Predict the future p4p #1.

Inoue no doubt!!

 

Kovalev or Golovkin

 

Lomachenko, Crawford, Gonzalez, Usyk

 

Loma and Gonzales have the best chances. Crawford cannot maintain his record at 147 and Usyk is in a lame division where no one fights no one.

 

golovkin , anyone thinking different is just lying to themselves .

 

Why not? If he can conquer the premier weight class, he'll clearly be p4p number 1.

He's following the same route as other greats, usually starting around 130-135 pounds and climbing up to WW.

 

He can, but I find that unlikely. At 147 you always have the risk of encountering someone who should really fight at 154 but fights at 147 for the $$ and often they are too much to handle for guys who are natural super/lightweights. I don't think Crawford can be THAT guy to rule 147, not for a long time anyway.

 

Lomachenko or Rigo (if he sticks around)

 

Usyk will be moving up once he get the WBO title, and Crawford may not be a KO artist at 147 but he may as well be the best of post may-pac era.

 

Be here if he fights Brook :hey

 

This thread was made 5 years ago and went 60+ posts deep with only one single vote for Mayweather. The top P4P fighters of now and the past year were assumed to be long retired at the point that thread and those predictions were made. Even after having seen how foolish some of them seem in retrospect, I will take the bait and say what I'm feeling at this random time on this random night. Top ten choices in relative order:

Roman Gonzalez
Andre Ward
Saul Alvarez
Terence Crawford
Naoya Inoue
Gennady Golovkin
Kazuto Ioka
Carl Frampton
Sergei Kovalev
Keith Thurman
