    I'm fine with either Crawford or Inoue as No. 1. To me, Usyk's inactivity has caused him to fall behind a bit. All great fighters, tho.

    Inoue needs to get undisputed at 122 and go dominate 126lbs.

    Terrence needs to get Charlos belts.

    And Uysk needs to get the giant Fury in the ring, which is near on impossible.

    It's just politics.

    Publications putting Inoue at #1 (where we KNOW he should be) just pisses of Crawford and then they don't get Crawford interviews. Inoue doesn't grant many interviews to American publications, so they don't care that they place him at #2.

    They need access to Crawford for content.

    Crawford or Inoue as number 1, that's perfectly acceptable to me.

    I don't mind The Ring having Crawford as #1. I personally would rate Inoue higher, but it's close.

    What is absurd is Gervonta Davis in the top ten when he hasn't beaten a single really good fighter. He should fight Haney or Stevenson, but with Floyd directing him he'll continue to fight journeymen and try to have smaller boxers move up to face him.

    I think being the 1st undisputed champ in 2 divisions has more to do it it than being chummy chummy with the writers. But hey, what do I know.

    Now the race is on. Will Crawford be the 1st to be undisputed in 3 divisions before Inoue gets undisputed in his 2nd division? Will be fun to see how it all unfolds. Either way, should get some good fights out of it.

    I think Inoue going up to a new weight class and fighting the consensus #1 and unified champion in his first fight there and completely dominating Fulton from pillar to pillar in every aspect of the game — boxing and KO — is more impressive than beating Spence who was clearly dead on the scales.

    It's for sure political. It's why writers and boxers had no issue questioning Pac on his PED use or flat out accusing him, but didn't go near Floyd with PED questions with a 100 foot poll. Pac wasn't from the US and they didn't hear from him unless he was training. And Pac probably doesn't keep tabs on what the media says about him.

    Politics my ass. TBRB which is independent has Crawford #1, as do any respected organization.

    Knuckleheads like you going absolutely berserk to discredit the win for a reason, you know a performance like that for Crawford over someone like Spence(who while overrated by PBC and their fanboys, is was an elite level fighter) makes him the best.

    That is, best until Usyk gets Fury.

    Spence was dead at the weight and had stayed one fight too long at 147. He's on record for years saying that making 147 is very difficult. He'd had been launched 70 feet into the air and crashed his face into the road losing all his teeth. And then there's the 16 months of inactivity. If you don't see a drawn and sick man during the ring walk, then I suggest you see your optometrist ASAP for a new eye exam.

    Do you take Midol for your bleeding vagina?
