    If Bivol cant confuse Benny then Bivol is in trouble. Bivol relies on keeping opponents unsettled as he makes himself less and less predictable. If that fails, and Benny can impose his will, Bivol is in trouble.

    I will take Bivol in a close fight where he takes over down the stretch. A rematch is basically a repeat performance where Bivol takes over sooner and hurts Benny once or twice.

    Inoue's activity plus his convincing win over a P4P opponent in Nakatani in a big event fight edges over Usyk. No other champions have fought as often as Inoue has, especially when its the best available opponents put in front of him. It's disappointing that Usyk has elected to fight a kickboxer rather than any other top fighters like Kabayel or Wardley. If Usyk can fight and beat those guys perhaps he might have a better case but as is no one should complain about Inoue being P4P #1 right now. The Monster has earned that spot.

    Is Inoue still out of the #1 spot?

    According to the logic in this thread, Usyk is now completely out of the picture

    Everyone saying that Usyk is p4p better than Inoue needs to watch another sport

    Well, it looks like Inoue should be back in that spot after Usyk's performance against Verhoeven
