    Leaving my bias out of it concerning who I personally believe is (Crawford), I'd say Usyk. If all things are equal between him, Inoue and Crawford............whatever is done at HW historically is always more meaningful.

    So Usyk.

    Also: Loma and Estrada shouldn't even be options in this particular line up. (great yea and I've always been a fan of Loma in particular, but "historically" great beyond potential, nah)

    Usyk easily. I dont get votes for Inoue, his resume is average to poor, while Usyk has cleaned out a stacked cruiser weight division and moved up to beat very good heavyweights.

    Yeah Inoue's resume is poor. It's not like he's been knocking out the top 3 people consistently in each division he's been in.

    With no context whatsoever, this is a good point…. But the “top 3” he’s beating aren’t great fighters…. You can start bringing up amateur records and all that other stuff Inoue fans do to explain why his opponents have been great, but great opposition doesnt usually need to be explained.

    I don’t need to explain to anyone why wins over AJ, Fury, and several of Usyks cruiserweight bouts are good wins.

    Poor may have been harsh, but compared to several other fighters in the list, it is poor in comparison.

    I just got listening to that pair of absolute clowns Ak and Barak doing commentary for Pierce vs Sanmartin. How they even have a job in the sport, let alone commentating on fights is comical

    This is their P4P top 10 from 8 months ago

    This content is protected


    1. Crawford
    2. Clenelo
    3. Inoue
    4. Haney
    5. Bivol
    6. Usyk
    7. Shakur
    8.Teofimo
    9. Spence
    10. Bam-Rod

    They cite people saying Crawford was too small even though him being small has literally never been the case. Hell, even in his 3rd weight class he was very big for the weight and he weighed more in his debut for his 4th one than his career opponent Madrimov did and he had a much longer reach than him too

    And Clenelo being smaller man fighting bigger men even though he weighed 3-5lbs less than Bivol in his 5th weight class and a few pounds at most less than Kovalev up there too

    But Usyk is routinely beating giants way bigger than him :facepalm:

    And they had Haney at #4 who has literally never beaten anyone remotely close to his size, the closest being the 9lb lighter Rougarou :facepalm:

    Two years ago they had Spence at #3 above #4 Usyk, #5 Inoue, #6 Bivol to name but a few

    That was when Usyk was the former undisputed CW champion and the reigning WBA, IBF and WBO unified HW champion

    CBS's rankings from that same time period ie. when Usyk was the former undisputed CW champ and the reigning WBA, IBF and WBO HW champ

    1. Canelo Alvarez
    2. Errol Spence
    3. Terence Crawford
    4. Naoya Inoue
    5. Tyson Fury
    6. Vasiliy Lomachenko
    7. Shakur Stevenson
    8. Oleksandr Usyk
    9. Dmitry Bivol
    10. Gervonta Davis


    Prior to that when Usyk was the undisputed CW champion one of those clowns Ak and Barak expressed reluctance about him being ranked in the top 10 at all, as in he wasn't sure if he deserved it or not

    Even over here in the UK the Usyk disrespect from some media members and people involved in the sport is disgusting
