    Uysk but I think Inoue or Crawford would be fair.

    1. Usyk

    2 and 3 is a toss up between Inoue and Crawford

    But if we could somehow equalise everybody’s size and scale up/down their proportions I think Inoue beats everybody, probably by stoppage too

    It might be a very long time before we see THREE two-division undefeated, unified champions at the same time.

    Crawford, Usyk and Inoue. Pick one of them and I would not argue.

    Any of bud, Inoue or usyk
    I vote Inoue because I love his style and how he is hammering through the divisions

    Usyk.

    Crawford and Inoue not far behind.

    The difference, for me, is Usyk's gone up to the unrestricted division and beat the two best guys - who were 20lbs and 30lbs heavier than him.

    Usyk hasn't just gone up divisions and adapted his body and stayed competitive - he's fought with a handicap and still won pretty comfortably.


    It's not a knock on Inoue and Crawford, they're top quality fighters who'd be competitive in any era... But Usyk is something a bit different, for me he stands alone.

    Yeah, I expect tough fight for BUD and it will be great. I want my favorite fighters to be challenged all the time. It will make them even greater

    It's clearly Usyk and anyone who says otherwise is either drunk or a liar and a thief

    I would say so, but it's possible to argue for Inoue or Crawford - I'm not convinced, but it's possible.

    If anything is offensively out of place it's Tank being on the list of options.
    Davis has absolutely no claim to being there, has neither beaten the best at any weight (let alone multiple weights) nor is he small at his current weight... Heck, old or no - Loma even now has more of a claim on both accounts, having both gone 50/50 and arguably beaten Haney with a huge weight deficit.

    I have to agree that it is Usyk
    Consider the difference in size and weight when Usyk beat Fury
    38.5 lb lighter
    6" shorter

    Just imagine a featherweight of say 5ft 6" in height beating a 6ft middle/super middleweight because that is similar to how it was

    Usyk - and he's been at the top of my P4P list for the last 2 or 3 years.
