You can make the case that the 4 best boxers in the world are all Southpaws.

LomaChicken, CrowFart, Spent , Yuks

 

Bit early for Spence to on this list, IMO, Brook showed Spences lack of experience ,saying that Brook is a lot better boxer than given credit for. yes BJS should 2nd...

 

Usyk?

For beating Charr and Briedis only?

Really?

 

Usyk has never fought Charr.

He's rated highly for beating Głowacki, Mchunu, Huck and Briedis all in very impressive fashion (plus a string of B-graders he dominated and looked godlike against before stepping up in class)

 

6 and add Paq.

 

7 and add Andrade.

 

I meant Huck, not charr....but the same point stands.

If you're losing rounds to guys like Briedis you can't seriously claim you could be a force at heavyweight...


Why hasn't Briedis been touted as the 'Future of the Heavyweights' over the past 10 years?

 

Wait you think Huck and Charr are interchangeable?

 

All four need better resumes.

Usyk is skilled, but fights in one of weakest divisions in boxing. Huck has been shot for years, Mchunu was complete garbage, and Hunter was an inactive novice. Glowacki and Briedis are average at best. Gassiev would be a solid win, but until he moves up to heavyweight I can't Jude him very high.

Cruiserweight has historically and still is a mediocre division, but from time to time produces heavyweights like Holyfield and Haye.

Crawford dominated 140, but 140 was also a weak division. If he does the same at 147 than he's easily one of the best fighters in boxing today.

Loma has been feasting on weak competition since his loss to Salido, but Linares is a step in the right direction, but I still think he should've beat Machado and Berchelt first.


Errol Spence for now is still unproven. GGG ruined Brook, so I can't give Spence much credit for the win. If Spence can do the same to Thurman and Crawford then he deserves to be called one of the best in boxing.

 

Would they be considered 'good wins' for Joshua/Wilder/Fury? No.

So, as Usyk is the 'next great heavyweight', they're not impressive wins.
