    hell no. He never fought no one. fought a load of bums in weak divisions. canelo was old and past it. spence was ****ed from the car accident. he struggled with madrimov and gamboa.

    usyk is clear number 1 .

    Of course not, Usyk is and its not close.

    We can discuss Bud and Inoue for second place….

    Still a tie between him and Usyk. The latter's very likely win over Wilder isn't gonna be a difference maker. Though Inoue/Nakatani might turn the question into a three-way race.

    Canelo did not win that fight, goddamn. The man was visibly frustrated from the 6th round on, never landed any eye catching shots and the looks of their faces after the fight speaks volumes as to who won the fight.

    No. He's 180lbs & spent a career fighting WWs & LWs. Beating a slowing Canelo doesn't do much for me... When GGG was getting jobbed against a prime version twice many people never gave him his flowers so why should we all blow smoke up Crawford now? Don't spout any size nonsense Crawford's bigger than him.

    yes its not like usyk and inoue are beating nothing but elites. pointing at buds weak opposition while acting like usyks and inoues is better, is just that, acting.

    Lol
    Usyks is far superior to crawford, obviously. Hes fought non stop beasts and world champions in their backyards.

    Inoues is better too.

    Usyk fights in the worst HW division in 50 years... but it's Crawford fighting in weak divisions. Go figure....
