Shakur Stevenson and Naoya Inoue. However, it's impossible to say until the dust settles. I will say this: I've been very high on Keyshawn Davis for a long time. But here's the interesting thing. Davis was fighting on DAZN when he first started, and you should have seen what people were saying about him. Many said he was a hype job and that he didn't look good at all in his three fights with it. Fast forward now to Top Rank, and all of a sudden he's a next gen superstar. But nothing has really changed from then until now EXCEPT he's being matched against cushy opposition by Top Rank matchmakers.

So you have to wonder how much of this is smoke and mirrors? You always have to ask yourself that and won't know the answer until these guys are fighting champions.

Inoue is great, but you see this all the time, where a guy has a mediocre victory and then the hype goes off the rails. People are talking about pushing Inoue up the P4P list after this fight. But why? He beat a guy he'd already beat before, and he just fought an older version. It means nothing and should do ZERO to affect his P4P status.

It's amusing seeing the ebbs and flow of the fanboying.

Never even heard of Keyshawn Davis.

Will be sure to keep an eye out for him

Yeah. I like Keyshawn more than I like Shakur, hands down. Keyshawn reminds me of a blend of Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns. You combine those guys together, you get Keyshawn Davis, IMO. (And I mean fighting style before I get jumped on by people on the forum. He's still a prospect.)

How was his amateur career ?

Great! Actually. He won silver in the last Olympics and he won silver twice at AIBA. Unfortunately he came up agains the same opponent every time in the finals, which was Andy Cruz. And even though he lost, you could have flipped a coin and picked the winner. That's how close it was, IMO.

What about Loma, Canelo, Crawford and Usyk?
