He has a good case for number 1. Cleaned out the 200 lb weight class and became the undisputed, four belt champion. Moved to HW and beat the second best HW alive, almost stopped him. He's no worse than number 4 P4P.
Mayweather and GGG only losses for Canelo. I've had Canelo #1 for ages, but for me that Usyk win absolutely puts him #1 for me. 1)Usyk 2)Canelo 3)Inoue If Crawford beats porter I think he's got a shout @#3
Yes, he beat a much bigger guy by using his superior skill. He’s a pleasure to watch. Much more impressive than watching a roided up ginger hulk cherry pick his way up the ranks. No comparison. And Usyk did it in AJ’s backyard with AJ’s corrupt British judges looking for a way to give AJ the win. Huge victory by Usyk. The same guys who were saying he was overrated and incapable of beating the bigger man are now saying AJ was overrated to diminish this win.
Honestly, I would give him number 1 because he always did it in neutral territory or in his opponents backyard. Also he never received Canelo's superstar treatment.
I had him number 1 before after he cleaned out Cruiserweight so impressively Alvarez' recent top form in new divisions and Usyks inactvity/injury problems pushed him back to second But Usyk is right back to NUMBER ONE now definitely. Oleksandr Usyk - Pound for Pound Number 1. No doubt about it. There is a clear Number 1 p4p in boxing now.
