“Mairis – about the rating of the best boxers in the world”, — write: sport.ua
Former world champion Mairis Briedis criticized the rating of the best boxers in the world regardless of weight categories (P4P), in which Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk took only second place.
According to the Latvian boxer, Usyk should be in the first position, because in terms of his achievements and level, he surpasses all rivals.
“I don’t understand why Usyk is not the first in the P4P rating and why he is not recognized as the best. Even hypothetically putting him against Terrence Crawford, Usyk would smear him. He is more powerful physically, has no less experience and would simply destroy him in the ring. How can you rank 60-kilogram fighters higher when a 100-kilogram athlete with much more history and titles is lower?” Briedis said.
