[Knuckle sandwich]

Inoue fights four times a year 1#

[MulaKO]

Tom Ivers has some pretty dumb reasoning. Usyk remains #1 (not really close) and Crawford and Inoue can argue about #2.

I’m going to say Inoue just because he fights more often than Usyk
But I have no problem with Usyk being #1

[Jab jab boom]

I am going with Usyk because he is still fighting guys that outweigh him by 30-40 lbs and with Fury over 50 lbs. and beating them easier than Crawford beat Canelo. Crawford struggled with Madrimov and I think if Crawford fought a Beneviedez at 168 he loses. Canelo IMO was ripe for the picking considering his last performances. Inoue is good but his chin is not. I just do not think you can really get around Usyks ability to KO guys that are so much bigger. Plus the resume...DDD twice..Fury twice and AJ twice.

So Canelo was ripe for the taking but Fury wasn’t? May want to look back at fury’s fight before Usyk because he seemed way more vulnerable than Canelo. The resume of ddd and AJ twice is decent but both of them were always overrated Brits. Usyk is great but even he considered Crawford the best fighter in the world.

ita obviously Inoue.

ita obviously Inoue.

1. TBud best of this generation
2. Naoya
3. Usyk
4. Bivol

if all same size TBud and Naoya would fold Usyk who suspect downstairs

But TBud and Bivol outbox Naoya

TBud gets the most wins in this 4 man merry-go-round due to being the best adjuster because highest ring iq paired with his complete skill set

the most versatile of the 4

[SouthpawRight]

TBud is a five dimension boxer can fight outside, midrange, inside, in clinches, and box on the back foot

the other 3 clinch fighting is nowhere near as good as his

Bivol and Usyk are lacking on the inside especially Usyk old Derek was a handful for him

We have the big three names with great accomplishments, and each could be tied, but for me, it is Crawford at #1.
