TBud Rates Himself #2, Usyk P4P King, & Naoya #3

[SouthpawRight]

beating Saul would elevate TBud back to p4p king

Is TBud accurate?

“[I’m] the Ring number three? How y’all rating me number three? Who rating me at number three? I gotta go talk to them. [Oleksandr] Usyk number one, he better be number one. Over Usyk? I’m not over Usyk, but I’m over Inoue.”

[famicommander]

I think it's reasonable to put Inoue, Usyk, and Crawford in the top 3 in any order, though I currently favor Inoue due to his activity.

Their resumes are all beyond reproach (TBRB rankings used, secondary/interim world titles ignored)

Is TBud accurate?

Love Crawford but when was he ever P4P king?

[famicommander]

Love Crawford but when was he ever P4P king?

A lot of people had him #1 when he became a three division lineal king with the win over Spence.

List of 3 division lineal champions in the history of boxing:
Bob Fitzsimmons
Tony Canzoneri
Barney Ross
Henry Armstrong
Thomas Hearns
Ray Leonard
Oscar De La Hoya
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao
Terence Crawford

Inoue will become the next to accomplish the feat if he can become lineal king at featherweight.

[hugh grant]

Risks you take and resume means your no3 or 4. Beat Nel o and your no1

[JOITATS]

No top fighter should be bitchin' publicy about whether he should be rated #2 instead #3 in Ring magazine.

So vain. Anyways he fights only once a year. And that one time, he barely beat a no name named Madrimov. That's why.

[HisExcellency]

bud says usyk is p4p1 & usyk says bud is p4p1

both are friendly or even friends maybe

Lol that's practically the ONLY reason Bud considers Usyk p4p#1. Normally, he'd say he's the best and even better than Pacquiao and belongs on the Mount Rushmore of boxing (if he beats Canelo)!

You love posting this, like it makes Bud's resume look any better. That list of names is less than stellar (I'm being nice), I don't care where they were ranked.

You are a sad fanboy. Sorry for whatever happened in your life to make you the way you are, but it's your own problem.

[Gary Coleman]

You are a sad fanboy. Sorry for whatever happened in your life to make you the way you are, but it's your own problem.

That's rich. From the person that desperately tries to validate one of the absolute worst resumes for an ATG in the history of the sport every chance he gets.

Try as you may, you ain't polishing that turd.
