If Kambosos beats Haney then he should be on the list.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Usyk won the Olympic gold medal in 2012, he then won his first world title in his tenth fight, when he fought undefeated 26-0 Krzysztof Glowacki in Poland for his WBO belt.
After defending the WBO title three times, including the then undefeated heavyweight contender Michael Hunter, he won WBC belt against undefeated 23-0 Mairis Briedis in his hometown.
Usyk then wins the undisputed title in Russia, against undefeated 26-0 Murat Gassiev.
After that he beat and thankfully retired the great Tony Bellew who had just beaten David Haye twice.
The second greatest Cruiserweight ever.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
yuriorkis was a smaller guy. i think viktor is a good win. raymundo was always on the fringe. kell was past it. shawn is a good win. i don't think they are better wins than mairis & aj. murat is a better win. terence has some good wins but oleksandr has fought better opponents
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
I think p4p has become a festering cyst for so many fighters and fans. Really feels like it's cheapened and lost a great deal of any substance and big picture thinking. But of course we knew that when the Ring put Broner at #5 . It's always been subjective but within less than a 1 month span it's a literal flavor of the month now. From 4-30 to 5-22 and then immediately see soooo many insisting Bivol, Stevenson and Charlo just waltz right on to it thus 3 other dropped right off.
They're going to need a bigger list.

NAOYA INOUE has moved to the top of Ring Magazine's latest pound-for-pound rankings.
The Japanese knockout specialist took just two rounds to blast out Nonito Donaire in their unification bantamweight rematch this week.
And that has been enough to see 29-year-old take top spot in the latest rankings that were released this week.
Canelo Alvarez had been in top spot for several months, but he has now been bumped off in the Ring Magazine's P4P top ten boxers.
The Mexican ace, 31, was outpointed by Russia's WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol last month.
It was just the second defeat of his 61-fight career, with his previous loss coming at the hands of Floyd Mayweather in 2013.
Prior to Canelo's shock defeat, he was sitting pretty at the top of the Ring's P4P list.
But he has now plummeted down in the rankings, while there is still no room for Tyson Fury after he signed off his career with a brutal knockout victory over Dillian Whyte last month.
The Ring Magazine still counts Fury as their top heavyweight and champion, though they have omitted him from their updated list.
And there is also no room for Anthony Joshua either - although that could all change if he wins his rematch with No.2 Oleksandr Usyk.
The Ukrainian took the heavyweight titles from AJ last September, and that also took him top of the P4P list.
But now Inoue’s latest victory, which unified the bantamweight division, propelled him above Usyk into pole position.
And, with Fury and Joshua’s omission, that means there is now only one British boxer left in the top ten.
Unbeaten star Josh Taylor retains his place, although he has dropped from sixth to ninth.
The 19-0 Scot is not to blame for the terrible scorecards that gifted him an undeserved win over Jack Catterall back in February but his air of invincibility has definitely suffered a dent.
Prior to that bout Taylor was one of British boxing’s biggest success stories, racing to undisputed 10st glory by taking on all of the best in his way and beating them convincingly.
He is definitely not the first big star to dodge a costly bullet thanks to some skew-whiff scoring, and his reputation has taken a big hit.

Has "The Ring" catapulted Ginger into "one-name-celebrity" status now?
A la Tiger... Madonna... Oprah?
Give me a fukking break....
I think his point is that the sun made up that image for their newspaper, and the ring seem to list him as canelo Alvarez on their list...not that it matters much.
