Massively appreciating the stats based breakdown. Course there's intangibles too, like Usyk's taking on guys very much larger and his late start in the pros, but taking the subjectivity out of the equation gets the debate off to a really good start, creates a good framework for discussion. Kudos man. Crazy how tight the stats are for Inoue and Bud, just a whisker between em on almost all meaningful acomplishments in the sport.Comment

The major difference between Crawford and Inoue is that Inoue was able to turn himself into the cash cow for his weight and the surrounding weights, so he is able to select any opponent he wants at any time. That wasn't the case in his few weights, but by the time he got to 118 it was clear that an Inoue fight was too big of a check for any opponent to want to duck.
Crawford, on the other hand, ended up frozen out by promotional politics and never really proved himself to be a huge draw at the box office. So he had to spend more time and more fights to get the same relative number of quality opponents.Comment

its healthy for boxing that for quite a while any 1 of 3 could be p4p no1Comment

Usyk can't do much more. You can theoretically have usyk above inoue. But of course most assume inoue can do more to overtake usyk? So what would that be, name your price! Does inoue need to be champ at 130?
There's comes a point when you must admit your in denial.Comment
