    I agree. I still think he can squeeze his way into the top 5 however. It's impressive he won every belt, but Crawford did that too, Crawford also moved up to win another belt. Crawford is in the top 3. so is loma.

    i havent seen enough of usyk(still) to feel confident in placing him anywhere in the top 5 p4p. not because he shouldnt be there, his skill is obvious, but because he is looking awesome against fighters who dont look all that impressive, relatively speaking, in comparison to guys who beat top fighters in multiple divisions or fellow p4pers. usyk looks great against the collection of fighters available in his division at this present time, but theres no holyfields or even hayes in that division right now, imo.

    I agree crawfords win of all the belts at 140 + one at 147 is more impressive than UYSK so far. Uysk did do something special winning every belt.

    Also for LHW who is the best in the world for what they have done not what they could or should have done. I'd say it's Alvarez he has a knockout win over a top 5 guy. no one else active has done that at least recently.

    both orders are acceptable in my honest opinion. I can't see an argument for either of them not being in the top 2

    And I can roll with that 100% too. But to me top 2 p4p is set in stone with those 2 in whatever order.

    Its hard to get a good resume when you straight embarrass everyone and naje world champs quit on their stool.

    I have Crawford at 1, but beating Dulorme, Postol & Indongo (all in the US or his home town) for all the belts is not better than beating, Glowacki (in Poland), Briedis (in Latvia) & Gassiev (in Moscow Russia). Not by a long shot.

    Garcia is your argument. More fights more KO's more belts.

    Gassiev punches a whole **** ton harder than Nicholas Walters. Plus hes active and was leveling top guys.

    Look you're a great poster and I wasnt taking a shot at you, but before the Gassiev fight I didnt even have Usyk in my p4p top 10, most posters had him 8-10 if they had him p4p at all. He put on a GREAT performance against Gassiev and does have a better resume than Loma or Crawdad but I just cant shoot him up to #1 or #2 after one fight.

    I can. Hes a better fighter than either and arguably has the best resume.

    I disagree with your assertion although not completely but i cant say youre an idiot like some of the nonsense spewed on here by many. I think you make a somewhat fair point.
