    Usyk
    Crawford
    Ward (unlike the other two, Ward relies on excessive clinching, fouling, and headbutting)

    Usyk is the most complete boxer on the planet just after Canelo. Delete.

    I voted Crawford. Crawford can brawl, box, counter, be first. Usyk is an excellent boxer mover. Great timing, Crawford is as well. I have seen Crawford fight differently to win. Not so much with Usyk. Crawford can switch, more diverse.

    Maybe. But his resume is weak. I gonna rate him after Porter performance.

    Btw I forgot my man Tyson Fury... Smh.. He can box, brawl, fight both inside and outside, has defense, he can switch his hands, use dirty tactics, has punch power and chin/recovery.

    Canelo, Usyk, Fury, Crawford all of them are f*ckin complete. I can't choose tbh.

    What?
    Canelo isn't that complete, he has poor footwork and an average jab, two very important aspects of boxing.
    He is an amazing counter puncher and has sublime defense, he excels at that and that's his way of fighting.

    Usyk is fantastic in every department.

    I voted Ward, but my assessment of his abilities is generous and I expect to get **** for it. :lunchacos: Also, Ive seen alot more of Ward than I have of Usyk. Who was the other choice?

    Footwork, jab and stamina aren't weak sides of him.

    Footwork issue is myth. He debunked it in the GGG 1. He can dance around if he wants.

    He has very hard and stiff power jab. He use his jabs very well. However, his jab isn't ATG level and his main weapon is his power punches.

    He also has good stamina. He fights 12 rounds without much difficulty. He had some issues at 154 and below.

    You must learn the difference between "weak side" and "weaker than his other aspects".

    Cool. With such ducking so low like Ward did dudes like Glowacki, Huck or Briedis had obliterated such boxer regardless had they get DQ or no.
    Doctors doesn't care about fight outcome when they are working with patients in hospitals.

    Smaller boxers are usually more skilled, because they can move better. Not exactly fair to compare a welterweight with a heavyweight in terms of skill.

    Canelo vs GGG1 had proved that A. GGG had beat him. B. Pro boxing is only just entertainment business nothing more.

    We're talking about his footwork, not scorecards. Canelo can use both back foot and front foot. This is already directly connected with footwork.

    Why shouldn't I put him over Usyk? Because he beat Joshua? Canelo is tredecillions times more skilled and complete than Joshua.
