Highly rated Guillermo Rigondeaux reveals who he believes to be the best pound for pound boxer in the world today is.
Many boxing fans will have Rigondeaux himself somewhere on their top ten pound for pound list. He is gearing up at the moment for a fight this December with a man considered to be one of the very best, Vasyl Lomachenko.

The winner of that fight could very well find himself sitting on top of the mythical list:
