Granted he is the most technically skilled fighter in the world. But he doesn't have ko power at 120 pounds or whatever he was tonight. He was also beaten up. Badly beaten up.
Very little in life is fair, and in my mind he lost his aura of perfection and top p4p spot tonight by eating about 50 hard shots. Yes he put on a great performance and is a great and humble champion. Is he the face of the sport? Does he deserve to be placed above GGG Crawford Ward Kovalev and those guys? Seems very obvious that he is not and does not. Knock people out or put on a Floyd performance if u want to be a tiny p4p champ, he didn't do either tonight.
Put him in the lower slots until he doesn't something crazy like move up to a normal weight class, I don't even know the classes, is it 126 or 124... .? Beat lomenchenko and he can have his spot back.
Hes never going to be a huge star, but the crowd looked pretty good last night and everyone in a attendance and watching on TV will be tuning in next time.
Definitely, i think he does very well in terms of viewers and tickets for a fighter around those weight classes.
It's just hard to sell a guy as the number 1 guy in the sport when they're that size. Not his fault, just the perception of the general public.
He might well by p4p the best but he'll never be the face of the sport simply because the majority of people don't care about divisions like Flyweight.
It's hard to sell fights to the public when fighters are the size of 12 year old girls.
You might get the odd bantamweight or featherweight fight that sells ok but that's about it.

Yeah Einstein, except that GGG fought a 2 divisions smaller fighter while Chocolatito fought a 3 divisions naturally bigger man.
Isn't it obvious to you?
Yeah but Cuadras ain't really that good

4 weight world champion spanning an insurmountable weight of 10lbs
A few of my turds weigh more than the weight hes gained over his "P4P" reign
Every ounce counts in boxing fool
He might not be #1 but he's definitely in the conversation. He's on his 4th weight class. That has to be respected. Much more respected than someone else in the conversation that hasn't went up one weight class IMO. What I took away from his fight with Cudras last night is that he was not the dominate beast against someone who weighs just as much as him on fight night. He still won the fight though and he's a legitmate 4 division world champ with no losses. Give him his respect because he has earned it the right way.

true true. ( one inch in height is not 3 classes that's false, he wasn't at any size disadvantage tonight but whatever I give it to u)Ward may be an easier argument. I don't care that much. It's subjective, and on my personal list he's about 7 or 8. That's all, not a troll thread.....
Yeah it's an old name, I'm not a pundit but not an idiot either. Why do you think he still deserves that spot? He lost 4 or 5 rounds tonight to a guy i have never heard of. I suppose you knew of cuadras before tonight ,right? GGG broke a dudes face but that not impressive, right?

O and u are far from pundit status with your comparaision of a 130 pound lomenchenko to a 240 pound wilder. The best fighter in the world can't beat a 130 lb man. Wow
