Dan Rafael Sparks CONTROVERSY With His Pound For Pound List

Written by Jared Parry on 24th May 2022.

The ever outspoken, but highly respected Dan Rafael has spaked a debate amongst fans on Twitter as he posted his Pound for Pound rankings on Twitter. 

Rafael's list was headed by Errol Spence Jr. Spence does hold three of the four world titles at welterweight respectively but fans do not believe he is the best pound for pound boxer.

"Who paid you to put Spence first? I feel like you were pressured into doing that." Said one Twitter user. And another agreed by tweeting: "Spence no.1? how many weight classes did he fight at? how many weight classes did he become a champion at? how many weight classes did he become the undisputed champion? how many WBSS boxing did he win? how many olympic gold medal did he win? I can answer all these Q with Usyk."

Another prominent name in the comments was WBA Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, with people questioning why he hadn't made the list. "Just a question. Why no tank?" Asked a Twitter user, whilst another asked: "No love for Gervonta Davis?"

In contrast, their was a handful of people who defended Rafael's list. "The best one I seen so far" said a Twitter user, followed up by another user stating "I think this is a decent list. I don’t understand Fury over Usyk but no one can doubt @DanRafael1 boxing knowledge."

Do you agree with Rafael's list? If not what would you change?
