    Right now, Naoya Inoue.

    But Usyk if he beats the much bigger Fury.

    Crawford is up there, but Spence hasn't been a top boxer since his accident. And Crawford needs to be a bit more active, he still has nothing scheduled. He should fight Tszyu, that would be a great win for him since Tszyu is in his prime and a very good fighter.

    The winner of Bivol-Beterbiev also has a good case for P4P #1.

    Crazy that there are 4 legit fighters who can make claim for #1 but thats real.

    Crawford had an ATG performance against a Top 5 PFP guy.

    Inoue is a stud and won undisputed titles in 2 weight classes in under 1 year or barely 1 year...impressive.

    Usyk working on his 2nd undisputed at HW and he's impressively undersized.

    Beterbiev especially has a case if he beats Bivol considering his advanced age. Bivol could too but Beterbiev has a better resume and has looked better all around.

    Crawford. He is cursed to be stuck in the generation he's in. No style is style. He is a genius.

    There's a good argument for both to be made. I have Crawford as 1A and Inoue as 1B and wouldn't argue either way.

    Usyk.... The dude gave away 20+ lbs to Joshua and beat him in his own back yard, and on the 18th of this month he will likely be giving away 40-50lbs against Fury. Inoue and Crawford generally rehydrate allot and even though they move up in weight they arnt fighting legit guys who tower over them and weigh 20+ lbs more. Thats how I judge p4p.

    In the next few weeks allot more people will be saying Usyk too

    Inoue for me but Crawford is acceptable too..if Usyk beats Fury you have to give him the number one spot though.

    Naoya Inoue.

    There are only Americans who absolutely want to put Crawford number 1. Crawford's best victories are against boxers who are almost retired or even in decline (Spence after his car accident). Naoya Inoue boxes twice a year and against guys who are in the top 8 or even 5 in his weight division. Is there still a debate?
