And the Ward saga seems to continue, between having a last minute opponent rejected by NSAC, having an injury and pulling out of the Cotto/Canelo PPV undercard fight with Alexander Brand, and now also being slid down on the list of The Ring's P4P fighters to be below both Kovalev and Golovkin.
1. Chocolatito
2. Kovalev
3. Golovkin
4. Ward
5. Rigo
6. Klitschko
7. Crawford
8. Pacquiao
9. Yamanaka
10. Brook

No problem with it, not happy with Ward right now. RIP to Goossen but he was made to look as if he was the one holding Ward back or something but I don't see how Ward Career Moves outside of the ring has improved since the passing the the late Dan Goossen
I disagree. Can't think of many prospects that have beat this many top 10ish contenders.
That being said, Wlad clearly deserves to be higher.
the top tenish people he beat were not impressive before or after he beat them...Proska and Murray were the best he has beat IMO.....its not like he is in a stacked division like 147, 175, 112, 122, or 154...those Top tenish guys are ok but the division is pretty shallow like when Hopkins was the man in the late 90s and his resume shows it.....his best wins are over guys from 147 and 154 who moved up
GGG has accomplished nothing or beat no one to make me believe he is a better fighter than Klitchko....this man is has been dominant before anyone knew who lil G was...the list is hot gawbage....WLad is top 3 p4p....GGG has the resume of a prospect

Somewhat agreed. Kovalev and Golovkin don't deserve to be higher than Wladimir. Nobody knows them besides hardcore boxing fans, they are not proved boxers and aren't big names.
Wlad is generational, while Kov and GGG are short time fame boxers.
he hasn't been "the champ" for that long. he really only became the "champ" after beating povetkin. 1 vs number 2. not 1 vs number 3. that's not how it works in any other division. also in the povetkin fight he clearly should have been dq'd so that hurts his ranking as it should.
give it up fan boy.....Wlad been laying waste to heavyweight and at one point held a win over 8 out of 10 of the top ten contenders
GGG is a nobody with a bunch and die hard fans...dude is 34 and finally unified two belts...He is champion of his own division....there is no way you can argue him being over a proven champion like Wlad except him being your preference. Wlad is proven on the top level....GGG is not
you said it yourself. 5 years ago. this isn't a list from 2010

Klitschko not being number 1 is beyond me, undisputed unified heavyweight champion for like 10 years, that paper WBC title doesn't matter, he fought everybody out there and still winning at the age of 39 at a very dangerous division, yea his era didn't have too many great fighters but he dominated for so long and he deserves that number 1 spot without a doubt.
GGG being ranked that high is ridiciulous and Brook making the list is just insane.

Uhh... I love GGG, but how if Wlad not ahead of him and Ward. GGG still trying to clean out his weak division...Wlad cleaned his out 5 years ago. If P4P is on the eye test I guess giving it to GGG, but if its on resume...you gotta go with Wlad...his comp has been better. Not saying GGG cant be p4p #1, but come on. Wlad's owned his division for 10 years now. What more do you want him to do?
Andre Ward isnt in my p4p top 1000 because he isnt an active fighter. I do my rankings once every 2 years and all he has accomplished in that period is he beat someone named Paul Smith that ive never heard of.

How anyone can look at this list and think GGG deserves to be #3?
The rest of the list aren't really doing anything.
1. Chocolatito - active
2. Kovalev - active
3. Golovkin - active
4. Ward - inactive
5. Rigo - hasn't fought a top 10 since 2013
6. Klitschko - should be higher
7. Crawford - Dulorme/Jean
8. Pacquiao - should be higher
9. Yamanaka - ?
10. Brook - Frankie Gavin & Jojo Dan
GGG cheerleaders are on me like white on rice, pulling out the rule book on me, with these crooked ranking systems in boxing
Murray, Lemieux those are his good wins
He can be n i think he will be top 5 p4p, hes skills looked top 5 p4p vs Lemieux, but i dont think hes proved it yet, n it aint his fault obviously, most boxers are ducking him, but it aint Ward n Ward would school him
Also since we in the GGG topic n have a GGG cheerleaders attention got u ladies panties all bunched up lol, he said he would fight anybody from 154-168 now he back tracks and wont fight Ward at 168 n Canelo at 155 wtf?????
Asking for Ward @ 164 was a b1tch move, I'll give you that.
But Canelo asking for 155 lol who is he kidding. He's no Mayweather. I have no idea how he even makes that weight, he looks fairly lean at mid 160s.
