Devin Haney is on the rise in the boxing world, but Oleksandr Usyk remains untouchable at the top. The new Top 10 pound-for-pound boxing rankings were released following the September clash between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez. Recent changes stirred interest as fans and analysts continued to debate the updates.
Terence Crawford's recent retirement and Canelo Alvarez's decline in both form and popularity have shaken up the rankings. Crawford ended his career on a high note, but age seemed to catch up with Alvarez, who now finds himself out of favor among many fans according to [ESPN's latest update](https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/47598558/men-boxing-pound-pound-rankings-new-king-no-1-familiar-face-returns-terence-crawford-retirement).
Oleksandr Usyk still stands strong at number one. The Ukrainian fighter's consistent performance and dominance leave little room for doubt about his position at the top. Following him is Naoya Inoue, whose explosive style has captivated audiences around the globe.
Devin Haney is making impressive strides in these rankings. Many believe his talent and work ethic are pushing him closer to challenging for a wider recognition at the top of the list.
In addition, Teofimo Lopez stepped back into prominence by climbing into these rankings after being unranked for some time. Fans eagerly await his upcoming bout against [Shakur Stevenson scheduled for January 31](https://www.ringtv.com/features/shakur-stevenson-vs-lopez-announced-april-20), which promises more thrilling action.
Looking ahead, excitement will continue building as David Benavidez gears up to face Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez on May 2. Fresh talents like these fighters keep boxing enthusiasts engaged with every punch thrown and every ranking updated!
