Lol how many fighter's do you know reach their peak aged 23? Therefore, you can't compare a young, green and weight-drained Canelo Mayweather fought with the 31yo Bivol beat.
Re GGG, I agree but it's a matter of opinion plus I'm only referring to official losses.Comment

The first fight was close and controversial, the second fight Triple Ducks face looked like pounded hamburger meat and he left the ring crying like a little b itch, couldn’t even stay for an interview, that’s not “whooping someone’s ass”. 0-2-1. Keep crying.Comment

Take away Canelo and 40 year old ass Beterbiev and that’s a terrible resume. Nothing but a bunch of nobodies, Malik Zinad? Really?
Bivol vs world title winning opposition:
W vs Jean Pascal UD 12
W vs Joe Smith Jr. UD 12
W vs Canelo Alvarez UD 12
W vs Gilberto Ramirez UD 12
L vs Artur Beterbiev MD 12
W vs Artur Beterbiev UD 12
other notable wins: Sullivan Barrera, Isaac Chilemba, Lenin Castillo, Lyndon Arthur, Malik Zinad
He's well deserving of his P4P #4 ranking, and he will have more opportunities to rise if he keeps fighting and beating quality opposition. Benavidez, the Beterbiev trilogy, and a potential move up to cruiserweight would all enhance his legacy. And he wanted to move down to 168 for a Canelo fight, but Canelo refused.Comment

Strongly disagree. It is the other way round.
Bivol hasn't got any clear flaws or weaknesses. Everything is just elite. Only thing anyone can mention is his ko ratio but that is part of his style, working on winning every round.
Usyk main asset is his workrate. His opponents can't keep up, so if it is even for the first half, he always comes on top in the second half.
Usually his fights are really competitive for the first 5-6 rounds.
And he has never fought anybody (and is unlikely too, with the current heavyweights) who also has a great cardio and workrate.
Also, a big difference technically: When Usyk has to move backwards, he shells up. Punching going backwards isn't his thing.
Bivol is as effective in punching coming forward as he is going backwards, like no one else in boxing. His attack patterns are also very hard to read.

Bivol being short for these weights but outboxing everyone as he fights like a tall guy is testament to Bivol being a master boxerStrongly disagree. It is the other way round.
