    I’d rate Loma vs Mikey a more defining fight.

    Spence won’t be #1 for beating Crawford. Crawford May be #1 for beating Spence due to him being the smaller guy.

    Spence can’t take 1 anytime soon, he’d need to beat Porter and then either Pac/Crawford and THEN move up and beat a legit champ like GGG or Canelo. Guy should be at MW anyways.

    Usyk beating Wilder May have a case.

    I agree with Inoue, he would need to beat Donaire, Rigo, GRJ and even someone like tank imo to take #1. I don’t rate the Roman Gonzales or estrada’s.

    If Usyk beats the human windmill who has only one tool in his kit (right hand)it makes him a P4P? But not if the one handed windmill-wonder beats Usyk, a guy with several tools in his kit?

    If WIlder beats a Usyk that proved to beat other HW's to get a title shot, I'd consider putting a washable tatoo of him on my lunchbox!

    Spence vs Crawford

    Kovalev vs Canelo (for Canelo)
    Lomachenko vs Garcia or Tank (for Loma)
    Inoue vs Nerry (for Inoue)
    Usyk vs Ruiz (For Ruiz)

    Canelo ain't getting pound for pound number 1 off me because he failed a drug test.

    This,
    but ATM I feel Inoue on what he's done is p4p no1 Crawford v Spence won't put either guy ahead of Inoue.
    Usyk & Loma are better p4p than both Crawford & Spence even if thay fight.

    Inoue vs both Nery and Tete would put him up there. If Estrada or SSR moves up at any point after completing their own trilogy and faces Inoue then that could be another contender for a #1 spot. That or if Ioka beats either of them, he's top notch himself, had him winning the Nietes fight personally and he's so damn talented.

    Jumping two divisions to beat a top 2 sort of guy from any of Canelo, Lomachenko, or Inoue would probably seal that for many. Usyk taking out Ruiz or Wilder would be huge for him. Crawford beating Spence, too, but not the other way around probably. If Estrada beat Inoue... Those six guys seem shoulders above the rest (maybe forgetting one?).

    Lomachenko has already established himself as the clear P4P #1.

    Wrong all over the place.

    Inoue has beaten nobody to be pfp number 1. I won't even touch the other stuff you wrote.

    Inoue would take Ioka out in about a round. Huge size difference.
