"They already know my place" entitled much?

The only time I could see a heavyweight on a P4P list is if a career cruiser comes up and wins a title a la Holyfield/Haye and potentially Usyk (who I see as way more talented than Haye).

Heavyweights that could never squeeze down cruiser are just too unquantifiable with the massive gaps in size/weight advantages. The only one I could see is Fury who actually moves and boxes like a smaller fighter (excluding of course his bean pole jab).

Agreed on Usyk being better than Haye. He's the most complete boxer at the weight and therefore best CW I've seen in my lifetime - including Holyfield who had limited opposition until he moved up to HW. Haye was just a big puncher who lost his edge of speed when he put on loads of muscle to go up to HW.
I can't count the big guys' size against them though. Yes there are some HW's that could get below 200lbs if they tried, but some are just built bigger and at 6'6 and 235lbs or bigger are around their natural weight. The best these guys can possibly do to make their p4p case is to fight HW's with a wide range of different physiques and techniques.

He doesn't actually say he's #1 and in other times he's actually come out and said he hasn't done enough yet. I think he means 'that's up to other people to decide'.

All I know is Lomachenko is number 1 and Crawford is number 2. There’s no way in hell if both guys were the same size Crawford would win. Crawford had trouble with a guy with one leg who has movement difficulties due to the bum leg

Who has Crawford beaten to earn the #1 spot? Smoke and mirrors and media hype.

[grutsch]

No Inoue

[NachoMan]

Joshua ?

Same thoughts. A reasonable list up until that point.

Why are you so insecure about Loma? Did he touch you?

[Uncle Sugar]

Crawford is better than Loma...
Loma people rejected a fight with Crawford...saying it would be like committing suicide...
Even Loma knew he wouldn't beat Crawford....
Crawford is taking Mayweather vacan't spot on the most talented p4p fighter...

Oh ok, I was like this can't be Loma.... Alot of times sh.it gets interpreted differently
