Top P4P USA fighters in February 2025 – including Gervonta Davis and Terence Crawford

Across history, the United States of America has dominated boxing. While their status has taken a hit in recent years, especially in the heavyweight division, they still remain the number one producer of top talents. 

Today, we’ll be evaluating each American boxer and ranking ten of the very best, based on stature and recent achievements. 

With great fighters such as Errol Spence Jr, Richardson Hitchins and Ryan Garcia just missing out, let’s begin. 

10. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis

Even though ‘Boots’ Ennis has already seen off some stern competition at this fledgling stage of his career, it still feels like we have only seen a fraction of what he is capable of. 

Ennis is no stranger to taking on tough fights against highly avoided talents – wins over Sergey Lipinets, David Avanesyan and Karen Chukhadzhian exemplify this. 

It remains to be seen how far he can go – but it’s safe to expect big things from the 27-year-old. 

9. Angelo Leo

Angelo Leo burst into the USA rankings with a brutal knockout win over Luis Alberto Lopez last year – it was a major statement of intent from the 30-year-old.

He hasn’t fought since, though he is expected to fight Tomoki Kameda in May. This should be a routine win – though it will also be an excellent way to see if Leo is just another flash in the pan. 

Some disapprove of his roughhouse tactics – indeed, he punches Lopez behind the head an uncomfortable amount of times. Despite this, he certainly isn’t the only fighter around who likes to bend the rules – and he certainly isn’t the only world champion who likes to dirty things up. 

8. Devin Haney

Once upon a time, Devin Haney would have been a lock for the top three of this list – however, his stock has fallen tremendously over the last year. 

Of course, we have to mention the Ryan Garcia fight. Yes, Garcia tested positive for a banned substance and came in overweight – but these factors cannot excuse the hellacious beating that Haney was on the receiving end of. 

Not only did it damage his reputation, perhaps irreparably, it also painted a blueprint for any fighters looking to take him on in the future. It’s a long way back to the top – but at just 26 years of age, he still has plenty of time to rebuild. 

7. Vergil Ortiz Jr

A massive puncher who faced his first genuine test in his last fight, Vergil Ortiz Jr will be given an even greater acid test on February 22 when he takes on Israil Madrimov.

This is a fight that could define the Texan’s career – Madrimov is coming off a loss against Terence Carwford. He won’t want to lose two in a row – but Ortiz will also be fiercely protective of his unblemished record. 

Ortiz has all the makings of a superstar. An exciting fighter who throws punches with bad intentions, his bouts are always worth watching. 

6. Stephen Fulton

Stephen Fulton has recovered from his devastating loss against Naoya Inoue and has returned to the island of relevancy with a pair of quality wins over Carlos Castro and Brandon Figueroa. 

While Fulton was thoroughly outclassed by Inoue, he will always be around the elite level – there is no shame in losing to one of the best fighters in the world. 

Currently the WBC featherweight world champion, fans will eagerly await his first title defence later this year. 

5. Teofimo Lopez

The brash Teofimo Lopez, backed up by his equally brash father, rubs some people the wrong way – but his talent as a boxer cannot be denied. 

On his day, Lopez is a truly elite talent – his greatest weakness is his own mind. He doesn’t always perform to the best of his ability and this has cost him in the past. 

Additionally, we can’t put him any higher than five, as his level of opposition as of late has been well below the expected standard. Steve Claggett? Really? We’re still scratching our heads at that one. 

4. Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis

Gervonta Davis should be higher in this list – however, due to the meagre quality of his opponents over the last few years, we can only put him as high as fourth.

It’s a crying shame, because Davis’ skillset could quite easily take him to the summit of the sport. He combines precise timing with blistering power to near perfection – but his skills have not been truly tested for a long, long time. 

His upcoming fight with Lamont Roach will do little to quell his critics – even an emphatic win will not silence them. They will only be content once he has beaten an elite talent. 

3. Shakur Stevenson

One of the most technically sound fighters in the world, Shakur Stevenson’s greatest downfall is his inability to capture the imagination of the American public. 

While not an ‘exciting’ fighter per se, he is extremely gifted and very defensively responsible. He can mix it up on the inside if he wants to (and is quite good at it), but rarely needs to. 

Additionally, like with a lot of American fighters, he has yet to have that one defining fight that everyone remembers. Stevenson vs Davis, anyone?

2. Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez

The legend killer himself, Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez has forced himself into P4P contention with excellent wins over the likes of Srisaket Sor Rungviasi, Sunny Edwards and Juan Francisco Estrada. 

At just 25, who knows how far this young man can go? His footwork is absolutely exquisite – he may have the fastest feet in boxing at the moment. 

Furthermore, how many divisions can he clear out? He’s only 5ft 4, but his power could carry him a long way. 

1. Terence Crawford

Some audiences consider Terence Crawford to be the best fighter in the world at the moment. We may not necessarily agree with this, but a strong case can certainly be made. 

Throughout Crawford’s career, it is difficult to pinpoint a moment where he has looked to be in any sort of trouble – he has largely dominated every opponent he has faced. 

His critics will point out the shallow nature of his resume – but he can only beat what is put in front of him. This is not his failing – it is the fault of Bob Arum, who has time and time again put him up against lesser opposition. 

Now that we are in the twilight of his career, he’s finally picking up major victories – his last two fights, against Errol Spence Jr. and Israil Madrimov, were especially impressive.
