    Shakur Stevenson believes he is already the most talented fighter in the sport, although he does admit that he hasn’t done enough to warrant that top spot yet. I believe Shakur is well on his way to those high pound for pound rankings though!

    Who else do you believe will be in the mix to take that throne after Canelo? Some more names that I think will be up there: Naoya Inoue, Boots Ennis, Vergil Ortiz, outside pick just for the UK representative; Galal Yafai.

    If you think canelo is the GOAT (which I don’t) and he retires, shakur will have a good claim to the top spot assuming he does something with his career and Inoue just suddenly gets KOed a couple of times out of the blue.

    Well. Canelos got a tough one up next so its actually smart to put money on Usyk or Inoue inheriting it through means of his losing.

    If Canelo should hold the spot for another five years (I would say thats unlikely), then somebody on the come up who would be an unwarranted shout out right now.

    Beating Valdez puts him in the top 10. Then if he goes up and beats the top guys at 135… Maybe 140 years down the line

    I think Canelo beats Bivol but you’re right, if Bivol does beat him then Usyk or Inoue take that top spot
