    Canelo would be #1 if his record was without stain. And it is, for good reason. If you go by the official judge results I'd agree he is number one.

    I'd love to know what more Usyk could have done to be P4P Number 1 because I can't think of it. He beat the 3 best cruiserweights IN A ROW. And he beat them comfortably. Bellew, Breidis and Gassiev are all amazing fighters. And you can say Bellew was past it. He was, and he still held his own in there and that shows he was still a solid opponent for Usyk. To beat all 3 in a row is unheard of.

    And to those saying Loma hasn't fought anybody...Rigo and Gary Russell aren't too shabby. Those two are ELITE fighters. Not world level, but elite. Yes, Rigo was going up two weights. But that doesn't mean he was out of his depth. We are talking about a fighter who was a DOUBLE world champion and a DOUBLE olympic gold medallist. And Loma toyed with him. You can't do any more than that.

    Who has Canelo faced who is at that level? Golovkin had a good amateur career but NOTHING anywhere near that. And he only just edged past GGG in the second fight, and was clearly beaten in the first fight. I had the first fight to GGG (Most did) and I had the second fight a draw. Canelo is hardly special.

    Usyk and Loma deserve 1st and 2nd, in whatever order you think. Canelo is top 5 without a doubt after the Jacobs win, but top of the pile? No way.

    Plus he beat them in their own backyard without the benefit of home cooking unlike your friendly neighbourhood Canelo.

    I guess the other point is that P4P number one is always up for debate, it's the nature of it.

    Briedies is better than Jacob's. Gassiev was in his prime when Usyk beat him. Unlike GGG. And it wasnt a robbery either.

    Do u mean this Jacobs?:

    & I love how you're all over GGG now when u spent years calling him a 'bum killer' who would get destroyed by CEJ :lol: ****ing CEJ!!

    Even worse:

    :lol:

    So Kovalevs win over Cleverly (a B- level LHW) who no one even rates is better..

    Your words! You clown yourself constantly..

    Want your GGG 'bum' quotes now too for extra self pawnage??? LOL

    Some nerve you... I honestly don't know if you're genuinely ******ed or just enjoy humiliating yourself!

    Dino's gonna dino.

    It's just how he rolls.

    Get him started on the K-brothers if you want some entertainment.

    Nobody takes him too seriously.

    Placing someone at #1 P4P means he'd beat everyone else if they were the same size. Who actually believes Canelo would be able to beat Lomachenko or Crawford if size wasn't a factor? I fail to grasp how on earth one can think something so absurd.

    Wake me up when Crawford beats somebody with a pulse.

    Usyk is p4p #1 no debate.

    And Usyk also beat them without getting popped for PED’s too :) Something that POS you replied to thinks people forgot.

    Right fair point!! Crawford struggled with Jose Benivdez the same man who struggled with Herrera.. We saw what Vergil Ortiz did to Herrera this past weekend,, Crawford is hugely overrated! Its like boxing fans just jump on the bandwagon anytime the commentators say to........
