Usyk Number 4 P4P according to ESPN

This list is a disgrace. Spence and Crawford should be suspended from the list until they fight each other. Even then, the winner would not rank above Usyk. He’s the top PFP on the planet by a long stretch. I hate these lists, they are usually a popularity contest. If Usyk isn’t top spot now, he never will be. It’s an insult to any fight fans with a brain.

 

Are you kidding he's beat a bunch of names like Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Jeff Horn, Kavaliauskas, Benavidez and to top it off he's beaten them dominantly.

Crawford's resume at 147 is lightyears better than Usyk's at HW.

 

They were literally (with the exception of Horn) all past their prime. A man with a bum leg, a man with a broken face and a 34 year old war torn shell.

 

ESPN has Fury under contract don't they? ESPN is a dumpster fire of a network to begin with. They actively try to destroy every sport aside from Football and Basketball.

 

Ah yes half retired Shawn Porter who was past his prime
Kell Brook who already got his career near ended by GGG and then near ended by Spence again
Jeff Horn who was never an elite welterweight
Yes that resume is just spectacular lol

 

Lol better than beating only 1 top guy by decision when Ruiz already KHTFO

You think Usyk's heavyweight resume is better than Crawford's WW resume then YDKSAB

 

Clearly number 1

He has been for ages

 

So many excuses.

In that case AJ got ruined by Ruiz before Usyk ever got to him.

 

Great post & ill add to him only fighting the guy's he knew he would be expected to beat & it's also the reason why he has saved Crawford for last, So when he does lose he can at least have something to fall back on had he not captured the other 3 belts beforehand, It definitely makes His Accolades seem "Larger" especially to all the Stat lovers out there while also lessening the final blow to when he faces a Loss on his Record,

"While being Huge for the weight class along with never fighting a Puncher let alone one his own size" = Perfect.

 

Add to that Horn wasn't really a Champion now was he.

 

Agree but even when they are not destroying Basketball they definitely spend most of their time disparaging the NBA Player's on a daily basis which in turn is just as distasteful.

 

Did AJ have permanant skull damage? Yes or no?

 

Unrelated to where I think Spence should be (I don't have him in the top 5) moving up or down weight classes has nothing to do with pound for pound ratings. It is simply, given a fighters skills who would be the best fighter if they were all the same weight.

 

No idea what you are talking about. They have their noses so far up the NBA's backside. They talk more about the NBA and NFL in the summer than they do about MLB.

 

Yeah they do, specifically only a handful of teams though in reality it's just 90% whatever Lebron is attached to while ignoring the rest of the Teams & Players in the League & at the same time choosing to over criticize only certain players along with them being bias while providing misinformation & jumping to false narratives week after week.
