That absolute clown Ak (Barak's boyfriend) said that he wasn't sure if Usyk deserves to be ranked in the P4P top 10. He said it before Usyk harvested AJ's soul in his back garden but that doesn't make it any less ridiculous
That one is murky to me as well, given Crawfords recent activity - IMO Bud is still getting by on what he achieved at 135/140 and the "eye-test"; but he has proven he can go through divisions - 3 weight champ. Taylor on the other hand cleaned out a much harder 140, and looked great doing it in 18 fights - more importantly for me he did it RECENTLY, but he's only a single weight champ right now - most folks seem to use division hopping as some kind of P4P insta-pass. Crawford could steal his spot back with a dominant win / KO of Porter when they fight, but Porter is a DAWG, we will really see what Bud is all about in that fight IMO.

Read what i put against. If it was "clear" how come over 75% of pundits, Pro Boxers and external judges had it for GGG ? The fact the arena boo'd when canelo got the draw, in one of his home arenas. Just sums up how much corruption was there.
Expectations played a role in why many people had GGG winning. The narrative was that GGG was the Champ and therefore he deserved the benefit of the doubt in close rounds. (so-called Champion's advantage) Another reason was how Canelo fought, instead of taking the fight to the Champ and coming forward, Canelo outboxed GGG and made him come to him, it was said that you had to take the fight to the Champ to beat an undefeated Champ like GGG. All these reasons contributed why an apparent majority scored that first fight for GGG. Why the arena boo'd when the draw was announced? The answer is obvious. Because the fans wanted to see a winner. Canelo fans thought he won, GGG fans thought he won, when it was announced a draw the fans booed because they thought their fighter won. It's not uncommon for fans to boo a draw, fans want to see a winner.
Don't you remember after the first fight how many fans argued Canelo didn't "take the fight to the champ"? Remember Lance, Canelo didn't fight "Mexican Style", and according to GGG fans, Canelo couldn't win by outboxing GGG and fighting off the backfoot. Instead Canelo had to come forward, he had to be more aggressive in order to win. That was the main narrative which led to the rematch when Canelo fought more aggressively and got the win.
