The legendary Teddy Atlas disagreed with Usyk’s place in The Ring ranking

A well-known trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas called his updated P4P rating and stated that Terrence Crawford is not the best boxer in the world. In his opinion, there is only one fighter ahead of the American – Oleksandr Usyk.

Atlas released the top 10 on social media, ranking Usyk first, Crawford second and Naoya Inoue third. The Ukrainian recently became the absolute heavyweight champion for the second time, defeating Daniel Dubois.

Crawford shocked boxing in 2025 by defeating Canelo Alvarez and winning the third absolute boxing crown.

The Atlas ranking also included Bivol, Beterbiev, Benavides, Stevenson and Haney, who recently became a champion in three categories.
