    :lol:

    He'll stay in the same place if he wins. Beating a guy moving up in weight, who has done nothing at the higher weight, does nothing for the bigger fighter. Same way the Rigo win did nothing for Loma, besides give him a good payday.

    You think Bellew is his best win? I just don't get your logic.

    Anyway who exactly do you think are as good as Gassiev, Breidis, Glowacki, Huck, Hunter and Bellew? I think Glowacki and Hunter are pretty underrated myself.

    Bellew has the best wins of any of his opponents, that’s my logic. Who do you think is his best win then, Breidis? Breidis best scalps are Manuel Charr and the ghost of Mike Perez. He’s even less proven than Adrien Broner. I rate a guy like Salido more than anyone on Usyks resume.

    Bellew? Makabu? An old crippled Haye? Not for me. The other names I mentioned all beat Bellew IMO. He was a contender who was lucky to pick up a strap.

    I think looking at Breidis and Gassiev they look far more impressive at CW than Broner did once he left 135. Salido is a solid win but finished on a TD after 8 when Salido is known for pushing guys hard for a whole fight.

    Gassiev will go on to have a good career and as I said Glowacki and Hunter are both horribly underrated. I don't think Mikey's opposition stands up there, I think he could of really done with taking out Linares.

    He might crack my 10 spot if it's dominant and I feel generous.

    Bottom line is that Mikey is debuting at the division (his fifth?).

    Spence is the goods, I do believe, but based on what he's actually done the dude is nowhere close to P4P top 10. If he loses the next four fights in a row and retires, you guys who currently rank him P4P are utter buffoons. A P4P list shouldn't be your personal belief in their future.

    Mikey - terribly underrated resume, still shows up on every P4P list

    Spence - terribly overrated resume, shows up on fanboys' P4P list

    Yes Bellews resume isn’t great at all, but which of Usyks opponents has a better one?

    Hard to say as Breidis and Gassiev haven’t faced anything like the quality of opposition that Broner did once he moved up. Having said that, Breidis had a close fight with the shell of Mike Perez and Gassiev went life and death with old Lebedev. Neither have impressed me much, Gassiev can wack but is crude and one dimensional, Breidis is solid but nothing to write home about.

    Salido win finished on a TD, so what. Mikey completely dominated him and knocked him down 4 times. Salido was not gonna win that fight.

    Glowacki and Hunter are solid fighters, nothing more. The more I think about it, the more Mikeys resume stands out as clearly better quality.
