Yes pound for pound number 1 if he beats Fury based on him wrapping up the Cruiserweight division and also the two wins over Joshua
About time Spence should not be top 10 though. Twink shouldn't be either. Ioka, Bam-Rod, Loma, Estrada all more deserving than them This content is protected
I voted yes, I dont keep a p4p list of my own and dont really care about it but I think being undisputed in 2 classes and the size disadvantage he is at would be a enough to get him there. His cruiser achievements are also fantastic on their own i really have no argument for Usyk, Inoue or Crawford I think Usyk has a great case based on level of opposition and the domination he has shown, the size disparity and the fact he did it on the road Inoue based on winning titles at different classes and doing it by KO while hardly losing rounds, he also destroyed Donaire in a rematch of his own difficult fight Crawford based on multiple undisputed titles, multiple weight class titles, level of dominance, destructive win over Spence and its arguable that he is the best boxer currently active from a skill and attribute basis
No, beating Fury means nothing, Fury has been a fraud for the most part of his career. So you think you can beat two mediocre guys for belts and suddenly you are best ever ? You guys have low standards.
Yes he'd be number 1 and by some margin too. Not sure anything Bud or Inoue could do to top that. Maybe Bud beating Canelo or Inoue decimating 126 and 130, but even then I'm not sure that would be enough.
According to the fanboys he is now but P4P is even more meaningless than the alphabet belts. Boxing needs to go to one champ per division. Period. And comparing champs of the past to the present is a waste of time. Go play outside.
If he wins, He is and should remain so for a long time. The jump from Cruiser to Heavy cannot be compared with any other weight jump. Fury will weigh well over 260lbs come fight night. That's atleast 50 pounds more than Usyk's opposition at Cruiserweight. Pacman climbed less in weight across 10 divisions, by comparison.
In terms of achievements, this could arguably establish Usyk as the best fighter of this generation. I think Crawford shows greater dominance in his victories, but Usyk's resume is far more impressive.
