Where does the winner of Bivol-Beterbiev rank P4P?

#1. No question about it.

 

Probably should be number 2 behind Usyk.

 

Really good question. I don't think of the two of them in quite the same way so my rating will be a bit different.

The thing about Inoue, Crawford and Usyk is how devastatingly dominant they have been while also achieving great things. Obviously, they have all have had the occasional fight where they weren't dominant but overall they have been fantastic.

Right now I have Canelo at number four with Bivol and Beterbiev on the short list of fighters right behind him. Should Bivol win I would say that win, combined with his one-sided victory over Alvarez and the fact that he would have unified the 175 title, would move Bivol up to #3 ahead of Canelo and Crawford. (It pains me to say that because Bud is my favorite active boxer.)

Should Beterbiev win I think I might move him up to number four but I'm not even sure of that.

In any event, I am really excited for this fight.

 

Probably #2 behind Usyk.

I will still have Usyk at #1 because of how he overcome huge size disadvantages vs Joshua and Fury. But if Bivol wins, he would have beaten Beterbiev who is a more formidable fighter than either Fury or Joshua.

 

1. Usyk
2. Inoue
3. Winner bivol beterbiev
4. Crawford
5. Canelo

 

Nobody had beaten other P4P boxer in the list yet.

Beterbiev KOs Bivol and he is 21 wins, 21 KO's, undisputed champion that beat P4P boxer in his PRIME. Nobody on that list has beaten other P4P boxer.

Inoue and Usyk had never beaten anyone P4P in current division.

 

Number 2 or 3 for me. I wouldn't rank the winner over Usyk unless Usyk loses to Fury.

 

I say 3. Usyk 1 and Inoue 2.

 

The big 3 becomes a big 4.

 

Where does everyone have Bivol and Beterbiev on the P4P list right now after the results? Do they both have a case in being the Top 5?

 

Still the same as before.

Usyk, Inoue, Crawford & Beterbiev are all undisputed champions at one time or another. Bivol, despite the "loss", is still an elite P4P fighter.

 

Absolutely.

For me Beterbiev 4, Bivol 5

 

Top 3

Usyk
Inoue
Beterbiev

 

I still have the big 3 ahead
Bud didn't look great his last fight, but he has some serious longevity and has moved through the weights

My top 2 are Usyk and Inoue. Usyk is 1 to be fair and it's hard to put anyone in front of him

Usyk
Inoue
Bud
Beterbiev
Bivol
