The only P4P list that we need to be concerned with is CBS Sports. The other lists have obviously gone mental. https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/ne...op-five-with-another-win-over-anthony-joshua/
But Canelo already owns 2 divisions. Went up to fight Bivol and has more than 3 times the resume. You can't call Bivol p4p until he settles up at 175 with Beterbiev.
Beat Wlad who was undefeated for over a decade in his own back yard who then came close to knocking AJ out over 18 months later Wilder biggest puncher in the division.......... again spanked in his own back yard One man stopped Chisora in a one sided beat down the last time they met, the other man was taken the distance. Usyk is a truly brilliant top tier ELITE fighter. The deserved P4P #1............. but he's the number 2 man in the HW division. Not a single stoppage at HW to his name yet, needs more than a win over AJ to overtake Fury I'm afraid.
Canelo can own someone ***, just that. He lost twice to GGG. I don't give a hot crap what the judges score the fight, when this troll is always getting pre-filled card with 4-0 at least. If his matches was judged correctly he wouldn't have even been in top 10, so be quiet.
Come close or not come close doesn't matter. All that matter is either a fight is a WIN or a Lose. And yeah your boy run into retirement, instead of facing motivated Wlad, who has night off, and was 40 years old already. Wilder its biggest tomato crasher, nothing more. He hasn't fought 1/10 of the top guys in the division, so he can't claim anything at all.
PFP’s don’t get thoroughly schooled by guys one division north of their natural weight. Canelo was outclassed and had no answer for Bivol’s beat down. He just kept doing the same things that weren’t working. I was surprised by how poorly he performed and how thoroughly he was outclassed. If he was sparked out in one round, it would have been less embarrassing because his opponent was slightly bigger. That was not the case, he was given a boxing lesson by a guy he was expected to beat. At least by oddsmakers and most “experts” and fans. Congrats on finding the only list that ranks Canelo so high. He was exposed during the Bivol fight and I would be shocked if he ever fought Bivol again at any weight. Bivol would do the same thing again and Canelo would have no answer. PFP guys should at least be able to make it interesting but that was a one sided affair by a superior boxer. Deny it all you wish but there aren’t enough steroids or Clen in the world to change the outcome if they meet again. Don’t sweat it, I’d be shocked if Canelo ever agreed to fight Bivol again. He knows what would happen.
This is CBS's rankings from May this year, so that's after Usyk annexed all AJ's belts from him 1. Canelo Alvarez 2. Errol Spence 3. Terence Crawford 4. Naoya Inoue 5. Tyson Fury 6. Vasiliy Lomachenko 7. Shakur Stevenson 8. Oleksandr Usyk 9. Dmitry Bivol 10. Gervonta Davis They had Shakur ranked above him. Shakur didn't deserve to be ranked anywhere near the CW Usyk let alone this version
That's what I mean, he could be anywhere between 1-5, and I wouldn't argue, but if he was not #1 before this fight, why on Earth would this fight (against someone he already handled with success) move him up? There shouldn't have been any movement at all.
The man who has a record of 57-2-2 over 3 weight classes has a better resume than a guy with 19 fights at one weight. Not even trying to hate on Bivol but Canelo has done far more P4P.
McDonnell was a multi time champion who outweighed Inoue by 13 pounds rehydrated (144 to 131). By % that's a similarly large weight gap to 22 pounds. AJ is better than McDonnell but Inoue KOd McDonnell in 1 and Usyk won a competitive decision.
