First of all, so long as there are names like ortiz, wilder, parker, ruiz, sanchez, whyte and possibly fury out there, it is HIGHLY questionable that usyk is the best at hw. I mean, AJ seems like a nice guy and i rooted for him, but he was and is a very flawed fighter. not only was he destroyed by a 5-11 fat dude, but he struggled with the likes of takam. AJ was very unimpressive against parker in a real stinker of a performance. In fact, I thought parker could have taken AJ if he had come with a little more fire. I even low-key picked ruiz to beat AJ, especially based on how ordinary AJ looked against parker. Usyk's win over AJ is overblown. As ruiz proved, on any given night, a top hw could take AJ out. AJ is just lucky he didn't run into wilder a couple of years back, because he would probably STILL be knocked out.
So, you saying the cw division has been weak for pretty much it's entire existence, but somehow became strong ONLY when usyk was campaigning in that division????? Things that make you go BULLSHIT!!
that you think barrios was the weakest champ in the division is purely opinion and speculation and not backed up by any factual basis. if you give usyk credit for moving up in weight and outpointing AJ who had already been recently beat up and ktfo, you can't then say "tank don't deserve credit for moving up TWO weight classes and knocking out the undefeated champ." wth kind of reasoning is that? if you're not even gonna TRY to be consistent in your arguments just admit your bias right now and i'll stop responding to you.
Most of the boxing world has crawford and spence sharing #1. So, your opinion is just what it is.
Loma was considered the pfp #1 for a long time. DID YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT???? Loma then lost to teo. so, teo took loma's place at the top of the pfp rankings. Devin DOMINATES kambosos who beat teo, but devin DOES NOT belong at the top of the pfp rankings???? is that what i hear you saying??? wtf kind of reasoning is that? if you not gonna be consistent in your reasoning just admit your bias and I'll stop responding to you and we can end this discussion!
shakur is a unified champ in his weight class... this is on his resume. That PLUS the eye test is why he's on the PFP list.
I have never ranked canelo high. I thought the ducked the charlo bros and a lara rematch at 154. i thought he also ducked charlo and andrade at 160. i thought he ducked benavidez at 168. But i have never said canelo was not a very good fighter. the fact bivol dominated such a very good fighter is why bivol is on the list.
As long as names like Joseph Parker are around it's highly questionable that Usyk is the best??? Are you fucking serious? Parker is absolute garbage. Now i know you don't watch much boxing.
I never once said the CW division was weak before Usyk got there, reading comprehension is hard right?
Barrios was the weakest champion, it's not my opinion, it's a stone cold fact. All 4 of the guys i listed were more credible opponents for Tank and that's why he didn't fight them. Taylor, Prograis, Zepeda and Ramirez were the best 4 in the division at that time, don't believe me? Ask anyone here, look on any ranking site prior to Barrios moving up to 147 and getting beatdown there too.

Tell me how "most have Crawford and Spence at #1 together? Go on, try dig yourself out of this hole.
Loma losing to Teo doesn't make Teo P4P king, wtf is that logic? Let's say you have Crawford at #1 and let's say Porter had beaten him, would that have made Porter #1 P4P? No it fucking wouldn't. Can't believe you don't understand how rankings work.
Shakur has only beaten Oscar Valdez... that's it, the eye test doesn't mean shit.
Your Canelo hatred is showing again so i don't even need to comment on that. Didn't you get banned last time for going off the rails when Canelo beat BJS? Yeah, you thought it was a fix didn't you hahaha.
Clown shoe.
