    If any one of these happens, it give a clear pfp number 1:

    1. Crawford v. Spence
    2. Spence v. Canelo
    3. Lomachenko v. Davis
    4. Usyk v. Wilder (for Usyk)
    5. Canelo v. Callum Smith/Gvoz/Bivol (for Canelo)

    Inoue and Estrada both look assed out to me due to lack of serious comp (no chance in hell of Estrada beating Inoue.)

    Any others?

    Spence would be number 1 if he clearly beat Crawford. Crawford is consenus top 3 already and a dominant fighter.

    Canelo's resume is so good already that beating Spence would probably put him over. It's not that fight alone.

    Spence vs Crawford has to be it.

    Spence-Alvarez is interesting but Errol would have to go up at minimum 2 divisions to fight him which doesn't seem realistic at this point. It's never a good idea to jump so many divisions immediately but if he did beat Alvarez, it would catapult him greatly.

    I still think Loma is the #1 guy P4P right now but his options aren't that great between 126-135 lbs. 147-160 is filled with a lot of talent and any fighters that can clean out their divisions up there can climb up the rankings quickly.

    Beating Spence won't do anything for Canelo as beating Garcia did nothing for Spence. Spence shouldn't even be on any p4p lists as it is.

    Unless they do something truly incredible, noone's taking over the P4P seat from Lomachenko. Crawford could make a case, perhaps, if he moved up and beat Canelo, or Davis could unseat Loma by beating him. That's about it. Other suggested match ups simply help re-arrange the #2 - #10 spots in the P4P list.

    Garcia helped Spence's resume. Garcia is definitely a top ten welter. I have a hunch that Spence can fight at 160 though.

    Does loma vs Davis prove much?

    I feel loma would be the overwhelming favorite. I guess loma is 1 or 2 depending on who you ask so I guess he doesn't need much more push

    Loma beating a shorter 130 pounder whose best win is Pedraza won't clear anything up. Davis doesn't have the resume. Loma beating Garcia, or the Prograis vs Taylor winner definitely would though.

    He doesn't need much of a push like KO Kidd said. Those fights would also do it on Loma's end at least. Davis would be Loma's best win imo, above Russel.

    Inoue beating Donaire Nery and moving up to KO Navarette will put him at no.1
    I don’t give Donaire and Nery much of a hope..
