    It's between Usyk, Crawford, Shakur, and Inoue.

    Usyk has the best resume which is why I went with him.

    I went with Loma as his skillset is proven against much bigger opponents. He makes me think of somebody mining for diamonds he works his way in and gets closer and closer as the fight goes on he did it to Haney and Lopez he just waited too long in the Lopez fight.

    The only boxer with a loss and to be specific, three losses is tied for the top position in the poll. The force is strong with the Lomasexuals. Their devotion continues to be strong regardless of how many losses he racks up.

    :meparto:

    I presume that means when Loma was in his prime, so after 12-loss Salido completely dismantled him on the close up unable to do anything about it and before B- green Lopez completely out-boxed him at distance barring the rounds where he got tired.

    Passengers on the derailed and deranged Lomomotive are still parading their 2nd class seat instead of jumping off the free-falling train. You are not as good as your best highlight reel on TikTok and skilled fighters don't lose to that kind of opposition, see green, prime, old and severely undersized Usyk dealing with all.

    You've omitted Mr. Saul Alvarez from your poll. Please update or your poll will be incomplete.

    Inoue was fanboy of Loma, when he beat Nakatani.

    Bivol.
    His release against Canelo still impresses me. So much self-confidence, and so much perseverance that he did not deviate from his gameplan... He was better in all 12 rounds, and if the judges had awarded it that way (120-108), the opinion of public opinion would have been different. He also didn't get in trouble against the previously undefeated Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez.

    It's a difficult question to answer. If it's the fighter that has the most skills, then it's gotta be Canelo. If it's the fighter that's the most skilled at what he does, then it could be Bivol. Some fighters are more skilled at the skills they have, like Bivol, while other fighters have more of a repertoire of various skills like Canelo. Canelo can do more things than Bivol can, but what Bivol can do he is better at what he does than Canelo.

    By that I mean, Canelo is a more advanced puncher, for example, he doesn't just throw basic jabs and straights like Bivol. But Bivol's ability to pepper you with accurate straight shots over and over again, while maintaining a tight guard with good footwork is very effective and difficult to deal with. Canelo throws uppercuts, hooks, goes to the body, etc. Canelo also uses high level upper body movement, and makes you miss in skillful eye catching ways, that's a skill that Bivol doesn't possess or employ in his arsenal.

    So when we talk about skills vs skilled, we could say the most skilled fighter might be the fighter that is better at the skills he has, but he's not the most skilled in that he doesn't have as many skills that he can utilize or incoporate into his game as someone like Canelo. Canelo's like a chameleon in that he can incorporate various fighitng styles because he has such a unique skill set. Other fighters are more basic in what they can do or how they fight, but within their limited skill set are perhaps more skilled at what they actually can do.
