    Spence did look shopworn, a lot of that had to do with Bud. Bud deserves credit, but lets face it, Spence looked very low skill. Fulton arguably looked better against Inoue than Spence did against Bud.

    To be honest, what is more interesting and what is reflected by the poll is who is number three. Usyk was right in there before this month and he's been left in the wake of these two now, probably still closer to first than third but still - and beating up DDD isn't going to persuade anyone that it is otherwise.

    What's interesting is the Ring P4P rankings. Bud's already #1 on ESPN's. But the Ring has Usyk #1, Inoue #2 and Bud #3. Could we see Usyk drop to #3 after Inoue and Bud's big wins? Will Bud jump Inoue on the Ring?

    I admit, I do still check out the Ring ratings, but Jesus H Christ the thing is literally owned by a promoter and their rankings are ****ing weird man.

    Crawdad baby! That beatdown he just put on a pfp champion was special. Brought his best to his biggest fight and showed the world who is the true King of boxing. Respect!

    Crawford is an elite boxer and a BAD man.

    It's a grift, because i helt with them, but TBRB is the one I am most interested in, primarily because I see how it works. They're in Boxing News. I used to keep a close eye on Bloody Elbow too but their list is by the by now - FightNews used to run a good list, gone. It's slim pickings these days tbh to find a consistent, well run, regularly updated list that you trust.

    Crawford has always looked top P4P on the eye-test, but his problem up until - at least before Porter - had been resume. He doesn't have that issue anymore and is wanting Charllo at 154.

    As special as his display was against Spence, it was pretty much what I expected from Bud - Errol was caught with so many fast counters and jabs that he just didn't see coming, and Crawford has that spiteful finishing instinct. Maybe I didn't think Crawford would dominate from so early and turn maybe a small Spence lead around, but it was a special display.

    Inoue is not far behind, but he needs something like a Loma at 130 to wrest it back IMO

    Yes, he needs to get Fury in the ring and dominate him. To be honest though, I'm not convinced he's capable anymore of the amazing performances like we saw from Inoue and Crawford - he's getting old. (I know Crawford is also older and I would have said the same, but he surprised me).

    Crawford's timing is next level. If anyone is wondering why he's had so many KO wins recently , it's because his timing is impeccable. He has this innate ability to land just as his opponent is preparing a shot which means punches that might not be exceptionally heavy become devastating because the opponent just doesn't see them coming.

    Crawford fought a cadaver.

    Inoue went up in weight and fought the consensus #1 and even wrapped his hands the way his opponent demanded.

    If Usyk beats Tyson Fury he will have a very strong argument as well
