End of 2026? Inoue, Bam, Usyk, Teofimo, Benevidez I suspect based on inactivity Usyk will drop a little. And given Inoue is about to defend his title for the fourth time this year, he will enter 2026 as #1 and then hold it until the end (though the Nakatani fight would make things interesting). Teofimo to do his usual and put in a surprise performance.
I cant believe I forgot to put in Boots/Vergil as one of them, especially Vergil, could make the list..what a fight thats gone be
Usyk Winner of Inoue/Nakatani Winner of Stevenson/Lopez Bivol Bam Though if Inoue beats Nakatani and fights 3 or 4 times he should take the top spot, especially if Usyk spends the year with only Wilder fight. And if Benavidez becomes beats Ramirez to become unified CW champion, which he should, he can take over Bam's spot. Winner of Ortiz/Ennis and Haney will probably be strong candidates for top5 as well.
