For the seventh-straight time, Vasiliy Lomachenko continues as the BWAA’s pound-for-pound king. Lomachenko again outdistanced Terence Crawford, who held the No. 1 position for the first two BWAA’s pound-for-pound polls, which are selected by BWAA members from respected news outlets and is broken down based on a descending points system, with a first-place vote receiving 10 points, a second-place vote receiving nine points and so on. Ties go to the fighter with the most votes.
