    Both Crawford and Inoue are the favorites in their upcoming fight in July and have a chance to become 2 time undisputed champions. Crawford beating Spence would make him the first to do so while Inoue would still have to face Tapales after Fulton. If they both manage to pull it off within this year who would you rank higher in terms of resume?

    Currently I think Inoue has a better resume than Crawford, but I also think that Crawford beating Spence would be a huge boost for him. Inoue beating Fulton and Tapales is good but not in the same level as Spence.

    It would be a huge deal to see 2 undefeated fighters winning all the belts in 2 different weight classes. That's something that's rarely done.

    Usyk also has a chance to accomplish the same feat as well. Too bad Fury is too busy being an insufferable ass to make that happen.

    Crawford beating Spence is a more impressive feat. I have Spence in my top 10 P4P can't say that for any Inoue win even if he does become undisputed at 122. So Crawford would have to rank above Inoue.

    Agree with this. Crawford's resume isn't the best but a huge win over Spence would indeed remedy that. It's too bad that he had to wait so long to finally have a real opponent to face.

    Inoue.

    Inoue's the one going up to his 4th weight division and going right after the consensus #1 guy in his first fight who is also a unified champion. Fulton will be significantly bigger and he's younger as well.

    Spence is damaged goods as a fighter due to accidents, inactivity, and could possibly be drained making 147 this time around. He's admitted as such saying that he'd fight Clenelo at 165-168 because it's his natural weight (his words).

    Spence can barely formulate a full sentence these days and he has lapses in the ring when he gets hit flush.

    Funnily enough I see Spence climbing western P4P lists since the fight was announced when he shouldn't even be ranked being inactive. :D Definite setup to crown the winner when Inoue has been fight champion after champion and Usky big guy after big guy. No way in hell the winner ranks over either should they beat Fulton or Fury, neither a given.

    That said, Crawford might have the most natural talent P4P and it's even more frustrating he hasn't been fighting elite, prime champs at their natural weight. So I'm picking him over Spence for over 5 years and have no idea if he's really that good under pressure. The winner does earn a no3 spot though behind Inousyk, with Canelo suffering that recent loss, but even with that his resume craps all over Spencford

    Your point is moot as Spence is going to Bolivianize Crawford.

    Neither Inoue nor Crawford have a p4p resume. People get a little carried away here sometimes.

    A win over Spence would be the best win in boxing. Right now I'd say Teo's win over Loma is the best win in boxing.

    Win or lose, better resume belongs to Inoue. If Crawford wins he's the better fighter no matter what Inoue does in his bout.

    What do you guys think now? Still shocking to see how Inoue and Crawford showed complete dominance this past week.

    Inoue most likely steamrolls Tapales and becomes 2x undisputed. If Crawford ends up fighting Jarron Ennis next and beats him this year he would have a really good case of being Fighter of the Year in my opinion.

    Anybody doubting that Crawford can move upto 154 and go Undisputed in a third Division or that Inoue can go Undisputed in a second Division ?
