I think that Pac, MAB, Morales, Marquez, and Johnson are all to high. Im sick of seeing the same guys high on these list no matter how many times they lose while guys like Wright and Spinks are so low. I think that Chico should be higher and Raphel Marquez should be higher

This all depends if it is what you did in the last few months or what you have done in your entire career.

Johnson was a journey man for much of his career, and just made a great improvement during the last year.

Where as DLH was a superstar for much of his career and since he fought Yori Boy a couple years ago, has done pretty bad.

So if you are saying who had the better p4p career, I would chose DLH, but as of right now, Johnson is the hotter fighter and should be ranked higher p4p.

The other thing to note is that you should have to fight often to maintain your ranking. Floyd has fought 3 times in the last 4 years, against marginal opposition and he is usually ranked #1 or #2. A win over brussels this weekend does not mean anything, and people will still rank him higher than Pacioau.

I like Pac but he didnt beat Marquez and I was disappointed in both of there performances. I think Wright and Spinks should be ranked higher and maybe even Chico

Floyd has had more then 3 fights in 4 years. What are you saying, that he fights less then once a year? He also has one of the best resumes out there and has been a champ for 7 years and he's undefeated and in his 4th weight class. Pac has been beaten and KO and he didnt even win his last fight

Floyd and Kostya need to be flipped, other than that it is pretty good. P4P Floyd is more skilled, but since they are now fighting at the same weight he needs to beat the undisputed champ to move over him. I also think if he was to beat Tszyu, he would take the number 1 spot from Hopkins.

Thats why it's a P4P list and not a divisional ranking list. Why does he have to beat Zoo to be ranked higher when Zoo has been there his whole career and Floyd is in his 4th division and is much younger then Zoo

Because he has had 1 fight in 3 years and that was against Mayorga who was exposed against Spinks

So this "rule" applies to Tito but not to Tszyu?

Tito only lost to the guy that is #1 on this list...but he doesn't deserves to be on it?

I thought I had explained that, but since you're slow I'll do it again. I have no problems with Floyd having a higher ranking if they weren't campaigning at the same weight. But since they are how can you say Floyd is the best period, when he may not even be the best in his division? Until they fight or one of them loses I will give the champion the benefit of the doubt.

Tszyu has only been off a year and the only reason it was a year is because of injury. Tszyu also came back against the guy who was thought to be his biggest threat.

Your the slow one clown. My point is idiot that has nothing to do with a p4p list and everyone else knows it except for you.

Ok then, so if he beats Winky, he would be on the P4P list?Where?

Sorry dude, I like Tito but he doesnt deserve to be on the list. Zoo maybe a little too high but Tito doesnt deserve it yet

I though Tszyu was inactive for 23 months?

Your right.

But that wasn't his fault. He didn't choose to rip his shoulder and knee up.

nana I know, he could be number one had he continue. But it looked like the layoff did him good.
