P4P is about opinion, so of course ESPN's list is not the end all of be all.
But ESPN is a major media source that covers boxing, so it is respected.
My only thing about this fight is how Manny goes from being ranked from number 6 to number 4 over Sergio Martinez, Wladimir Klitschko?

Once again, you know it's opinionated, shared your thoughts on the list.
Pacquiao & Donaire shouldn't be on the list. Froch should be higher.

4.Martinez
5.Froch
6.Alvarez
7.Matthysse
8.Klitschko

10.Bradley
Pacquiao and Donaire shouldn't......but you have Alvarez at 6, Lucas on there at all, Bradley still on, and Sergio at 4?????
Alvarez is good, he got a big win over Trout, not sure if that puts him in the Top 10 though. He's right outside, in the 11-15 tier for me.
Same with Lucas. If Lucas beats Danny Garcia though, hell 100% be in my Top 10, same for Danny if he beats Lucas.
Bradley hasn't beaten a good opponent since Alexander, but he has a golden opportunity to get back in the Top 10 with Marquez obviously. And no he lost clear as day to Pacquiao.
And Sergio is still in the Top 10, but he has to fall with arguably losing to Martin Murray.
Pacquiao was KO'd by Marquez, just prior to that he beat Bradley when he was undefeated and actually a Top 10 P4P fighter. He's dropped since losing to Marquez, but to #7 for me.
And though Donaire was outclassed by Rigondeaux, he's still showed he's one of the best fighters in the world beating top guys at 118-122 still.
Froch is definitely in the Top 10, but at like 9. He picked up some good wins over Bute and Kessler, and if Sergio doesn't fight Geale or Golovkin next, and Froch keeps winning, and Manny keeps fighting guys like Rios/Alvarado/Provonikov (decent enough fighters but not real contenders at 147), than I'll have no problem moving Froch up.
How could you snub Mares so bad???
He's on a roll. He beat Darchinyan, should have beaten Perez, Agbeko, Moreno, and Ponce. Won titles from 118-126, he's most definitely in the Top 10. His run has been better than Froch the past couple years and he's undefeated.
Pacquiao & Donaire shouldn't be on the list. Froch should be higher.

I like Froch but #6? Bit too high!
It's not a bad list, order is a bit off IMO but that what you get when put to a vote...
Mares should be in instead of Bradley, and I'd also like to see Chocolatito in there also until we see how Nonito rebounds in his next few fights.
But at the end of the day P4P is just fantasy so who gives a ****?:boxing:
Yes, this is just a terrible list, everything is ass backwards lol.
No doubt man. Basically ESPN and the Ring have turned p4p rankings into a popularity contest and that's ****ing bs.

Now this list is much better than the current ESPN list.
As much crap as I give Dan Rafael his p4p rankings were fairly accurate. However, ever since they went to this new format they went to ****.
To answer your question, no I don't agree with the, they're a complete joke now imo.

I agree, so how would you re-order the list?
