1 name...in 3-5 years who will be #1 p4p..if its still Mayweather or Pacman again that's cool. Who do you think will be the next guy?
I'm going to get flamed for this but I'm going to say Rigo will be number one despite his age and Gary Russell #2 ( I had to add 2 :)
I got Broner. Mainly because of the weight class he campaigns at. Ward is good now, but there's really no one for him to fight that will give him the boost he needs to be P4P #1. In 3-5 years the Super Six will be old news. If Broner is still undefeated and has went through names like Peterson, Matthysse, Khan etc. He'll probably be #1. If not Broner, then it'll definitely be someone around that weightclass.
P4P ranking isn't just about skills these days. It's a lot of other factors at play too it seems. Like popularity, if you're getting knockouts, etc. So fighting in the most popular division or near it can definitely help your case these days. Guys like Rigo and Mares are too small and won't ever make it close to that point imo, although they have the skillset.
I agree entirely, no one for ward to fight. I'd go broner because there's more big name match ups around 147
Golovkin, assuming the top fighters from 154 to 168 stop ducking him
BHOP will fight him, so will Ward and Froch.....Macklin is fighting him next. I don't think he is really at a loss for opponents.
Ward's multiple injuries will really impact his longevity in the sport in my opinion. Rigondeaux's age could be an issue. Broner's just not good enough. I'll go outside the box and say someone like Demetrius Andrade will be on top in 5 years.
seriously don't understand why people love Garcia so much. he is going to get beaten soon, matthysse or peterson will beat him. khan was definitely beating him until he got into more of a brawl and got tagged by Danny's best shot.
i think it will probably be broner, ward doesn't get the attention broner is getting already. rigo is going to be 35 in 3 years, which isn't ancient but getting on, plus he is in a lighter division were there is less top competition. golovkin has potential to be #1 if he gets the fights he needs. alvarez is definitely in contention.
