    Again, Usyk is great but the cruiserweight and HW divisions are weak, especially compared to the lighter divisions. I don't even rate Joshua or Fury that high. Those two dudes are amongst the weakest champions in boxing, the only reason why they get any recognition is because they are HWs.

    So sure, Usyk gets a mention in P4P for beating the champions at HW, but there are fighters between 115-147 fighting exceptional fighters.

    Again, the CW division was very strong when he unified all the titles, ''weak divisions'' = ones not dominated by North American fighters.

    Clenelo became undisputed in the super weak SMW division whilst avoiding, at worst, the 2nd best fighter in it.

    Usyk doesn't just get a mention he's P4P#1 on merit. The only competition to his claim are Crawford who is a three weight champion who fought in three weak divisions and became undisputed in his third by beating Jeff Horn and the way overrated Spence. None of the fighters he's fought were close to being exceptional

    The other is Inoue who has fought in weak divisions too and has not fought anyone exceptional

    You might not rate AJ of Belly that high, I don't rate anyone Clenelo has legitimately beaten high, especially in recent years, or anyone Crawford or Inoue etc. has either

    Between these two posts you've both basically said there isn't a single fighter worth a **** in the sport. :lol:

    Here's the rules

    OK, fine I'll play

    But now you got to play by them too



    That's my approach on here. Has been for a long time

    Of course you are blind to the points made. You need to watch women’s field hockey.
