I like Shakira but Tank will destroy him even though he would be trying to turn it into a track meeting.
1. Usyk - No need for explanation 2. Inoue - Still knocking out competitions 3. Bivol - Both fights are high level skill fights. 4. Beterbiev - ^^ 5. Crawford - Struggled against Madrimov, who isn't a big Light Middleweight anyway. And Crawford is not exactly small for that division either. Also fighting once a year 6. Bam - Clearing the old guards on flyweights division 7. Canelo - Low level opponents. 8. Junto - Knocking out competitions as well (most of them). 9. Opeteia - He Defeated Breidis twice (who i think is a First Ballot HOF, very underrated fighter). 10. Benavides or maybe Loma If he still active
Inoue Usyk Shakur Junto Teraji Crawford Janibek Pumita Martinez Boots Opetaia I don't even know my own reasoning behind this list anymore at this point tbh.
Usyk Inoue Bivol Tank Beterbiev Crawford Benavidez Vergil Canelo Shakur Honorable mentions: Boots, Teo and Fury. I see Bam and Junto on everyone’s list. They’re both excellent but to me not better than the guys I mentioned. Loma also is retired right?
Sad I didn't see Teraji on any of these. Had a great 108 run. Not a populous division so I get it. Maybe he can make some if he dominates Akui, but I doubt it.
1. Usyk- Possesses one of the greatest cruiserweight runs of all times, other than Holyfield's. Then proceeds to chop down 2 of guys on top of the mountain (Fury, Joshua). Definite all time great and deserved P4P #1. 2 (tied). Crawford- Even though Inoue is more active, that Madrimov win is very impressive and especially the fact that Crawford has a P4Per on his resume (Spence- please don't make excuses about the car accident since Spence was able to have good wins like Danny Garcia and Ugas) 3 (tied). Inoue- Very active P4Per with a terrifying blend of speed and power. Cleaned 2 divisions so far and really excited to see him against Nakatani. 4. Bivol- Really impressed with his recent victory with Beterbiev (a solid P4Per), cleaned out light heavyweight division the best he could and outclassed Canelo when he was P4P #1. Sounds like a HOF run to me. 5. Beterbiev- Although recently defeated by Bivol, Beterbiev still performed admirably and his knockout streak run as lineal LHW champ will always be awe-inspiring 6. Bam- defeated all old-guards of 115. Mesmerizing footwork and seems to want to fight the best. Can't wait to see more of this kid. 7. Canelo- Has fought increasingly lackluster opposition recently but his resume still stands as one of the best (if looking at the big picture). 8. Teraji- Extremely disappointing on how slept on this guy is. One of the most underrated active fighters I've seen. Resume at 108 is pretty much top 10 all-time quality (compared to other light flyweights) and can't wait to see how far he'll go at flyweight. 9. Junto- Scariest fighter at 118 since Inoue. Total beast and can't wait for the dream match between his countryman Inoue. 10. Lomachenko- Still fought last year and I still believe he has one of the best resumes even thought he may be a bit past his best. Can't wait to see Loma fight again. Honorable mention: Stevenson, Teofimo, Benavidez, Fernando Martinez
It kind of is. That's why Usyk, Crawford, and Bivol are near the top. Inoue has just been beating "competitors" not worthy of being named.
1. Usyk 2. Inoue 3. Bivol 4. Crawford 5. Alvarez 6. Beterbiev 7. Nakatani 8. Lomachenko 9. Teraji 10. Pumita
I agree with your list except for Fury as honorable mention. I don't even think he deserves an honorable mention. The guy is fat and we're talking about POUND 4 POUND. Fury has to much "POUND" in question to even be considered in the current top 10.
