I personally would have Usyk on top. Although I guess since Inoue has a HOFer on his resume then I suppose he has a case for that as well. I would have rather they reserve the #1 spot for him when he becomes undisputed, and also beats Fulton and MJ. Winner of Crawford/Spence should also be considered at #1 when that fight happens later this year.
Inoue deserves to be P4P #1 right now. It's either Inoue or Usyk at P4P #1 - Usyk hasn't fought this year, so it makes sense that Inoue is #1. Crawford should not even be in the discussion for P4P #1 until he fights and defeats Spence.
Anything not Usyk is a joke. Usyk couldn't have done more. His resume is absurd, he's done it all in enemy territory, he's almost gone undisputed at CW and HW. What do you people want? Donaire turns 40 in a few months and competes in a weight class where that means a great deal. Doesn't matter how you want to dress it up, that's just not the kind of win that bumps you up on a p4p list, much less to #1.
One of the main criteria for P4P #1 ought to be that you're considered to be the best fighter in the division you currently occupy. You can't say that about Usyk until he faces Fury so he shouldn't be considered P4P #1. I think there's a question mark over the quality of Inoue's opposition but he certainly ticks the best in his division box. Spence & Crawford need to face each other. Canelo just got beat & let's face it, he still hasn't beaten Triple G legit. So that's ruling a few out by process of elimination.
Deserved. Usyk and Inoue must be first and second, regardless of order. Canelo, Crawford and Spence come next.
This! I really like Crawford alot but have always thought he should be no higher than 5 or 6. Same goes for Spence.
Inoue's been more dominant than Usyk. In fact, he's been the most dominant fighter in boxing for a very long time now.
