Everybody become a bum AFTER Crawford already destroyed them.
Crawford is one of ONLY TWO undisputed champions in the last decade.
Only TWO. No else did it in the last decade.
Only he and Usyk.
He is also a three weight class undisputed champion and is undefeated.
He is definitely above Loma.
Ps. Who are these so called elite figghters that Loma beat? Rigo? If you count Rigo as a great win for Loma, then you gotta count Mikey Garcia as a great win for Spence too.Comment

Floyd is an idiot. Good old reverse racism at its best.
1. Canelo seriously has the best resume.
2. Loma beaten alot of good guys. made really good fighters quit.
3. Spence. Beaten some good guys.
4. Inoye: bad dude
5. Usyk
6. Crawford : Crawford could be 1 but his resume is held back by promotion.
7. Estrada
8. Fury
9. Pacquiao: yes hes old but he has beaten so many guys plus he would be no walk in the park for either spence or Crawford. I think he could possibly beat spence.
10. Charlo(jermell): Competition is not super but he is beating everyone in front of him. He got robbed in first harrison fight.Comment

God damn, p4p lists are hard to produce actually. I really don't feel like most people have earned being listed. After Loma I'm having a hard time figuring out who should go next.
I'd say my top five are interchangeable. If you think Canelo should be higher, cool dude, I do too I just don't think Pac should be lower.
After them it's a **** show. Santa is good, multi weight, cool, Spence is good, Monster is good, but, the top five make the bottom five look like they're just tuning up. Ain't ready to fill no Pac shoes for damn sure.
I don't include HWs because it is ****** to. No one included HWs until Ring told them to. It's historically wrong. The lists themselves are wrong too but **** it. p4p should be a title like lineal. It is the smaller weight's answer to lineal HW champion. There was no such thing as a lineal MW champion in the 1890s. There was p4p. You had the best of the no cap division and the best of the capped divisions. Not a ****ing list, not a ****load of informal champions, just two.
How the **** did Tommy Ryan get Bob Fitzsimmon's MW title? Bob didn't lose it, Bob did not retire, Bob did not relinquish it. In fact at the time of Bob's MW run he, Tommy, Norman, and Frank all claimed MW. Who's the lineal?
CBZ will tell you Bob vacated in 95. Check with Bob in 1895 and you will see Bob very much claims MW champion. As HW champion Bob claims MW champion. In 99 after Bob has lost his HW crown, having lost to no MWs, Bob claims MW champion.
Have to impose present rules to make lineal a thing under HW. Bob never vacated in 95, but, since that is when Bob started taking on HWs and Tommy fought NP, the guy Bob beat for MW title, and beat him, then historians say Tommy is lineal.
It's not clean, it's a dirty lie firstly, and secondly you have to force modern ideals onto the past to make it work. Relinquished? Trusted historians huh?
Lineal is a HW thing. That's the only division people really stuck to their guns about who was and was not champion. You don't have to pretend like Mitchell was champion because Sully fought BK. In the smaller weights you will pretend X was champion because Y was doing more than just being a less than HW champion.
P4p gets shafted so divisions of pretend lineal champions can be established. Lineal gets shafted so that HWs can play on p4p lists.
There are no such thing as rankings or official champions before the bodies. Lineal is the guy who took on anyone. P4p is the guy who could whoop anyone but those vying for lineal. Ain't no ****ing lists, ain't no sub-HW lineals, ain't no HW p4ps.
I do think it is interesting Wilder out ranks Joshua on every p4p list but almost no one ranks Wilder above Joshua here or in HW rankings.
****ing joke of a metric for damn sure. Y'all ruined that **** and that's why no one can make any god damn sense and the best you can do is just list ten of the best performers in boxing. ****ing meaningless. This **** went from most important **** in boxing to absolutely useless.
If you are a casual who doesn't know the names of the best guys in boxing p4p might be useful to you. Us, all we do is use it to argue about something utterly pointless.
Lineal = Fury , alone. There is no lineal under Fury or outside of Fury, all roads lead to Fury if boxing works like it did before bodies
P4p = Pac, greatest man who is not a HW.
Everything else to propagandists leading the ignorant so that their mag or site now gets more bumpsComment

Crawford has to step it up and beat a couple of top 147. if he squeaks by on of them is not enough. Horn and Brook don't count either.Comment

I dont think so because P4P for me depends on what you've done recently and not just what you've done in the past.
Ask me if Crawford was higher than Loma before he moved to 147 and I would have said yes. But since then? Crawfords done nothing at 147 fighting no top guys.
Lomachenko on the other hand is still rolling through top guys and the best available guys.
Imagine if Loma was fighting a whole bunch of guys on the level of Anthony Crolla. Not bad, but definitely not great enough to warrant be called "the best".Comment

I think you can plausibly argue that Crawford, Loma, Canelo or Inoue is the top p4p boxer in the world right now.
IMO Usyk should also be considered for the top spot but I know many disagree with that.Comment

I have no problem at all making Loma number 1 pfp best and having Crawford not even in the top 5.Pound for pound is much different than resume. It is how good you think a boxer is for his pounds right NOW no what he did years ago. I had Crawford high years ago when he unified 140. But he has not done much or looked all that good since moving to 147. Beating guys like Brook and Khan who are washed up and no good anymore does not do anything for Crawford being pfp one of the best. Loma is fighting top opponents time after time and beating them by a mile. He is the best pfp to me right now. If he loses or even wins but struggles with Lopez I may drop him lower but right now he is number 1 to me. I am always watching the top guys and rearranging my top 10 pfp best when it is called for. Crawford has done nothing special in years to show he is still that good. If someone has him number 1 it must be based on what he did years ago and not on anything he has done at 147. Look at who Loma fights compared to who Crawford fights. Loma's next fight is with the 2nd best lightweight in the world. Crawford's next fight is with lousy Brook and Crawford is a 10 to 1 betting favorite. It is yet another Crawford cherry pick. Mayweather's opinion means nothing to me.He favors the black American over the white boxer as he always does.Comment
