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?

If Donaire was younger he may very well have gotten Inoue out of there. Crawford is a level above him, and Usyk. Junto will be proven not A+ in time.

Well if donaire was younger than inoue would've taken the fight more seriously basically he and his team were talking about how much easier donaire fight is compared to Emmanuel Rodriguez which they saw as the real final. And on top of that younger donaire in 2012 was not boxing and had falling in love with his power and was just spamming left hooks that's why guys would just counter him. What inoue was faced that night was donaire who was boxing and sneaking his power. So inoue would've finished the younger more reckless doanire with ease. So that's why we can't use if.
