    Loma

    Yes Loma - he was robbed against Haney, and beat a middleweight on the night, and Loma is a small dude.

    Really, only Usyk and Loma have routinley been giving away the kind of size advantages and still looking top drawer that say P4P to me, but I feel Inoue will manage to do well at 126

    No such thing it's nonsense. But anyone that CUTS 30/40lbs to fight in a small division certainly wouldn't be on mine.

    Crawford beat Shawn Porter, Usyk lost to Porter. Usyk fought light heavyweight Maiiris Breidis to a draw, Breidis is from the well known boxing country Latvia which has produced many top pound for pound fighters(not). Crawford has never been held to a draw by such a limited fighter. Enough said.

    I guess it depends on what you consider more impressive

    Fighter A - moves up in weight and is fighting opponents way bigger, heavier and often longer than them

    Won and unified all their belts in their opponent's backyards on a deck stacked against them sans once when they won their last belt on 'neutral' soil which to be fair isn't exactly neutral because the host of the event is business partners with their opponent's promoter and was openly cheerleading for fighter A's opponent who was already the recipient of a highly controversial decision in their previous bout over there

    Has never had home advantage in any of their world title fights sans one which wasn't even in their country

    Who has had a whopping 2 home officials in all of their world title bouts and fights at the world level combined

    Has fought a murderer's row of big punchers, KO artists, and a whole bunch of the hardest punchers in the sport and I mean P4P hardest not just literally the hardest, their size, bigger and way bigger

    vs

    Fighter B - who was gigantic for their 1st weight, massive for their 2nd, very big for their 3rd, and weighed more for their debut in their 4th than their career opponent at that weight did

    Has very often been the much bigger or bigger man, rarely the smaller one, and likely never much smaller

    Has never been at a reach disadvantage in any of their world title fights, let alone a big or huge one

    Has fought in their home country in 40 of their 41 fights

    Won all their world titles in their home country on a deck stacked in their favour sans once, meaning all their foreign opponents brought their titles to them, including when fighter B was the challenger x 2

    Unified all their world titles at home

    Has never defended any of their world titles in their opponent's country

    Has had a scandalous amount of home refs and judges, often having a full set of 4 even for world title fights vs foreigners

    And has barely fought any legit punchers and KO artists their size, let alone ones bigger or way bigger and on two of the extremely rare occasions they did they got dropped by one of them. Now imagine that fighter who dropped them had 20-40lbs on them, a way longer reach, in their backyard, and was a world champion not a mere contender. Smelling salts

    Usyk beat a demigod who was reigning down thunder on him and outweighed him by 40 pounds.

    Crawford beat up a homeless weight drained post crash weed smoking Spence
    Inoue is on drugs and is not of legal drinking age yet

    P4P is a lame concept and Floyd Mayweather should be ashamed for giving such promotion to it and for the notion that having an 0 on your record holds value when for 99% of fighters it will merely be a question mark and point of criticism.

    Meanwhile Usyk doesn't promote P4P and he never mentions his unbeaten record. Oleksandr Usyk is better than Floyd Mayweather as a fighter and as a man. Infinitely.

    The amount of Crawford fanboys on social media saying it was 9-3 for Crawford against Madrimov is comical. You can't take these cultists remotely seriously. One fighter even said Crawford ''exposed'' Madrimov. Just think about that for a second but make sure you switch your brain to on first :lol:

    These are the same clowns who cite him beating 2 Olympic gold medalists to try and pump up his weak resume, one of whom Diaz won a robbery in the semis.

    What a dumb argument

    Usyk actually IS an Olympic gold medalist, was robbed against the silver medalist in his first Olympics, and a world amateur champion gold medalist and European gold medalist :facepalm:

    Loma is a 2 x Olympic gold medalist at two different weights, and a 2 x world amateur gold medalist at two different weights, a European gold medalist, a junior world gold medalist and the amateur GOAT. How many medalists do you think they beat or prevented from winning gold, silver or bronze because they beat them? :facepalm:
