    I still have the big 3 ahead
    Bud didn't look great his last fight, but he has some serious longevity and has moved through the weights

    My top 2 are Usyk and Inoue. Usyk is 1 to be fair and it's hard to put anyone in front of him

    Usyk
    Inoue
    Bud
    Beterbiev
    Bivol

    Anywhere between 6-10.

    Neither Beterbiev or Bivol are top 5 p4p. Everyone that's top 5 has the resume to back up why they're top 5. I think the top 5 is locked up until one of those 5 make a serious misstep. Also people disrespecting Crawford as ignorantly as they are, it's very telling and poetic that Beterbiev and Bivol both have him at the top.

    As it stands the top 5 IMO are still:
    Inoue
    Crawford
    Usyk
    Canelo
    Rodriguez

    For anyone questioning Bam, Bam may not have all the belts but he's literally the king of 2 divisions. And you could honestly make a good argument that Teo (who I'm not even a fan of) is also higher than Beterbiev and Bivol as well. He's the only person on the list that has 2 wins over 2 undisputed reigning champions (Loma was really undisputed IDC) in 2 separate divisions, who were both at the time on the P4P list. Even with his valleys, Teo's peaks are Everest-like. I like both Beterbiev and Bivol, but for them to move higher, they'd have to snatch belts at CW imo

    You should re-review Beterbiev’s resume. There’s no way Rodriguez is above Beterbiev in resume off of beating hasbeens and Sunny Edwards.

    Bam cleared the top of 2 divisions.............and I'd argue that Estrada may be the single best win between them other than Bivol (which is disputed). If Beterbiev went up and beat Opetaia, even if he didn't get the other belts, I'd move him ahead of Bam.

    So both Beterbiev and Bivol was in the top 10 P4P list, one beat another and he is still #4 ?

    Which one of the Inoue/Usyk/Bud has beaten another P4P fighter ?

    Bams Bams career has been cleverly orchestrated so far. He has yet to beat a prime top tier world champion.

    Considering that Beterbiev is 39 now, I'd say p4p 4 or 5 is fair. A few years ago he was the 2nd best fighter in the sport p4p. He's obviously not the same guy. Never got a shred of casual attention. People are just beginning to pay attention to him and he's 75% of what he once was. Kind of a shame.
