Well-known trainer and analyst Teddy Atlas answered the question of who he considers the best boxer on the planet, regardless of weight category. The specialist could not name one fighter, putting Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue on top.

"Crawford and Inoue. One of them can be the first number. The second is No. 1 A. They can be interchanged. But I can't put anyone higher than Crawford! At the same time, I can put Inoue in the same position, next to him. Inoue has all the traits that Crawford has: skill, intelligence, calmness," Atlas said.

Recall that on Sunday, Crawford became the undisputed world welterweight champion, finishing in the ninth round of Errol Spence.
