Who is the P4P best in the world?

After a week of incredible boxing which had promised the two best fights in the sport which were both meant to be 50/50 affairs instead turned into one sided beat downs I want to discuss who is now the P4P best in the world.

We have two very clear options in my opinion. The two decisive victors of this week’s fights. Inoue started the week off strong when he completely outboxed one of the best pure boxers in the sport and eventually broke him down and stopped him in 8. This was a very impressive performance from him and one which proved to even American fans that he is one of the best in the world. Crawford ended the week with a fantastic showing against one of the sports best champions in a brutal 9th round affair in which he dominated and dropped Spence multiple times to achieve the undisputed status in his second weight class.

So both have incredibly strong last wins and in my opinion both are among the best in the sport today. However I would have to say Crawford’s performance and win came against a better fighter than Inoue’s even though it was close. The resume argument is a tough one to talk about as Crawford wasn’t able to fight many of the big names in his weight class due to being on the wrong side of the street. Inoue definitely gets the resume department but Crawford has more achievements in the sport.

It is very hard to pick apart these two men’s skill set and resume as well as their achievements to determine who is better and ultimately I can’t do it. These are the two best fighters in the world and in my opinion are the joint best pound for pound fighters.
