    Too hard to split Crawford or Inoue tbh to say which one is actually lb for lb no1 imo .

    Inoue. Spence and Crawford are old af - for a while we’ve been seeing Spence get hurt, not reacting well to it and turning away

    This is the case of people massively hyping up a guy for beating a guy that was on the way down anyway. This fight should have happened years ago

    I told y'all years ago that Crawford is a generational talent.

    I don't think anyone saying Usyk or either of these guys has a weak argument unless they just take a good argument and argue it weakly. Now, is what I just said a sensible sentence? I don't know. I am...very sleepy.

    I agree, Crawford, Inoue, Usyk is the order now. If Crawford hadn't won so convincingly Inoue would still be p4p 1.

    Spence/Brook were more shopworn than Nonito Donaire

    How about we rate Crawford after he beats someone who isn’t on the way out

    "Spence was shopworn!".

    Man, Crawford will NEVER get credit from some of you.

    Spence had just comfortably beat Ugas few months earlier. Donaire already lost very convincingly to Rigo in his prime as well as people like Walters and he was just beat again yesterday

    Usyk hasn't done anything lately. Too inactive for me, and he struggled in the AJ rematch.

    Bud made a statement with that win. Hard to not have him P4P #1 after that. But in hindsight, perhaps Spence was overrated. Still that doesn't take away from the brilliant performance by Bud. He definitely solidified himself as P4P #1. Of course Inoue has an argument as well. What's interesting is Bud was already #1 P4P on ESPN. But Usyk is #1 P4P on Ring and Bud was #3. The question is this win enough to move Bud from #3 P4P on Ring to #1? You would think that perhaps Inoue and Bud will move ahead of Usyk now given that they both had big wins. I'd imagine this would drop Spence out of P4P contention, and move Canelo, Bivol and Haney up a spot. Spence might drop out of the Top 10 due to how bad of a loss it was for him. Yes it was against Bud but I don't see how you can keep Spence in the P4P Top 10 given the one-sidedness of that and how many times he was knocked down.
