I never been a vivid fan of P4P-rankings. How fair can they be?
Let’s say there is a welter champ who is more than willing to take on all challengers – it’s just that his division happens to be a bit weak at the time.
Or the light heavy champ, who fights a few and rejects others, in a division which at the time contains more depth than the welter division.
How do you compare their efforts, and willingness, to be a true champ against each other?
Not long ago, P4P-rankings were not heard of. Today, it seems they create more interest than the divisional rankings themselves.
