    Inoue.Crawford looked human against madrimov.He will have 2 losses when he brings down the curtain on his career.Usyk will lose aswell,all heavyweights are old around the age of 39. Usyk will be 38 in 2 weeks time.

    Crawford, if he doesn't fight canelo. I think Usyk will keep fighting until he can't, so hell eventually lose., Inoue is too young to call

    Not one person on that list. Tank is bluffing he's gonna retire but he isn't.

    Beyond him, even Usyk doesn't look like he's quite ready to. So it sounds like he may go further than he needs to.

    Crawford is gonna lose his 0 to Canelo, and I don't think he cares.

    Zepeda is gonna lose his rematch to Farmer

    Boots, Inoue, Bam, Shakur are all gonna get to greedy and go too far from their proper weights and lose.

    Spence won 3 belts to set the table for a unification between him and Bud. That was ALWAYS his goal. Get the story right, stop being emotional.

    So take your emotions out of it and read what I wrote, because even though you've been triggered, the content you've said is the same as what I've said.

    Spence could have made the fight sooner, but he didn't. That's not a knock on Crawford at all.

    As you've said Spence had 3 belts, Crawford was the B Side.

    Make the fight sooner with a devastating car crash, eye injury, and Covid. No emotion. Simply what transpired.

    Spence was champ for 5 years, the fight was spoken about almost the entirety of that time.

    The A-side called the shots here.

    Usyk and Inoue are the best bets. Probably Tank as well, since he'll avoid anyone with a pulse.

    Crawford is dead-set on the Canelo pay-day and we know how that plays out. Even if negotiations to fight Canelo breakdown though and he stays at 154, there's still a host of dangerous guys there who could take an ageing Bud's 0 like Murtazaliev, Bohachuk, Ortiz, or Zayas.
    Inoue is too driven on beating the best and tearing through divisions to retire undefeated. He doesn't strike me as the type who would want to play their career out in an easy way. His identity as a warrior is too enshrined into how he views himself for him to take the simple path out I feel.
    Usyk says he wants to keep fighting and I believe he will. He clearly believes he has a lot left to give and is getting the biggest pay-days of his career. HW is a dangerous division and I suspect he'll stick around for one fight too long.
    When Beterbiev stops Bivol, I wouldn't be surprised to see him retire with his 0.
    Tank is the safest bet. His 0 is a big part of his image and how he's marketed. If PBC exists long enough to arrange Tank's retirement, they'll definitely attempt to maintain his image as Mayweather's heir by letting him keep his 0.
    None of the others have much of a chance at retiring undefeated imo.

    Dont care. More important is who they beat, who beat them, the circumstances of the fights and the manner of wins/losses.
