    Just curious, as I've seen it alot recently.

    So can anybody who has Crawford top 3 or higher explain?
    Furthermore, can you explain why Spence is top 10?
    For me my list looks like this,

    After tonight I may swap Beterbeiv for the winner, I also might not.
    Winner of Kovalev - Canelo moves up, Canelo to number 1, Kovalev to 8ish.


    But as for Spence, I don't think his wins over Garcia and Porter are impressive enough to be a staple of a top 10 pfp list.
    Especially considering that Garcia was coming up from LW.

    Crawford has done very impressive things so far in his career, 3 weight champ, undisputed 140lber but he hasn't had a decent win since 2017. He's up there on the eye test, H2H potential and his recent achievements, but not enough to be top 3 imo.

    Your top 10 is pretty spot on. :thumbsup: Lomachenko and Usyk definitely deserve the #1 and #2 spots. As for crawford and spence... they probably put those two in there to shut them the **** up and prevent too much whining. They’re nicer than me. Lol

    Good list.

    Personally I think Crawford is top 5 not 3 due to lack of quality opponents and he’s still not facing the top dogs at 147.

    Spence is starting to get the top names but he should be top 10 imo.

    If it was to keep going I'd say he'd be between 11&13, can you explain who he'd be above from my list?

    I'm not judging I'm just confused as the reasoning

    Exactly, Crawford and Spence should be 9 and 10 and have to fight each other to move up 1 spot to 8.

    So is Loma, So is Garcia, So is Inoue and Broner, so is Gonzalez.

    Any other reasons?

    I don't know why everyone always rates Usyk so highly, I'm not trying to be a troll but I just don't think he is that great.

    I’d take him over Estrada, I think he’s going to improve over the next 12months.

    Brook, Porter, Garcia and noe Danny Garcia is solid.

    The two Americans ring rankings are a bias joke

    Canelo has stepped in with 5 or so opponents better than anyone Lomachenko or Usyk or Inoue have.

    You and the lot massively underrate him and if you do at this point, you always will.

    I feel like the top 5 is pretty concrete, in whatever order:
    Canelo
    Lomachenko
    Inoue
    Crawford
    Usyk

    I feel like you can stack his resume against them, to be fair.

    Quantity adds. His opposition has been slightly overly hated on, though I agree with the seemingly general sentiment. Comparing the lows of their lows, Crawford stacks up. It is all about the resume. But we do also watch the route it gets there.
