    If Lomachenko beats Garcia, I think that removes any doubt that he's P4P #1.

    He didn't beat anyone better than B level.

    Loma vs Mikey
    Canelo vs Kov with no catch weight or hydration clause. This one is questionable because Kov is well past prime. A victory against someone like Smith would be much more impressive as long as there is no weight restriction or catch weight.
    Crawford vs Spence (most interesting fight in boxing by far - IMO)
    Usyk vs Wilder, Ruiz, Fury or AJ. A win over any top 4 HW gets Usyk the crown as long as it’s not a questionable decision.

    PFP isn’t just who you beat, it’s how you beat them. If a smaller guy beats a bigger guy, it carries more weight than a guy beating someone of equal size or smaller man. Usyk moving up to HW and beating a top guy gets him PFP in my book. Especially since he already cleared out CW.

    Also, PFP champs shouldn’t get credit for questionable decisions. This is why I never considered Ward a PFP champ after the first Kov fight or Canelo after the first GGG fight. PFP fighters should win convincingly or at least without controversy.

    Canelo vs Callum Smith/Gvozdyk - that size difference is a serious obstacle to overcome for 5'9 Cinnamon.

    Spence vs Crawford

    Well that’s what I’m saying Roy was regarded as P4P 1

    After Lomachenko he's one of the best movers I've ever seen. Good punch on him for a little fella too. He should already be in the conversation for top 10 p4p.

    I've had him there for years...

    He has produced many highlight-reel KO's.

    He's one of my personal favourites. He's definitely in there for me.

    Spence v Crawford (either one wins, they're both already on the list)
    Loma v Taylor/Prograis (Loma is arguably already #1)
    Usyk v Wilder/Ruiz/Joshua/Fury
    Inoue after beating Donaire beats Rigo or another SB. (again could be argued he's already #1)

    I think any of these 5 (Loma, Usyk, Inoue, Spence or Crawford) could possibly be P4P #1 with the right win.

    Canelo shouldn't even be in P4P #1 convo to me. He would have to beat Callum (top guy at SMW) and Andrade (darkhorse at MW) and Bivol or Gvodzyk. (I don't think he beats Kovalev either way but Kovalev isn't the top in the division so beating him wouldn't be a a top, top feat.)
