is Manny Pacquiao the new undisputed P4P protected fighter in the game or is Khan still has the title? or is your opinion is it someone else.
* Floyd is inactive and this thread is for current active boxers just for you people who like to bring him up in every thread
LOL@ "Please dont mention Floyd, hes allowed to be protected because hes inactive"
thread title asked for the most protected fighter in the game right now inactive by definition means he is not in the game right now :dunce:
make your own thread asking for the all time most protected fighter.
Chavez Jr is the poplar choice I see. surprised lots of people not bringing up Bute being ranked that high in the division while not fighting anyone
Why is Khan fighting MCKLOSKEY OR WHO EVER. HE SHOULD BE FIGHTING A TRUE TOP TEN JWW. MC ISNT A THREAT. LETS COMPARE WHOM HE FAUGHT TO WHOM BRADLEY FOUGHT.
ALEXANDER- MAIDINA
PETERSON- MALINAGGI
CAMPBELL- SALITA
HOLT- KOLTELNIK
WITTER-BARRERA
CHERRY-FAGAN
KHAN IS SUCH A JOKE.
yes because Alexander, Peterson, Campbell, Holt, Witter and Cherry are all world beaters right? :rofl::rofl:
I would go as far as saying if you think Khan is the most protected boxer you know little to nothing about the sport. There are a number of fighters out there that are older than Khan and still haven't made any real steps up in quality of opposition like Bute, Berto and there are fighters with way more fights who still haven't made the step up like JCC etc.
I was being a bit flip with the Jack Calzaghe remark. The reason I love Calzaghe and Lennox is because they have phenomenal records and they did it all on their lonesome. They didnt need the help of a 6'8 brother to avenge their losses/close decisions. One man vs the world.
Wlad is the MOST protected because he is the only guy with a functional bodyguard within the division. This bodyguard protects him from both unfavorable matchups and criticism. Wlad can sign bogus fights and not get criticized as long as Vitali is there to pick up the slack.
If anyone is protected out of the 2 its Vitali, you rank Joe Calzaghe number 7 on your all-time list :lol1:
Like I said, this thread asked about the MOST protective fighter. If Wlad is protected, he sure isn't the most protected. Despite his brother being the Divisions Gate keeper, he still is fighting mandatories and Top 10 guys.
And why would Joe need a Jack Calzaghe to protect him of Robing Reid? Are your standards for him that low.

just trying to keep a guy who doesn't have any more fights scheduled out of the convo because its a knee jerk reaction for some pacstans to bring him up.
Chavez Jr is not really good so its understandable to keep him away from good opponents. and Kahn been stepping up his game lately but its obvious he was being handled with care specially with Maidana asking for a purse bid before that fight getting done
And didnt HBO keep saying during the fght "this is the fight kahn wanted" even tho maidana had to ask for the bid
i jsut thought about it. thats why the wbc is trying so hard to get chavez jr the middleweight title so manny can fight him for his 9th belt. it be big because 1 its manny 2 its for his 9th title 3 son of chavez big worldwide. omg i see their plan
Ya thats probley true or cotto beats him and wee get pac vs cotto 2 @ 156lbs
IMO Berto is the worst right now
for as popular as they are i would say (in no particular order)
Berto
Chavez Jr.
any of the current interim belt holders who have yet to fight a top contender or title fight.
Inactive my ass, Floyd is ranked number 2 p4p so you can't "protect" him from this thread.
Anyway, Mayweather Jr. is the most protected. He has the Federal Government protecting him from fighting Pac. :D:D:D
How can you not say kentucky floyd mayflower, he cherrypicked a lightweight in marquez and fought an old mosley. He's hiding in his vacation to duck Pac an Sergio.
Floyd fought 9 months ago, Is the current lineal WW champion, is rank by #2 at WW by the ring, most P4P list has him on it.
So how is he inactive?
Anyways...Sturm, Narvaez, Zaveck, Braehmer, and JCC JR are the top 5 most protective fighter.
Honorable mention-WV2 and senchenko
Haye, Bute, and Pac are climbing up the list but not quite there yet.
But, seriously why are you considering Floyd inactive?

Yeah that or fight Cotto at 160 if the Pac fight cant be made. Chavez Jr. has been moved along perfectly by Top Rank because they know his name and an undefeated record would eventually lead to a big fight and in the meantime he can make money fighting bums. They obviously know he is very limited and treat him that way.
You dont get it? The kid isnt that talented and Top Rank can continue to make money with him fighting bums. When they do cash out on Chavez jr you can bet it will be against someone who they can get a huge payday from like Pac,Cotto or Canelo not Cintron.

cintron would be a good test. angulo workrate and power would crush chavez. i think cintron could stop him too. but why havent these fights happen? i dont get it lmao he is the msot protected fighter ever

chavez jr been in 4 different weight classes has 50 fights and his best win is john duddy. no titles except the wbc silver middleweight title whatever the **** that is. hes the worst ever
Agreed. With the amount of professional bouts he has one would think it's time to step up to the plate....but instead he's calling out retired fighters. Toss him in there with cintron or angulo. That would be a damn good test.
