Essential Boxing P4P Top 15 (March 2026)
We’ve seen some major shakeups in the boxing world over the last few months. Terence Crawford has retired, Ryan Garcia is a world champion again and Tyson Fury announced his return to the sport – but which fighters are sitting at the top of the mountain?
Of course, our rankings are always liable to change – don’t be surprised if this list looks completely different in a few weeks!
For clarification, we will only be looking at boxers who have picked up a win since January 2025 – anyone who hasn’t will not be considered for inclusion.
15. O’Shaquie Foster
Following an impressive unanimous decision win over Stephen Fulton back in December, O’Shaquie Foster sneaks into our P4P list in the #15 slot.
Foster’s jab is excellent – he used it to great effect against Fulton, shutting down his attacks and countering upon the creation of openings.
His defence can be found wanting, as he often forgets to tuck his chin – nevertheless, he negates most of this by being a naturally durable fighter who can absorb punishment when necessary.
14. Emmanuel Navarrete
Emmanuel Navarrete’s approach is unusual, to say the least – with flat feet and wild technique, he is quite the enigma in the sport’s current landscape.
Despite his obvious flaws, the results he produces cannot be questioned. Last time out, he completely destroyed the now-former IBF Super Featherweight Eduardo Nunez over the course of 11 rounds.
Against truly elite opposition, Navarette generally comes unstuck – however, his heavy hands and erratic style make him a tough opponent for anyone in the weight class.
13. Keyshawn Davis
Keyshawn Davis might not be the most savoury of personalities, but his skills in the ring cannot be ignored.
Wins over good fighters like Gustavo Daniel Lemos, Denys Berinchyk and Jamaine Ortiz give him a richly-deserved spot in our list – not only did he beat all three of those fighters, he beat them all within the distance.
At just 27 years of age, Davis is in prime position to rule over the boxing landscape for the next ten years – provided he doesn’t get in his own way.
12. Junto Nakatani
Previously, Junto Nakatani would’ve been a shoe-in for the top ten, but a lacklustre display last time out against Sebastian Hernandez saw his stock fall a bit.
We mean no disrespect to Hernandez – he put forth a colossal effort to push Nakatani to his limits. However, in the process, some of Nakatani’s weaknesses – like his lack of stamina and inside game – became obvious.
With that being said, Nakatani isn’t in this list for no reason. Utilising an unnaturally wide stance, the Japanese superstar often resembles a prime (albeit much smaller) Roy Jones Jr when he is at full tilt.
11. Raymond Muratalla
Raymond Muratalla surges into our pound-for-pound rankings after he picked up a highly impressive decision win over Olympic gold medallist Andy Cruz last month.
Previously, Muratalla has also defeated boxers such as Zaur Abdullaev and wily veteran Tevin Farmer – he has flown under the radar somewhat, but this could be a breakout year for Californian.
There are plenty of exciting fights awaiting him in the lightweight division – with any luck, we’ll see a unification mega-fight soon enough.
