The Ring: Terence Crawford = #1 Pound for Pound King of Boxing, #2 Naoya Inoue!! Terence Crawford is the best fighter in Boxing today and Inoue is #2

Anybody with eyeballs Such a conspiracy :crying:........

Inoue X Bam are similar in size - Both started at the same wgt class. - Their hgt reach are almost the same. *Biggest difference is obviously Inoue is more experience at fighting at a higher wgt class. Junto is 5 ft 8 Jesse is legitimately dwarf 5 ft 4

It becomes time for the Ring to issue a P4P ranking just for smaller weight fighters, comparing 122lbers to HWs is ridiculous and too much of a stretch.

Terrible win for inoue its not even a twinkle in the sky compared to Mayweather over Canelo and i dont consider that a good win at all Dude your standards are a bit much.

Is that supposed to make Bud resume better :lol1: ???? "Twice vs GGG" :haha: Anybody with eyeballs that aren't painted on knows that GGG won the first two fights Which therefore makes Buds win worse as Canelo had already been figured out

Bam is a top 5 p4p boxer imo. Inoue beating him would be a great win despite the weight difference. Bam beating him, especially if he’s still undefeated with a Nakatani win, is an ATG win that elevates Bam to the top of the sport. I think you’re looking at it completely wrong. Terrible win for inoue its not even a twinkle in the sky compared to Mayweather over Canelo and i dont consider that a good win at all

Why are you mentioning Bam?? Inoue beating someone two weight classes below his last fight means nothing as far as legacy much like Lomas win over Rigondeaux Bam is a top 5 p4p boxer imo. Inoue beating him would be a great win despite the weight difference. Bam beating him, especially if he’s still undefeated with a Nakatani win, is an ATG win that elevates Bam to the top of the sport. I think you’re looking at it completely wrong.

What's more interesting is ---- Inoue is now calling out Bam & Junto. He said he's confident he's gonna beat those guys. May all go down in 2026. Let's see but, those are clearly the highest level fights in boxing now. talk about chasing greatness, he can be cemented as the #1 P4P. I’m waiting patiently for these fights.

Terence Crawford is the best fighter in the world. There is no debate. Naoya Inoue is the second best fighter in the world. Inoue activity is AWESOME!! Fight fans love a fighter who fights often and wins by Knockout! Inoue looks amazing in training! Another Inoue KO coming in 2 weeks! ELITE stuff from Inoue!

Spence whos career ended on the dashboard of a couple of motors? or Canelo who was closely beaten three times,twice against GGG and the gift win against Lara.or the two dominations by Bivol and Mayweather? Is that supposed to make Bud resume better :lol1: ???? "Twice vs GGG" :haha:

Terrence Crawford cannot live off his one great win vs Canelo Alvarez forever 'so for now? Crawford will be rated in the top 3 pound for pound fighters in the world. But really in my opinion, Oleksandr Uysk should still be rated as the best pound for pound fighter in the sport of boxing'. Note: Unlike Terrence Crawford, Oleksandr Uysk has great wins over fighters who were not dead at the weight 'Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua twice back to back'. And even from a pure physiological perspective? Uysk moving up into the Heavyweight Divisions and becoming a Undisputed Champions was more impressive than any feat Terrence Crawford has achieved in his career'. Crawford's move to the Super Middle Weight Divisions, is not comparable to Oleksandr Uysk's move into the Heavyweight Divisions 'Crawford for the majority of his career, has weight drained himself to be the big man on fight night. And in my opinion? He has tactically avoided fighting at his more natural fighting weight until very recently'. To conclude: So therefore, is Terrence Crawford one of the greatest fighters of his generation? Yes without a shadow of a doubt. Is Crawford skill for skill one of the most gifted fighters of this boxing era? Yes. But his resume on a fight by fight basis, is completely overrated his best wins are against 'versions of Kell Brook, Errol Spence Junior, and Amir Khan Miles outside of their peak. A semi-retired Shawn Porter, and a version of Canelo Alvarez who was dead at the weight of 168 pounds. They are all still solid wins, but in my opinion? Terrence Crawford does not have any all-time great wins on his resume, and has not been involved in any all-time great fights'. Both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's wins over Wladimir Kiltschko are more historically significant to boxing and greater individual wins than any of Terrence Crawford's best wins 'Wladimir Kiltschko vs Anthony Joshua is the greatest heavyweight title fight of the past 25 years. And Tyson Fury's win over Wladimir Kiltschko was the catalyst which eventually lead to a new heavyweight boxing era being initiated by Anthony Joshua'. The point I am trying to make is? Terrence Crawford is clearly a very talented and capable fighter. But greatness is not just about skills, it is also about feats achieved. And I personally think Crawford's resume and career is overrated'. Canelo Alvarez still has a better resume, and has beaten a higher number of superior fighters than Terrence Crawford 'those are the facts'. So for now Terrence Crawford deserves credit for his recent achievements, which have been aided by the timing of his fights vs Errol Spence Junior and Canelo Alvarez. But I don't think this high is going to last long, quite simply because his resume on a more in depth analysis does not really fortify his pound for pound greatness in the game. To the same level as past great fighters like Roy Jones Junior, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao' etc.

What's more interesting is ---- Inoue is now calling out Bam & Junto. He said he's confident he's gonna beat those guys. May all go down in 2026.

You gotta put Inoue above Usyk Just by Usyk's decision to even fight Wilder. That fight is a semi-retired, straight money grab. I guess eaten bread is soon forgotton with you!!! Usyk unifying Cruiserweight and still being undefeated if he was fighting mandatories in cruiser should be enough for hik to be considered pound for pound material but to do what he actually did and move up to heavy to fight guys who outweigh him by 30lbs on average is glorious Other guys move up weight and win they get praise but they end up weighing the same at the weigh ins Whats so hard to understand about how great it is for a cruiser to go up and unify Its mores than just going up a weight its going up in weight and being at a huge weight disadvantage at the same time

Uysk is the number 1 in my book and its not even close,he cleared out and dominated Cruiserweight then moved up and has cleared out Heavyweight for all the belts against guys who outweigh him by considerable margins Crawford has beaten two names who were shadows of theirselves in their prime,please tell me how that makes him the pound for pound number 1

The value of having 1 great win Spence whos career ended on the dashboard of a couple of motors? or Canelo who was closely beaten three times,twice against GGG and the gift win against Lara.or the two dominations by Bivol and Mayweather?

Best fighters in Boxing today: 1. Terence Crawford 2. Naoya Inoue usyk fan boys have to be crying while 40 year old usyk has no fight scheduled and hasn't fought in 6 months... Terence Crawford is the true King of Boxing right now and Naoya Inoue has Bam Rodriguez and a MEGA fight vs his fellow Jap on the horizon. usyk will fade and usyk legacy not much from just an incredibly soft and weak heavyweight division.

IMO Inoue just beating a prime Bam is a much higher accomplishment than an aged CaneloJesse would be coming up two weights with Naoya being the favorite TBud came up two weights being the underdog Saul was higher risk for TBud than Jesse is for Naoya

The value of having 1 great win

Say Naoya pulls that off then Junto and Bam become all time greats Naoya would pull ahead of TBud on all time rankings to surpass TBud in all time ranking Top Soviet Bivol would need to mop Artur thrice, Fat Dave, and Buff Guy Jai then the latter 2 become hall of famers Usyk would need to mop Biblical Moses and for him to become an all time great IMO Inoue just beating a prime Bam is a much higher accomplishment than an aged Canelo
