I have never ranked fighters pfp based on potential. Wins and losses count under pressure. PFP is opinion, not fact, but how can you rank a guy #1 and he lost? Resume does count because the better the comp, the higher ranking. Displaying skills in big fights is why fighters get ranked pfp, not potential.

Kell Brook was on his feet, still returning fire, but his vision had already gone and his corner saved him.
Golovkin wasn't laying a beating on him, the action wasn't all just one way, and it's not like Golovkin walked away without any marks of having been in a fight.
This wasn't Gatti-Mayweather, this wasn't Fonfara-Smith, heck this wasn't even Lomachenko-Walters.
Brook picked up a serious eye injury, in a fight that was still being fought on 50/50 terms. lolComment

Lomachenko has the same issues that Usyk will have, imo; so much of his offense relies on the opponent putting themselves out of position by following one of the bait shots that you'd nullify most of the work by simply keeping to the fundamentals.
Errol Spence Jr's full potential is still to be known, but he's emerging as a southpaw cross of Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Even if they did manage to magically be the same size, I don't know if Lomachenko has an answer if Spence would resign himself to not falling for the bait and simply kept that pressure coming.Comment

I don't rank Loma P4P no.1 but I think the consensus if that He lost in only his 2nd fight to a very veteran guy who came in over weight and cheated. Also in addition to that, he barely lost and almost scored a late stoppage against him.I have never ranked fighters pfp based on potential. Wins and losses count under pressure.

At the end, yes the action was a one way beating. You need to go back and look at it again if you disagree. GGG was on his way to rendering him unconscious very shortly.Kell Brook was on his feet, still returning fire, but his vision had already gone and his corner saved him.

I disagree with this. Loma would have faster hands, better footwork, and he is much better at creating angles. I don't think he would be ****** enough to let Spence cut the ring off on him. Now, if Crawford was the same size as Spence I would still favor Spence due to the fact that Crawford wouldn't be able to handle that type of pressure. It would be like Brook but quicker.Lomachenko has the same issues that Usyk will have, imo; so much of his offense relies on the opponent putting themselves out of position by following one of the bait shots that you'd nullify most of the work by simply keeping to the fundamentals.
