    Out of Terence Crawford, Oleksander Usyk, Josh Taylor and Canelo Alvarez who had the best competition to become undisputed in their weight class?

    Imo Usyk is In first followed by Taylor and Canelo with Bud in last.

    Usyk by far. It's actually very easy question and I agree with your opinion.

    1. Usyk
    2. Taylor
    3. Canelo
    4. Crawford

    Usyk and Taylor. Taylor faced a lot of tough undefeated guys and Usyk faced everyone in their own backyard and dominated them

    Usyk easily. He went to all his opponent's backyards and outclassed them. Canelo is at the bottom as I think his opposition was the weakest (not his fault) and everything was in his favour.

    I'd put Taylor above Crawford because Prograis and Baranchyk are two nice wins compared to Indongo.

    1. Usyk
    2. Taylor
    3. Crawford
    4. Canelo

    How long til somebody comes in and tries to claim that CW was nothing but bums that nobody knew about until Usyk beat them.

    Dunno if he would, but could you imagine if Usyk were to beat Fury? WOW

    He would be the first and probably only twice undisputed champion. Maybe a superstar like canelo can unify LHW or MW but Usyk doesn’t have the same star power.

    Canelo had the most fanfare and promoters moved heaven and earth to accomodate him.

    Don't think there are many who don't have 1) Usyk and 2) Taylor.
    Maybe 3) Alvarez and 4) Crawford can be switched if you think Alvarez got everything thrown in his lap.
