I'll go with this one. No contest.
In my opinion, the distance between Inoue and Usyk is very close. @Fenster did you reveal your list?
I'd go with Loma. Why? When judging P4P I value talent/skill above names on the record. His style is unique, impossible to replicate, and he's beaten the strongest opposition in the least amount of fights.
Inoue has been my "favourite" for years, however, I don't believe his opposition is as strong. I think I can make a case for several guys... depending on the criteria.
And the top 3 opponents? Number of fights can be dependant on many situations and opportunities, my opinion is tough challengers are better to measure

My p4p #1 would be either Crawford or Inoue. But if you put AJ’s best 3 wins (Wlad, Povetkin and Parker Whyte.) then If you judged it with this formula, that would stack up pretty well against Crawford.
But
would you put AJ above Crawford? Like I said, it’s interesting.
Can I ask you who to list as your Crawford's best 3 wins?
Certainly. The 3 that I would put are :
Burns - just because it was his breakthrough fight at elite level. People can think you’re gonna be great and have an outstanding career, but you’ve still got to go out and do it. And in the champion’s Back yard.
Beltran - more impressive than the Burns fight because Beltran had convincingly “beaten” Burns and got robbed on the cards.
Postol - fresh off winning the title off Matthysse and with 28-0 record, Postol wasn’t an easy fight whilst Crawford was moving up in weight as well.
Arigatōgozaimashita, deciding a top 3 can be difficult. My opinion would be Gambao, Postol, Indongo
Loma's top three? In no order... Rigo, Linares and Walters (I think the Walters win is very underrated - not only were there "experts" picking him, he was unbeaten, KO'd Donaire and Darchinyan, beat Unbeaten Marriaga and subsequent title holder Sosa). And Loma forced these no. 1 ranked "champions," in their respective divisions, to
quit.
I was going to put Walters because of those very same reasons you mentioned and I had been very impressed by him. However the man has essentially retired from the game and never fought since that loss. At least Russell Jr has done well and remained undefeated.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
