    Inoue has had 16 world title fights in 21 scraps. And he dispatched of most of them in brutal violent fashion.

    That's obscene. Clear P4P #1.

    Nah Loma and Usyk are p4p 1-2. That said, Inoue is one skilled mf and he's fighting bigger dudes now and still holding that monster power.

    Usyk is number 1 purely because he is a guy who became undisputed AT his own natural weight class (he's not a weight bully unlike many of the so called p4p ranked guys). Now he's fighting above his weight class. Casuals on here like to ignore the obvious weight bullies in the sport and have no idea how big of an unfair advantage it is to weigh 5-10lbs+ more than their opponent on fight night. Theres a reason why these guys drain themselves down and then balloon up, it's because they're relying on that weight bully extra size to get them through the fight. Beating smaller guys with an unfair advantage is not p4p material and is cowardice. Id love to see these pussies actually fight good opponents their own size they'd get cracked.

    Back to the point, Usyk fought pretty good opposition all away from home at cruiser. He beat Chisora more convincingly than Whyte and ex world champ Parker (winning more rounds that is)... And now he's fighting AJ on his home turf.. Usyk gets barely any respect for what he's achieved

    Lomachenko is quite clearly the most skilled boxer in the game, but he rolled a poor dice against Lopez. First of all, Loma won rounds 2, 6 and arguably 7 and hence achieving at minimum a draw. Secondly, he had one arm as was confirmed. He also came in against a guy who legit looks like he could be campaigning at 147+. Clear weight bully.

    And lastly.. Anyone who has Canelo in the top 5 pound for pound has unfortunately been fooled. He lost to GGGx2 so how does that work out? Or has he got that position because he fought drained Jacobs? Or is it for his ventures against the 168lber monsters in Callum Smith (short camp, basic barely european level, lost to Ryder, zilch resume) and Billy Joe Saunders (got his belt practically as a present against the legendary Isufi in some trashy football stadium by Frank Warrens Boxing Orgaisation)?

    Pathetic sport

    One thing's for certain he would beat the absolute kaka and corruption out of Clenelo if they were even remotely close to the same size but then again so would fellow P4P top tenners Usyk, Loma, Crawford, and those are just the ones in the top 10 I'm utterly sure of.

    Inoue is clearly in the discussion but for now its between him, Loma, and probably Usyk, based on achievement.
    Inoue is a special talent indeed. Love to watch him fight.

    Inoue doesn't have the record to be number one P4P yet.

    He is a much better boxer than Canelo though.

    Canelo is really overrated these days.

    "Pound for pound" is one of the most stupid concepts in all of sport.

    Inoue needs at least two more good wins to get that position, if Lomachenko beats Lopez in the second fight he'll be where he rightfully belongs.

    Not a single Canelo wins have looked good in retrospect, almost no one has accomplished anything significant after except maybe Lara, but he's old too.

    He needs fight with Casimero and Whoever will hold last belt. I don't even know what to expect from Donaire at this point.

    P4P is subjective. For me he is and Inoue posses the best style for me to watch out of the other p4pers.

    For me he's the number 1 P4P in terms of entertainment, I love watching him fight. But no he's not P4P number 1 right now, he still has to fill out his resume more before we can say that.

    Inoue is up with Canelo on top of the mountain, that is certain.
