    Inoues taking on champions at multiple weights, that has to count for something.

    Indeed, he has beaten (dominated and ko'd) the #1 fighters at 108, 115 and is the current champ at 118, and did that within 18 fights in total.
    He's not just a 3 division beltholder, he's been "the man" in those 3 divisions.
    Now he's probably going to win the Bantam WBSS too, and add that to his impressive resume. But like they started saying about him when he fought Hernandez back in the day, and I've heard many times since, "this is his first real test".
    I wonder how many first real tests he needs to maul until some people start really rating him.

    That's fair enough,for me to be P4P high you must faces boxer who might beat each other @ least take that risk.
    Crawford & Spence need to face each other now before to old other wise forget P4P chat about them.
    All these guys have done better P4P wise.

    He never was the man at 115. That's complete bull****. And the comp at 108 is really limited for a guy who was shrinking down. He still hasn't fought the number 2 at 118. I have nothing against him other than his level of comp, which has not been worthy of making the top of a pfp list.

    Narvaez was the #1 at 115, who at the time only had a single loss against Donaire in an attempt to win his titles at 118, after which he returned to 115 to defend his WBO strap for a later total of 11 times before running into Inoue.

    He hasn't fought the #2 at 118 yet, but he is the GBP/Ring champion and #1 in every serious rating board at the weight. The #2 Nery is pretty controversial though.

    I thought scored it as Porter should have won the fight a point. So no I don't have Spence in the top 5 P4P. Even if you did have Spence wining the fight it's very arguable that Spence even then is Top 5 P4P as it debatable that are numerous of fighters with just as good if not better resumes.

    Gtfo with that. The torch at 115 was being passed around between Estrada, Sor, and Roman. He fought none of them. Narvaez took a backseat to all three, and Cuadras.

    I like Inoue as much as anyone, but his resume is not top 5 material.

    He also hasn’t fought Tete, not just Nery.

    It's whats wrong with boxing. Guys get questionable decisions and move up in pound for pound rankings. Spence doesn't move above anybody in my list.

    Canelo and Usyk in my opinion have more impressive win resumes than Errol Spence. I have Canelo and Usyk at #1 and #2. The #3 spot is definitely up for grabs though. What active boxers besides Manny Pacquiao have a more impressive win resume than Canelo or Usyk?

    Crawford looks more dominant than Loma and Usyk against similar quality opposition. Hasn’t got a loss or struggled and been knocked on his ass by a Linares level fighter. Inoue has beaten nobody.

    Chocolatito hasn’t fought in over a year so I don’t consider him active, unless maybe you’re referring to another Gonzalez? Lol. I think to be considered active you have to have fought within the past 365 Days

    Inoue has beaten nobody? Why? Because you don't know them?!
