Jamahal Hill names his top 5 boxers in the UFC

Jamahal Hill has tackled the debate on the best boxers in the UFC.

With Francis Ngannou’s incredible success against WBC champion Tyson Fury in their crossover boxing match in Saudi Arabia – which included a knockdown, the discussion has sparked back up.

Years prior, former UFC dual-champion Conor McGregor put up a valiant effort against Floyd Mayweather before he ultimately was stopped.

In a 2021 interview with MMA Junkie, former light heavyweight champion Hill declared himself the best boxer in the UFC – and his opinion still stands.

But who are the other four who made his top five? Scroll below to find out whom Hill picked in his interview with The Schmo.
