If Oleksandr Usyk Convincingly Beats Anthony Joshua...

Pretty much #1.

Certainly higher than manufactured Canelo.

 

Top or nearby.

 

Right up there.

Possibly #1.

I'll be mildly surprised if it happens and shocked if it happens twice, but there's no question that Usyk is exceptionally skilled... I just don't think this is a good fight for him.

 

P4P #1 no doubt and no one dethrones him or comes closer to doing it for quite a time unless they do something crazy or Usyk picks up a bad loss.

 

Top 3

 

It's so hard to decide because for the top 3 their achievements are very close.

I must say Canelo wins the eye test.

Inoue gets the consistency vote.

Usyk, into moving up, had been so much better than his opponents he made it look easy.

Which is the better win, an aging Donaire that rolled back the clock, a slightly past prime GGG (in the second fight), or the flawed AJ?

Then you have to factor in the huge weight jump and the size disadvantage come fight night...

If AJ had never been beaten before it would be a clear yes, but the way he lost to Ruiz and how cautious he was in his comeback make a win over him less valuable than the other two. So I'd say he stays 3rd in my eyes.

If he subsequently beat Wilder or Fury he then would be number 1

 

He goes 1.

 

1

 

He will be #3 after #1 Andy Ruiz and #2 Tyson Fury.

 

#1 or #2

Joshua deserves to enter the bottom of of the top 10 should he win

 

Obviously #1

Canelo is impressive but he still lost 2x against Golovkin

 

Just look at all the names in different weight divisions Canelo has beaten. How can he not be your #1?

Look at his record, let it sink in.

 

If Usyk beats AJ clear then it's very hard to argue against him being P4P #1

 

Number 1.

Undisputed at cruiser, unified heavy and undefeated.
