    Surely with his wins over Canelo, Zurdo, and now Beterbiev he’s finally done enough to be considered Top 5 P4P best right now?

    Top 3-4
    Even 1 is a possibility

    He was already top 5 surely?

    It's Usyk number 1 obviously
    Inoue 2nd
    Could make a case for him taking 3rd place cause of Crawford inactivity and close fight with Madrimov.
    Beterbiev has to be 5th.

    Beterbiev, Canelo, Zurdo. Clearly top 3 on resume alone.

    Ehhhh he trumps Inoue's resume easily. Its between him and Usyk with Usyk only a little ahead. His Beterbiev win is the most masterful performance in boxing currently IMO

    Beterbiev / Bivol should rank the same as 1-1 in fights.Atm Inoue is my no1 & Usyk no2

    maybe you're right, it's possible I'd have to think about it. Inoue has been cherry picking lately.

    Suppose Ginger beats Bud, where would you then place Bud and Ginger on that list?

    He was ranked #5 by The Ring going into this fight, Beterbiev was #4. He's obviously bare minimum #4 now but could it maybe be this now?

    #1 Usyk
    #2 Inoue
    #3 Bivol

    He has wins over a #4 P4P ranked Beterbiev and the then P4P#1 Clenelo who is still ranked #7

    Usyk, Inoue, Bivol and Beterbiev are top 4. Beterbiev probably fourth given he lost today. Bivol possibly second due to fighting better competition than Inoue, albeit in very close fights. Usyk one because he is fighting much bigger fighters.

    There is a big gap to fifth.

    Crazy that now that people on the other side of the world are investing in boxing and taking it out of Vegas the p4p list isn’t dominated by Americans anymore.

    thats a great thing. its truly global now on a competitive scale. we arent going anywhere, america is still going to produce elite fighters. but now people all over the world can follow the sport with the realistic expectation of seeing their man win.
