    Accomplishments need not apply. Purely on the basis of their pound for pound abilities. All things considered, who is the best?

    Inoue. Effortless form.

    Bivol is overrated and so is Usyk.

    For me, p4p is based on combined achievements and performance up to the latest point of a career, with emphasis on the last performance. So, you can head up a p4p list but if someone sucks in their latest performance, it seems justifiable to drop them down a place or two.

    Inoue’s last performance was dynamite and for now, he deserves to be on top. If Crawford and Spence ever face each other and there is a decisive winner and a top performance, that would be enough to put the winner on top.

    It has to be Usyk. He has won all his big fights away from home as the B side. Cleaned up Cruiserweight fighting everyone he could and beat the former number 2 ranked heavyweight in Joshua.

    If Inoue moves up to 122 and beats Akhmadliev / Fulton, then maybe I would reconsider. Bivol and Stevenson aren't top 5 let alone in the conversation for the number 1 position.

    Naoya Inoue.

    Had one competitive fight against a rejuvenated and certified ATG due to a broken orbital bone suffered in the second round and still managed to win 8-9 rounds.

    Power: A
    Speed: A
    Ring IQ: A
    Footwork: A
    Punch Selection: A
    Defense: A-
    Chin: A

    Inoue's been far more dominant than Usyk. Joshua had his soul snatched by a Mexican Teletubby.

    Inoue has fought binmen

    His best win had his soul snatched by Rigo, Walters, Jessie Magdaleno, and Carl Frampton and was 100 y/o the first time he fought Inoue

    Omar Narvaez was like 39 too

    There are only 344 active pros in the division your Japanese lesbian leprechaun crush won his first world title in and like 704 in the one he won his second in and he's only fought outside his homeland x 4

    You trippin', son.

    A rejuvenated Nonito had 4 highlight reel KOs in between both Inoue fights.

    Narvaez had only lost to Nonito in a boring snoozefest where he wasn't hurt or dropped. Inoue was 6-0 and smoked him.

    Usyk had a close, controversial win over Breidis. He was being battered around by Chisora and Bellew until he adjusted. Inoue has lost MAYBE 10 total rounds in his career.

    The women's divisions have more depth than the one your boy campaigns in and he fights in Japan most of the time where they let him wear loaded wraps and he's a massive weight bully

    Nonito been bested x 4 and he lost to Jesse Magdaleno and 39 for a 122 fighter is 60 for a normal sized one

    Usyk is constantly fighting in his opponent's backyards where everything is stacked against him not in his favour like it is for Inoue. They stitched him up with a shoe box sized ring against the near 40lb heavier Chisora and Usyk has achieved all he has despite having had like 5 or 6 different trainers in like 8 fights. A same size Briedis sparks Inoue

    Openly up close filmed hand-wrapping with a member of Nonito's team watching closely. Yeah, he's wearing loaded wraps.

    :lol:

    Inoue's been more dominant. It's a fact. And he's looked lethal doing it. He'll be undisputed at 118 and then 122. Usyk might lose to Joshua on the rematch.

    LOL @ weight bully. He's a skinny twig, no bulk.

    Then you look at Fulton who is 4 pounds "north" looking jacked and bulky.

    Inoue
    Usyk
    Crawford

    There the 3 standout fighters, but Crawford and Inoue need to fight better opposition. Crawford's resume for a 34 year old fighter is seriously lacking any top names.

    Bellew is the defence's star witness? :risas3::facepalm:

    It's well known by those of us involved in the trade that Inoue wears loaded wraps

    Yes he's dominant like Crawford is fighting C levels and bums

    Bantam - 922
    Super-fly - 704
    Light-fly - 344

    :risas3:

    Usyk might lose to AJ because he has everything against him And is giving away huge physical advantages, including the powers that be who are desperate to see Fury vs AJ, and his country is at war, whereas Inoue has the Yakuza pulling strings behind the scene for him
