    That is total nonsense given who their resumés are both quite good.

    It is like telling a Floyd fanboy that Baldomir is not an A-level-win. Bellew is less than what many see him as in the recent-term. Have you any idea how he was viewed a couple fights before Haye?

    I know what you mean about Bellew. I think Bellew was underrated but still I stand by Gassiev being a manufactured hype job. I personally believe he's cycling right now.

    I just personally think Bellew could have thrown the fight vs Usyk. I don't trust any Hollywood actors. Even though Bellew is extremely talented I love his hooks & how he exchanges. Just who he associated with makes me question Bellew's authenticity

    Uh, how do you have SRR above Gallo?

    Better résumé, but I do get your point. I don't mind a swap.

    But SSR thought the worst fight of his life against Estrada the second time round.

    Obviously he values having beaten former P4P King Gonzalez twice, in addition to going 1-1 with Estrada over Estrada. Doesn't sound so extreme when spelled out, does it?

    I get that, but Estrada comprehensively schooled and beat down SSR.

    Para does raise a good point tho, it's not exactly perfect to have somebody above someone they've just lost too, although if somebody had GGG above Canelo they'd hear no argument from me

    1-1

    What is their common record against the former P4P King?

    It's all in the eye of the beholder.

    Unless someone ranks Amir Khan or something ridiculous. Most reasonable points can be defended.

    No means for disrespect.

    I will even acknowledge my fanhood of Roman and Srisaket making me obliged to bring up that in defense.

    Your point is very sound. I'm probably even in the minority. Maybe years from now or even nights from now, I would side with you.

    EDIT:
    I DO currently rank Estrada over Srisaket. But that is due to Estrada's accomplishments regardless of the other two characters. Both have argument to match up higher than they do in most peoples' list.

    It's all good. These lists are subjective anyways.

    Its Usyk for me, murderers row one after the other, Breidis and Gassiev are gonna be crippling people until the cows come home, unless your Usyk, these boys are crushing everyone for the foreseeable future and Breidis eventually will be recognised as p4p top 5 minimum, why Hunter get wanked about taking the odd round off Usyk when Breidis pushed him closer

    Exactly. Briedis put up a WAY better fight than Hunter. Usyk was close to getting Hunter out of there.

    Have you got an opinion on sleepy eyed Errol as a top 10?
    Or Crawford top 3?
