This table lists the current pound-for-pound rankings of The Ring magazine (the self-proclaimed "Bible of Boxing"), which some boxing experts and fans regard as an authoritative source for ranking the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.[1] Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been ranked number-one in The Ring's P4P rankings since 2005. He was preceded by Bernard Hopkins, who was in turn preceded by Roy Jones Jr.
