This table lists the current pound-for-pound rankings of The Ring magazine (the self-proclaimed "Bible of Boxing", owned by Golden Boy Promotions Inc.), which some boxing experts and fans regard as an authoritative source for ranking the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. Floyd Mayweather Jr had been ranked number-one in The Ring's P4P rankings from 2005 until he announced his retirement on June 6, 2008, after which he was replaced by Manny Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather Jr was preceded by Bernard Hopkins, who was in turn preceded by Roy Jones Jr.
