Caneloโs had more fights, but Iโd say Usyk. I think what heโs done there, heโs beaten an in-form champion, a good champion, at heavyweight. Everyone knows how difficult the heavyweight division is as well.

London 2012 medallist
Iโm a massive Usyk fan and predicted the outcome last week so Iโm going to have him high up. Iโm finding it hard to split him and Canelo, so Iโm on the fence for one or two pound for pound.

His record is second to none. The argument would be between him or Canelo, Canleoโs done multi weights but never completed the lot like Usyk has done. For me, Usyk is the absolute pound for pound number one at the moment.
Darren Barker
Former IBF middleweight belt-holder
Being undisputed cruiserweight champion and now a unified heavyweight champion, yes I would put him number one. Itโs remarkable. Canelo is incredible and has beaten some amazing fighters but Usyk is unbeaten.
