Where does Usyk rank P4P now after the Joshua victory?

Definitely.

Cruiser only exists because heavies got bigger and arguably Bridger is a necessary addition at this point as well...
To bypass that emerging division and beat a well established champion who's 20lbs heavier and 4" reach longer - that's a special nights work.

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

I like Alvarez and he's the clear number 2. But there's no way in a million years you can put him ahead of Usyk at this point unless you are a Usyk hater. I could list all the reasons but it'd be a very long list. Usyk is the CLEAR p4p number 1.

 

It's between him and Canelo. He's entering Holyfield territory.

 

I have him at 1 now with Canelo a close second.

 

Great amateur background
Olympic champ
CW undisputed Champ
4 belt HW Champ

He’s number 1 for sure.

 

#1. He cleaned cruiserweight division and did it on the road, then he won HW title on the road too

 

Canelo is a cheat he was caught juicing , he lost twice to GGG and a few more fights and got decision wins just because of corrupt judges.

 

I think he's #1 now. Usually I'm a little reluctant to rate Heavyweights that high, but for this converted Heavy I think we can make an exception! This is a legitimately historic-level win. Canelo, as pound for pounders go, is bang average and he's been a privileged fighter his whole career. Undeserved decisions, his camp always dictating terms, opponents coming to his backyard.

Usyk has beaten everyone legitimately and without controversy, doing it as the away fighter in his opponent's back yard almost every time, and he's looked classy in doing so. There are some very good talents vying for that top spot, but none of them have proven anywhere near as much as he has in the past few years.

He's the man right now, for me.

 

#1

After this performance, someone else will have to do something extra special to oust him IMO; like Canelo would need to go up and beat Beterbiev after he walks through Plant.

 

What Usyk has done in so few fights is unique… He did it all on the road too.. it is the stuff of pound for pound .. he's number one. Mexican beef is ridiculously enhanced & lost twice to GGG & was schooled by a WW. Crawford is a weight bully with a **** resume.

 

Instant top spot
Canelo would have to beat plant in spectacular fashion & then challenge Usyk himself in order to contest.

 

#1 or #2 and it’s not even a debate for anyone other than those two. Resume wise there is Canelo/Usyk, a major gap and then everybody else.
