    A bit off-topic but why Spence is above Usyk I will never know.

    As of 2021, but names from that Oct. 2020 list?
    • Manny obviously
    • Canelo possibly
    Maybe:
    • Loma
    • Inoue
    • TC
    But why haven't they updated it as of 2021?

    People were putting Spence on the list after beating Brook. It took a single world title fight for people to throw Spence on the list. I can't think of many other fighters who got the same treatment. At least with Lopez he beat a top 5 p4p fighter.
