    Crawford has been inactive since he's beaten Spence and that's why he's not No.1 P4P at the moment. He needs to beat Charlo at 154 to be back on top of it again.

    If Crawford wants his spot back he needs to fight more than once a year. Activity should definitely be a factor in the pound for pound.

    Must feel for teo, has two wins over top 10 (once number 1) p4p fighters, and if not for politics would be a 2 division undisputed champion, an achievement which is massive in why Inoue and Crawford are considered a top 2, but never mentioned among the lists.

    What has nery done? Spence > nery that's for damn sure. People basing Spence to tear down Crawford but acting like nery is some great win to praise inoue on. I mean you can't make this kind of **** up.

    I don’t see anyone saying Nery is better than Spence though. Spence hasn’t done anything in the last few years to warrant a top 10 ranking.

    He hasn’t done much in the last 4 years. A win against Garcia and Ugas, then a one sided defeat. You think that’s P4P material?

    In the time that Crawford fought Spence, Inoue fought Fulton, Tapales and Nery. That’s why many people have him at #1.

    Okay if you're not trying to say nery is a better win than Spence then I don't really have a problem with what you're saying. Crawford hasn't fought since July so I have no problems with inoue being elevated to #1.

    I was strictly referring to Spence being #7 in the P4P ranking. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Nobody can't say anything about this ranking.
    Naoya is the best actually.

    There are only Americans who absolutely want to put Crawford number 1. Crawford's best victories are against boxers who are almost retired or even in decline (Spenceafter his car accident). Naoya Inoue boxes twice a year and against guys who are in the top 8 or even 5 in hisweight division. Is there still a debate?

    I think that's fair for Inoue. Congrats he earned it.
    As far as David Benavidez not making the cut not even over Nakatani is highly B.S!

    The problem for Spence is that he didn't even try to make an adjustment after getting knocked down after the 2nd rd against Bud. Like Bomac said "I've followed him through the amateurs and he is still the same fighter. One dimensional".

    Spence should not be in the top ten. Loma should be. No one has been as dominant as Inoue, he fully deserves it. If Usyk dominates Fury then he should move up. I also think Bivol deserves a top ten spot.
