Boxing Pound-for-Pound Rankings: Josh Taylor enters the fray after unifying; Canelo Alvarez holds at No. 1

The new undisputed king at 140 pounds has quietly putting together a fantastic resume with eyes on bigger fights

It's time to give "The Tartan Tornado" his flowers.  After hovering close to the top 10 rankings in recent years, Josh Taylor (18-0, 13 KOs) finally made it to the pound-for-pound party following a brilliant unanimous decision win over fellow unified junior welterweight champion Jose Ramirez in their long-awaited undisputed championship bout.  Becoming just the second fighter in the four-belt era to win all four titles at 140 pounds, Taylor showcased a perfect balance between boxer and puncher as he floored Ramirez twice and largely kept the fight on his own terms by taking away his opponent's jab and operating in the mid-range.
