a few folks was saying that Porter had previously "priced himself out" of a fight with Crawford :mjpls:

It's easy for some people to think that when Arum is like two black fighters against one another and you're putting it on PPV? Whose paying for this? :hhh:

Same dude that was underpaying Mayweather and said he wasn't a star and prioritizes Lomachenko over Crawford :francis::mjpls:

1. Canelo Alvarez
56-1-2, 37 KOsUnified super middleweight champion--
Alvarez looked unbeatable in making the proper adjustments to brutalize Billy Joe Saunders in their super middleweight title unification in May. Up next, Alvarez has targeted unbeaten IBF titleholder Caleb Plant for a fall showdown that could produce Mexico's first undisputed champion of the four-belt era.
2. Naoya Inoue
19-0, 17 KOs
Unified bantamweight champion
--
The Japanese "Monster" didn't disappoint in his Oct. 31 closeup in Las Vegas as he now operates under the Top Rank and ESPN banners. A brilliant knockout of Jason Moloney showcased Inoue's complete game as he went on to call out the other two belt-holders at 118 pounds. He returns on June 19 against Michael Dasmarinas.
3. Errol Spence Jr. 27-0, 21 KOs
Unified welterweight champion--
Spence returned from a 14-month layoff and answered plenty of questions about his future following a scary car crash by decisively outpointing Danny Garcia in December. Up next is a superfight against 42-year-old legend Manny Pacquiao in August.
4. Terence Crawford36-0, 26 KOs
Welterweight champion--
After talks to fight Manny Pacquiao fell apart disastrously, Crawford remains in a precarious spot with just months left on his Top Rank deal. Promoter Bob Arum would like to match him with undisputed 140-pound champion Josh Taylor but it remains to be seen.
5. Vasiliy Lomachenko 14-2, 10 KOs
Lightweight
--
The former P4P king made a surprising number of excuses for his competitive loss to Teofimo Lopez Jr. last year after unsuccessfully rallying in the final rounds. Lomachenko has chosen to stay at lightweight and will face Masayoshi Nakatani on June 26.
6. Tyson Fury
30-0-1, 21 KOs
Heavyweight champion
"The Gypsy King" rebounded quickly from the swerve of seeing his undisputed championship bout against unified titleholder Anthony Joshua fall apart due to a court ruling. In order to get there, Fury must now face former champ Deontay Wilder in their July 24 trilogy fight.
7. Teofimo Lopez Jr. 15-0, 12 KOs
Unified lightweight champion
At 23, Lopez appears poised for stardom following an upset win over Lomachenko in 2020. A rare purse bid for his mandatory return against George Kambosos Jr. saw upstart Triller offer an inflated amount for Lopez's services. The fight will take place June 19 in Miami.
8. Josh Taylor
18-0, 13 KOsUndisputed junior welterweight champion
"The Tartan Tornado" made a resounding statement by dropping Jose Ramirez twice en route to a unanimous decision in their four-belt unification at 140 pounds. Although a mandatory is due against Jack Catterall, Taylor could move up to face Terence Crawford at welterweight.
9. Oleksandr Usyk
18-0, 13 KOs
Heavyweight--
The former undisputed cruiserweight champion proved his worth in his new weight class by outpointing a rugged Dereck Chisora. With the Fury-Joshua fight recently falling apart, Usyk could be in line for a mandatory challenge against Joshua in August.
10. Juan Francisco Estrada
42-3, 28 KOs
Unified super flyweight champion
--
Although the rogue scorecard turned in that helped lift Estrada past former P4P king Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez in their March rematch remains rightfully under question, Estrada fought well enough to have a claim at having won. Up next is a trilogy bout against mandatory opponent Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
