Teddy Atlas has revealed the ten fighters that make up his current pound-for-pound list.
The legendary trainer-turned-analyst is no stranger to voicing his opinion about the biggest and best names in the sport, something Atlas has done for multiple media platforms during his career in the sport.
The sport has produced an abundance of world class fighters throughout the last decade, many of whom have staked their claims for being included in the coveted pound-for-pound rankings.
Unbeaten trio Oleksandr Usyk, Naoya Inoue and Terence Crawford appear to be the names on most peoples lips when naming the top three fighters on the planet, although an argument could also be made for the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Dmitry Bivol and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez to name a few.
Speaking on social media recently, Atlas released his current pound-for-pound top ten, which includes a couple of names that may come as a surprise.

Atlas looks to have included newly-crowned WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney in his list following the 27-year-old’s impressive victory over Brian Norman Jr on November 22.
There is no surprise that light-heavyweight duo Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev find themselves in Atlas’ rankings after proving themselves to be two of the greatest fighters of their generation.
‘Bam’ Rodriguez moved one step closer to becoming the undisputed super-flyweight champion last weekend when he stopped Fernando Martinez in the 10th round of their Saudi Arabia showdown to unify the WBC, WBA and WBO world titles at 115lbs.
Reigning WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, who remains unbeaten in 24 bouts, is gearing up to make the jump to 140lbs as he prepares to challenge WBO super-lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez in the first quarter of 2026.
And as for the top three, the outstanding accolades of Usyk, Crawford and Inoue speak for themselves. Whilst many consider to be Ukrainian heavyweight icon Usyk to be the best overall, you could also argue that both ‘Bud’ and ‘The Monster’ belong at number one after their outstanding success over the years.
