    Loma`s boxing ability is vast, all other fighters today are more limited, however Crawford`s switch-hitting puts him up there too.

    Usyk didn't have to fight on the front foot against Joshua. He delt with the size disadvantage just fine, like Hopkins when he dominated Tarver

    I'd say Crawford. This guy can do everything, and he does everything well.

    Crawford is excellent on the inside.

    Bud has great counter hooks, Usyk is better on the front foot than on the backfoot.

    Got to be Fury. He's the best in his weight at literally everything

    Fury is pretty good at grabbing on the inside, crawford tries to grab and gets caught by mean machine, porter

    Lomo, Fury, USYK, Crawford, Badou Jack and Canelo. Yes Canelo based on his weight jumping ability

    Crawford, and my guts says Usyk too though a few more fights where he is put to the test should show that.

    He`s not the best finisher, his power is only 7/10 despite that very good uppercut he landed on Whyte just like Povetkin and AJ did, Usyk is more skilled than Fury.

    Who's a better finisher? Anthony Joshua? Been too long since he's finished anyone to really say that for him.

    Power is up there. It's debatable certainly, but ether way, Deontay has more one punch power, yes...that aside, AJ, Whyte may be bigger punchers, who knows? He's in the bracket with them and it can't really be proven I guess. He's certainly not struggling to knock people out with it.

    Skill, Usyk, yeah it could be a fair point but it depends how you see skill really, does working your dimensions and using your skills well count? If so then it's Fury for me. Usyk being a very small HW will obviously have advantages in other areas, so it's about applying it p4p really
