Who is the best fighter on the planet?

We ask a panel of experts who is the best fighter on the planet

Who is the best fighter on the planet?
Michael Sterling Eaton/Neo Nostalgia

Tony Bellew (WBC cruiser champion):

The most destructive is Gennady Golovkin, but I think the most complete fighter on the planet is Andre Ward.

Frankie Gavin (Ex-British and C’wealth titlist):

That’s really tough, there are so many top fighters. It’s between Golovkin and Ward for me. I’ll have to go with Golovkin, he’s a brilliant fighter.

David Price (Heavyweight contender):

Ward, I think he beats everyone in and around his weight, he’s that good. He’s very savvy, very smart and he just does everything so well.

Tony Dodson (Ex-British super-middle boss):

It’s tough. I’d say the two most skilful fighters on the planet are Vasyl Lomachenko and Guillermo Rigondeaux. They’re the two best in the world in my opinion.
