4. Naoya Inoye

Usyk didn't look himself against Huck for a big, and it was a hell of a close fight against Breidis, but that doesn't mean he isn't top 3. Styles make fights.
Briedis was the same guy who stopped a decent heavyweight, after all. Pretty impressive giving up 25+ lbs of weight for a temporary heavyweight fight.
But I would have to put Naoya around #8-10. #4 for me is probably either Mikey Garcia or Rungvisai.

For me Usyk is ahead of Lomachenko, behind Crawford I find acceptable. GGG and Clenelo I would not list in the top five.

They make up my top 3.
I also think these three are some of the best boxers I've ever seen at their weights. That's just my opinion.

I can’t see how it’s contestable that Crawford, Usyk and Loma make up the top three. They’re absolutely nailed on I’d personally have them in that order, but then I can see a debate for Loma being number one after all p4p is about the here and now and Crawford’s last win was against a dude roundly accepted as having lost to Manny Pedman and some of Bud’s other victories we’re going back close to 3 and a half to 4 years now they don’t mean anything in the pound for pound stakes, Loma and Usyk look absolutely phenomenal right now.
For me he showed Briedis too much respect and Gassiev none, the Briedis fight was a learning curve just as his others were try not to forget how many fights Usyk has only had.
His conditioning is surreal also the guy is like a jet engine.

I suppose if GGG had gotten the decision most felt he deserved v Canelo, he would have a case for #1 because it'd have been a defining win. In that sense, i have no problem with people considering him too but officially it says draw.
I think #1 is still up for grabs, not that it really means anything, it's a mythical thing but for me, Ward is the last fighter to really cement his position until he retired.

First and foremost, whose Usyk? Second, anyone who really knows boxing knows the smaller fighters have way more talent cause they don’t have the weight to hurt/KO so easily. Look at heavyweights. The biggest “no talent required” division.
