Loma and Usyk are p4p 1 and 2, both from the same trainer and both know each other from young age.

    I still find it unbelievable that two guys that lived 100miles away from each other, know each other from a fairly young age and shared the same boxing trainer are now the two best fighters in the world.

    Lomachenko #1. Usyk isn't over Inoue though.

    I thought Gvozdzyk joined the party a bit late, but I never knew Usyk and Gvozdzyk knew each other from young age, thanks for the fun fact! Three special fighters, Gvozdzyk just needs a win over Badou and Bivol to be p4p top 5, I think he beats both of them as well.

    I have no idea actually.:lol: I know all three of them have been friends for quite some time, Gvozdyk has probably known them both since they were all teens, not sure of the date. Maybe @minemax can help us out.

    Teddy Atlas has Gvozdyk in his ESPN P4P top 10. Yeah I'm sure some smart ass suffering from an acute case of UE (Ukrainian Envy) is going to respond to that with ''but but Atlas obviously going to be biased because he's his trainer, doe'' (in fact, they'll probably get it wrong and say he's bias as opposed to biased because that's how dumb these Ukrainian Envy clowns are) but anyone who knows anything about Teddy knows that he is both a man of integrity and conviction and he couldn't tell a lie or be dishonest if his life depended on it. If he has him in his top 10 it's because he feels he's earned his place on merit.

    So that's 3 Ukrainians in the P4P#10. You're just going to have to learn to come to terms with and accept that FACT Ukrainian Envy crybabies lol

    TBF teddy can be a bit of an insufferable dolt. But in this case it has some merit regardless

    I was pretty sure, not sure the exact year they all hooked up, but Anatoly Lomachenko trained all three of them from a fairly young age.
