    What can I say. I eat my crow, I thought Fulton would take more chances and use his feet more instead of being right in front of Inoue. Move over Usyk, there's a new Sheriff in town. I give Inoue the Miyagi Bow.

    He certainly is.

    Crawford is great, but he's not going through the weights like Inoue does.

    It's between him and Usyk and I'm really not bothered either way which one you have at the top. Both great.

    I'm more of an Usyk fan, but I have to say that p4p #1 is Inoue, he's more dominant and Usyk is past his best while Inoue is still prime.

    Usyk is too inactive to be PfP No. 1. Anthony Joshua has been his only serious opponent since 2018.

    I'd still put him in the top 5-7 but he's falling.

    I voted that Inoue would win, but I had to root for the hometown fighter. Naoya P4P #1.

    Now that this fight is in the books, this fight might be the most even fight there's been in a long while.

    Absolutely. The only debate is whether he should have been even before this fight and if he should stay so even if Crawford wins on Saturday. I think so on both counts.

    He was before this fight already a three division champ and the only active fighter being undisputed three weights above where he took his first belt. I think that should have given him the nr. 1 spot already and tonights demolition should keep him there, at least unless Crawford is even more dominant.

    He's destroying other champions like they are standing still. No one else in boxing is really dominating in the same fashion.

    Most all-round talented boxer in the sport today, no doubt.

    Usyk: too old, too inactive, only serious opponent in the last few years is Joshua
    Crawford: fights bums and washed up old men
    Spence: too inactive

    I don't see how anyone can have someone other than Naoya Inoue as P4P No. 1
