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.
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.
If Naoya Inoue is finished with most boxers in the Super Bantamweight for sure he will move up to the Featherweight Division in 126 lbs, maybe after his title defense on 1 of his belts the WBC against Luis Nery then after that he needs to tune up his body before going up the division maybe a fight on 1 of the fighters in the Featherweight, of course, Terence Crawford is more dangerous that Naoya Inoue and because he is in a much heavier division that is the Welterweight right now and Terence Crawford is doing fine right now getting WBC and WBO belt he might have a unification match against Eimantas Stannionis, then getting the IBF belt on Jaron Ennis, if he can get all of that then he is a Unified champion for the Welterweight while Naoya Inoue still has a long way to go,
We are now having a crazy Misfits boxing today, and as we all know most fighters are Content creators who become boxers, but this is just an Exhibition matches and right now they have Logan Paul look-alike the one who got involved in the altercation with Nate Diaz,
