    Who do you regard as the best p4p since these two guys were in their prime?

    I have to go with Usyk.

    He went into everyone's backyard and took their souls. His run at cruiser to unify combined with his masterful performance against AJ is simply above what anyone else did with their careers and he's still active.

    Let us not forget there was a metric ton of people who believed along the lines of: Usyk is too small, can't punch hard enough, won't be able to compete at heavyweight.

    Naoya Inoue. The most dominant and most destructive force in boxing.

    Terrence Crawford has been pound 4 pound for awhile. He will be undisputed at 147 & 154 in 2 fights unless *****s get cold feet. Then he coming for the manufactured face of boxing.

    With his recent good form it has to be Roman Gonzalez. Himself and Donaire have the deepest records for active fighters.

    When he popped on HBO in 2015 and fans were asking "Who's this guy?" he'd already been a champ for seven years.

    It's between Ward and Usyk for me.

    As much as I would really want to say Chocolatito, especially as a huge fan, Usyk and Ward are the best.

    I felt the same but remembered how Ward had to pull out every single illegal tactic he could to get the W over Kovalev and Usyk has never had to go that route.

    Usyk has been the more honorable fighter without nearly the controversy Ward has had. I must say though, as good as Usyk's resume is, nobody on his resume can touch Kovalev.
