It would still be Usyk, given his age, the size disparity he has had to surmount, and his record at cruiserweight.
I voted Bivol, but did not take into consideration Usyk's age at the time of beating those guys. Level of opposition goes to Bivol, but can't argue with Usyk being #1.
Haha true it is a loaded question but I saw a thread about Crawfords ranking if he clears out 154 and it got me thinking about the subject
