Kellerman’s controversial P4P: Crawford on Usyk and Inoue

Struggle analyst Max Kellerman says he has Terence Crawford as his number 1 of Pound for Sport above Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue, who entered the surface of Crawford against Super indisputable champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13, 2025.

Kellerman says he has Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) above the indisputable heavy weight champion Usyk and the Super Bantamweight champion indisputable inoue because he thinks he is “better” than them. It was impressed by Crawford’s close victory over Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024, and overlooked the many fans who considered the judges to give Terence a gift decision.

The last six usyk wins

• Daniel Dubois
• Tyson Fury X 2
• Daniel Dubois
• Anthony Joshua X 2

Kellerman notes that Crawford “annihilated” Errol Spence Jr. Before that, he was removed in the ninth round of July 29, 2023. He does not mention that Spence had not been well since his terrible high -speed vehicle accident on October 10, 2019, who had left him struggling to overcome his two opponents, Yordenis USA and Danny Garcia, after the fall.

On the other hand, Ennis had been out of the ring for 14 months entering his game against Crawford and had a lot of weight that he had to cut during the training field. Social media fans believe that it was not the main version of Ennis that Crawford passed.

“There is a reason why I think Crawford is the best free free fighter. Canelo was once,” said commentator Max Kellerman to Ring MagazineChoosing Terence Crawford as a number 1 fighter Pound for pounds in the sport.

Crawford’s last six wins:

• Israil Madrimov
• Errol Spence
• David Avanayan
• Shawn Porter
• I need Brook
• Egidijus kavaliauskas

Fans do not see these fighters as PPV #1 Digne for Crawford. They do not apply with the recent usyk wins to heavy weight.

“I know people think that (Naoya) Inoue and (Oleksandr) Usyk are ahead of Crawford. The ring has them ahead of Crawford. I do not do it because, for me, the pound per pound is not a problem of equity. It’s a problem who you think is better,” said Kellerman.

Two boxing experts who disagree with Crawford’s Kellerman’s vision as a #1 pound per pound:

“Crawford’s technical brilliance is unmatched, but Usyk is doing heavyweight things we have not seen from Ali. I tilted Usyk because of the difficulty of the division,” said former Teddy Atlas coach on his YouTube channel, “The Fight.”

“Crawford’s victory over Madrimov was impressive, but Usyk’s victories on Fury and Dubois in the heavyweight division, where bets are higher,” said writer Mike Coppinger while still with ESPN.

After seeing Crawford fought against Madrimov, going out, my personal choice for 1 pound per pound is Usyk. The way Daniel Dubois, Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua, twice in the last two years, has defeated him ahead of Terence.

“ And the last time I saw Crawford, he advanced another division, defeated the boy at that moment (WBA Junior Champion Israil Madrimov). I thought he was the best fighter in the division at that time. And before that, he only had Erhilat Errol Spence. So, if you look at all the boxes, I will check Crawford for most of them, if not all of them, ”

Crawford defeated Madrimov for scores 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113. Vergil Ortiz Jr. He defeated Madrimov what many boxing fans felt was a more impressive fashion than Crawford in his victory on February 22, 2025.
