    I'd say number 2 as well. It's a big win for sure, but the P4P list is so much teeming with talent and future bouts that it's difficult to give a solid conclusion that he's #1.
    Maybe he's #1 at least for this month?

    We don't need casuals. Casuals only exist to line the pockets of crooks like Canelo and Mayweather. The less famous boxers never see a dime, and feeding these divas whores and diamonds never yielded results.

    No, it isn't. Lomachenko and Crawford look more complete. Inoue is going up as many weight classes to crush a former past it pound for pounder too. He would be the obvious p4p number 1 if his record weren't smoke and mirrors but he should have about four more losses on it than he does. That's just a fact. Asking people to forget his losses to Golovkin and Lara is asking them to live in make believe. Beating Kovalev even this version is a great win for a middleweight, but there are too many asterisks next to Canelo's name, too many accusations of fight fixing, judge tampering, and failed drug tests to call him number one.

    He hit him with that same punch a half dozen times tonight. Why didn't it do that the other times? For that matter, why didn't Kovalev react like that when bigger harder punchers his own size would hit him? Maybe, Kovalev is just good at selling it.

    So when Inoue knocks out Donaire will that make him #1?

    Meaning that if he had the chance of 10 seconds to recover, he may have kept going.

    I doubt that, but it's not out of the question

    He needed the time to go get a pillow for Kovalev.
