    No he's not. I don't think he's better than either. Just fights at a weaker division

    Cruiserweight is weak now sure but around the time of the first super series it was the most talented division other than 115 imo

    Yea, i am going to strongly disagree there.
    Breidis is clearly levels above Porter and Fulton. If anything, those two are more on the same level as Chisora.
    *Edit: I just remembered that Spence barely beat Porter. So that says a lot about Spence.

    This. I couldn’t even imagine these two warriors demanding ***** ass rehydration clauses in any fight like Tank or a few others do. :rolleyes: SMH

    Usyk just whooped a damn good 6’9 Lineal HW champion that had over 40lbs on him. Case closed!!

    PFP#1 Indeed! Dr Feel is the best.

    Well it's official now according to The Ring rankings and rightfully so

    How can anyone even argue otherwise given everything he's achieved, the huge physical advantages he's routinely giving away, the murderer's row of punchers he's fought, many way bigger than him, and having won and unified every single one of his world titles at CW and HW in his opponent's backyards or on the road and only ever having home advantage in one world title fight (and it wasn't even in his home country) and every single one of his fights at the world level being fought in his opponent's backyards or on the road sans that one fight?

    Kinda this. Loma is way underweight and beat Haney. That’s more impressive than anything Inoue has done.

    Haha Shawn Porter and Stephen Fulton are on the same level as gate keeper old Derek Chisora

    This is outrageous.

    Yes, he definitely is.
    Yes. All three are great fighters, and Alvarez too, although his haters will deny it.

    But right now, after last night's fight, Usyk belongs at the top of the P4P list.

    I didn´t quite mean that they are on the same level exactly. I mean they aren´t that much better. The reason Chisora has 13 losses is because he constantly fights/fought the best. Porter and Fulton never fought as many top contenders as Chisora.
    IMO opinion, they are not that much better.

    Ffs, you claimed Breidis is on the same level as Porter :lol:. He is clearly way better.

    What would Inoue need to do to reclaim the P4P #1 title? Move up to 126 and win a title there? Fight and beat Akhmadaliev?

    Inoue could unify at 126, KOing everyone he faces at that division, and people would still say he's overrated.

    Porter fought everyone in his era and is better than Briedis. Fulton is better too. The Chisora comparison is laughable. Chisora is a gatekeeper.

    Shawn Porter is better than Briedis. You guys overrate these fighters in these obscure divisions. A Porter level fighter at Cruiserweight would dominate almost all. Cruiserweight is such a weak division normally.

    If you want to take the literal meaning of Pound for Pound at it's name, its definitely Usyk and it isn't even close. Giving up 30+ pounds and at least 5 inches in height and beating a fighter people had as a top 10 P4P.

    In terms of dominance and ability I would still give him the edge but the poll suffers a bit from recency bias.
