Pound-for-pound best: Gennady Golovkin wins vote ahead of Andre Ward with Kell Brook in seventh

Gennady Golovkin could be facing Saul Alvarez next year

Gennady Golovkin is the world's pound-for-pound best, according to YOU.

The unbeaten middleweight knockout master ran out a clear winner after we set up a fight fan ranking on the back of our pundits' personal top 10s.

None of Carl Froch, Johnny Nelson, Paul Smith or Glenn McCrory made Golovkin their top dog but with over a quarter-of-a-million boxing fans getting involved, the man topping the bill on the Sky Sports Box Office event at The O2 on September 10, was way ahead of the rest.

Light-heavyweight rivals Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev came second and third respectively with America's Terence Crawford pipping Britain's new favourite, Carl Frampton, by just three votes to take fourth.

The Jackal though wasn't Britain's only world champion to make the all-important top 10... step forward Kell Brook. The Special One came in at seven suggesting that that he is not only popular but could also pose some serious questions to Golovkin on September 10.

Tyson Fury was one of only three of the original 13 that didn't make the cut, even if all four of our experts put him high up their lists.
