    Agree with everything, except first place and not Estrada but Gonzalez.

    Normally I would object Canelo being number 1 because of cheating, but he signed with esbc so let it be lol

    Where is Tyson Fury?

    How is Tyson Fury not on this list when he schooled a 10-year super champion and went toe to toe with the hardest hitting heavyweight of all time and made him say no mas???

    I think Usyk and Crawford are a bit too high. I'm a big fan of Usyk but it's years since his last big win (Gassiev). Same for Crawford who prefers to fight shot Brits than take on challenges.

    Other than that it's a pretty good list.

    I have no problem with him being on the list but 5 is way too high for him. He shouldn't be above Lopez or Spence.

    One of the better lists I have seen. Personally Lopez should be above Spence and Lomachenko above Estrada.

    I also don't believe Ioka should be on the list. He could be replaced by Pacquiao, or even Fury.

    How do you justify Crawford ahead of Spence? I don't understand that one at all. Taylor is maybe a skooch too high but belongs in the top 10. I wouldn't have Ioka on there.

    Top five should be:
    1. Usyk
    2.Taylor
    3. Inoue
    4. Crawford
    5.Lomachenko - he deserved at least a draw against Lopez winning rounds 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Lopez getting rounds 2 and 6 is criminal considering, despite Bradley jizzing himself, almost none of his "big" shots actually landed and Lopez received the cleaner shots

    Canelo doesn't get into the top 5 robbing GGG x2, and Lara.. Then weight jumping to suit his cherrypicking.. Also, card stacking and pharmacy supplies.. Oh and fixing fights
