Is the winner of the Cruiserweight WBSS entering P4P top 5

[Stuarty]

Depends on who wins it and what kind of fashion they win it in! Usyk could crash the P4P rankings with an impressive win. I think he'll make easy work of Breidis in the semi.

I think if Usyk wins the tournament, he will definitely crack it.

When did we last have a cruiserweight in the top 10 P4P list.

[Tanzio]

Yes.

[dagilechia]

if Usyk wins his resume would be Glowacki (then undefeated), Mchunu, Hunter (then undefeated), Huck, Briedis (then undefeated), Gassiev/Dorticos (then undefeated)
for me it's a top 3 resume

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Based on how I rank p4p, I'm guessing if the winner is Usyk he'd slot into the #4-7 range performances pending. Ahead of Spence, Inoue, Rungvisai/Estrada, Lomachenko/Rigondeaux loser and maybe GGG/Canelo loser.

Anyone else would probably be there or thereabouts for #9-10.

Bar Mchunu and Hunter. The rest were/are ranked top 10 by The Ring and TBRB

So yeh, I would say he should shoot to top 3, no worse than top 5.

[Heretic]

The winner will be at least top5. Maybe even higher if the wins are flashy enough

[ElJefe]

For arguments sake lets say Usyk wins, I think he'd have a very good case for being top 10.

Didn't want to create a separate thread for that, but Loma has a very high standard for himself becoming p4p #1. He wants to fight that following guys in the next 18 months (he named them in this order):
- Mikey
- Linares
- Berchelt

I mean, it's ambitious but if Loma was to get those fights and win his resume for the last 2 and half years would read Walters, Sosa, Marriaga, Rigondeaux, Garcia, Linares and Berchelt. That's insane.

[jamamb]

beating garcia aint gonna happen. linares and berchelt are far more winnable. both could beat him too.just please not back to a marriaga type if he beats rigo.

[TheGingerBomber]

I think It would be sad if the winner isn't at least top 10. I know to be up there you have to beat other p4p fighters but there can't be many that's done that. The winner of this tournament will have a better resume than Crawford in my opinion, and I have Crawford pretty high in the p4p rankings. Usyk would probably's have to go up and win a title at heavyweight to be considered no.1.

[Heretic]

There is pretty big leap in weights around Cruiser. Makes the division bit isolated.

Also for some weird reason nobody seems to be interested in cruiser. Big guys with skills and not the freak show that is going on with the heavy. Sumo wrestlers and shambling giants everywhere

[Dwayne Rudenkoslav]

Definitely. I have Usyk 8th already.
