IF Lomachenko beats Linares would he have the best resume in boxing for an active elite world fighter, and would you consider him number # 1 P4P as far as skill and resume are concerned?
Linares isn't a pushover and is a p4p fighter one division up from Lomachenkos last division. He is bigger and stronger, that being said I do favor Lomachenko it isn't a foregone conclusion.
(Edit - I am not counting Paquio as he is on the way out and his best wins were close to half a decade ago or older)
i think hes clearly p4p number 1 as it is, diaz burns and indongo clearly doesnt compare to walters, rigondeaux and russell jr. theres an even bigger gap if he beats linares, which he will.
I like Russell Jr, he's talented. But it's an ok win, Russell hasn't really done much. A lot of it is his fault and his inactivity but I won't act like he isn't being avoided either. Mares has been the only one man enough to say he would fight him, the others don't even mention his name

I think Canelo has a better resume than Crawford.
