If Norman beats Haney, I think it should be him.

Bivol Bivol & Bivol...nothing eclipses handing Beterbiev his first loss and becoming undisputed.

If Crawford can go up 2 weight classes and beat an all-time great in Canelo, it's him.

Based on beating just Haney? In his first fight at WW?

Canelo is not great anymore though. He artificially extended his career by ducking benavidez and fighting hand picked opponents for 4 years. Would be a good win but you don't get special moving up in weight points.

Honestly if roach wasnt robbed that would had been the biggest upset I think in the past 2 years. Uysk has been on a roll so it will be him. The only person that can leap frog to #1 is Crawford if he can knockout or cleanly sweep canelo which probably isnt happening.

Bivol is up there too but Uysk being a two time undisputed probably puts him up there. Remember if Crawford wins he would be undisputed in 3 divisions.
