So far, I also going to put Crawford at the top and next is Inoue as he again unifies all the belts from his current division.
If Inoue goes up in weight and will become an undisputed champion again, then we can expect that he'll replace Crawford in the ranking. Inoue probably has more achievements as a champion but maybe Crawford is more deserving since he has fought more dangerous fighter than Inoue.
That can be done by Inoue since he is very dominant. I don't even get why he still chooses to stay at super bantamweight despite getting all the belts already. Maybe he isn't ready yet? If the answer is yes, then we can't compare him to Pacman, or would replace Crawford in the list if he'll stay at his comfort zone.
By the way, what happen to a possible Crawford vs Canelo fight? I think that one died down already.
it's hard to make a debate on who is the number 1 or not because as a fan we are too bias, so let's just based the ranking on the publishers report and we can all agree with it. After this fight with Nery which I'm sure Inoue will be victorious, maybe moving up should be next, forget about other challengers lining up, Inoue has to chase making a history again.
They have basis on their ranking and most of us aren't aware of that basis, so let's respect their own ranking. If we argue and we have our own, there's no problem with that, but how reputable we are so people would believe on us?
