    A lot of you forget this about P4P

    totally agree with most comments about Usyk being #1 P4P vs Inoue and Crawford. Those who don't, a lot of you forget this:

    A great heavyweight will always be more popular than a stellar superbantam or below for mere difference in audience size. More popularity means more people will vote for you, which translates into important names voting for you even when there is a difference in achievements. Even welter weight don't often get that - Floyd and PAC were exceptions. Usyk will always be #1 over any bantams/welters/middle​

    His win over fury is more impressive than anyone else in the top 10 so i’d easily put him at number 1.

      You can add in Oscar and Leonard they got pretty big as was Hagler Hearns Duran etc and the PPV figures are with little guys, I dont like HWs they big lumbering guys that dont have the ability of the smaller greats, its a casuals weightclass that gets the media hype for the man in the street, P4P is supposed to be about who is the best if they were the same size thats the idea its got nothing or should have nothing to do with popularity its about boxing ability, I dont even put HWs into that category they cant fight at all compared to the skills and dynamics of a Inoue or Crawford. Ive followed boxing for over 50yrs if you want to see great boxers its the little guys.
