Ryan Garcia fumes at omission from Ring Magazine's new pound-for-pound rankings after Devin Haney win
dailyrecord.co.ukRyan Garcia has vented his frustration with Ring Magazine's new boxing pound-for-pound list after he was left out of the rankings in the wake of his shock upset win over Devin Haney last Saturday.The 25-year-old went into the bout as a huge underdog against fellow American star Haney, who came into the ring as the seventh best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, having previously captured the undisputed lightweight world champion title with high-profile victories against Vasyl Lomachenko and Regis Prograis to become a two-weight world champion.
But in a surprising contest, Garcia knocked down Haney three times en route to a majority decision points win. This led to Haney being removed from Ring Magazine's new pound-for-pound top ten, but Garcia did not take his place.
Instead, the three boxers below Haney moved up a position and Japan's Junto Nakatani entered in tenth spot. Nakatani recently became a three-weight world champion, reigning at flyweight, super-flyweight and now bantamweight.
Undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford currently tops the list, with fellow superstars Naoya Inoue, Canelo Alvarez, Oleksandr Usyk and Dimitry Bivol also amongst the top 10 in the pound-for-pound rankings.
