This would be it. Be warned this won't be popular.
1. Usyk - Thoroughly cleared a deep division full of skilled punchers all on Road, whooped AJ twice, spooked Fury into fighting in exhibitions.
2. Inoue - Lacks a real stand out win but moves up and tries to challenge himself just nobody down there is good enough to test him.
3. Canelo - Accomplished, great resume but would like to see him in another 50/50 vs Benavidez - Hard to put Inoue ahead of him but ones on the way up, one is on the way out.
4. Crawford - Accomplished, skilled, excellent fighter whose resume still lacks for me.
5. Bivol - Beat Canelo & has some other 'solid wins' but needs to fight Beterbiev to cement himself.
6. Estrada - Underrated, unappreciated. Excellent fighter.
Struggling here, this is actually difficult because it feels so wrong to put so many in such a list. Just splitting hairs really.
7. Teofimo - Blows hot & cold but has two very good wins, don't like him but can't take it away from him.
8. Chocolatito - Past his best but still up there imo until proven otherwise - A lot will say he shouldn't be on the list but he just beat El Rey & had two razor thin great fights with a fellow ATG (Had him winning the rematch, Estrada winning the trilogy) and showed he is still a little demon. 36 at that weight and still performing like that? Unbelievable. Him & Estrada are easily among the best of their generation.
9. Bam Rodriguez - Similar to Crawford in a sense he has beaten some good names albeit past it, Edwards is an awkward prime opponent that will help him move up a few places - will answer how he fairs vs a mover.
10. Fury - Could be higher, could also not be on the list. Pointless trilogies with Wilder, Chisora, Whyte, now Ngannou, err what a waste of time, talent.
No Haney, no Loma, Beterbiev, Spence, Fulton, Tank, Shakur, Prograis, Beterbiev, Boots = Just not p4p quality or need to prove more. Haney vs Prograis winner would make the list
