Curmel Moton, at the age of 17, is making waves in the boxing scene. Since his debut last September, he’s captured the attention of the boxing world with just two professional fights. His performances, marked by two impressive victories, have instilled confidence in both fans and himself. His wins were so impressive that fans are already clamoring to watch him fight his third opponent. But is there a third fight on the horizon?

Being the protégé of arguably one of the greatest boxers ever, Floyd Mayweather, Moton certainly has a lot of knowledge about the intricacies of the sweet science. Thus, it makes sense that fans asked his opinion about the top 5 boxers in the sport now. Here’s what the young featherweight prodigy had to say about his list of top pound-for-pound boxers. So what names found their way into the list?

Curmel Moton names Shakur over Inoue

Recently, Curmel Moton took to social media to make a post about a Q&A session. In this tweet, he simply wrote, “Q&A,” to allow his fans to ask him questions about his opinion on things. The fans had a variety of questions to ask of the young boxer. However, one question stood out. One fan asked him to share the list of the top five pound-for-pound boxers in the current era of boxing.

Answering the question, his list placed Terence Crawford at the very top with Devin Haney placed in the runner-up position. Next, he gave the third position to the Baltimore native, Gervonta Davis. Interestingly, he chose to place Shakur Stevenson in the fourth position despite his recent performance, a point which several fans pointed out. Moton concluded the list with the Japanese super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue placed in the fifth position.
