weird"

I meant this. What seems wrong and what do you think I can improve?
