What is your current P4P top 5 and why?
Mine:
1/2: Crawford/Lomachenko
It's kinda hard to choose between these two, as both of them are at a higher level than the rest of the boxing world at the moment. Both are dominant two division champions and while Lomachenko has a bit better wins (Rigo>Gamboa, Walters>Indongo, Russel>Postol) and has achieved them in shorter time, but Crawford has more wins and doesn't have a loss to Salido, so I don't know. They share the 1st/2nd spot for me.
3: Joshua
The guy is the king of the heavyweight divisino, undefeated, the physically most perfect boxer ever. He proved to have the heart of a champion in beating Klitschko and I can't wait for him to rape Wilder!
4/5: Golovkin/Canelo
Golovkin... He's undefeated on paper, though one could argue he lost to Jacobs and Canelo. He's the champ and may beat Canelo in a rematch, or maybe not, I dunno...

you could argue any fight that goes to decision could go the other way. you can argue floyd lost to baldomir and canelo
I have Loma number 1 after his total domination of Rigo and passing my eye test. People usually get PFP mixed up with resume. Resume is what a boxer has already done. PFP is how good you think he is for his pounds today based on very recent fights. A boxer doesn't need a good resume to get a high pfp rating. They only have to make you think they would be very hard to beat in their weight class. My numer 2 is GGG. People can say he lost to Jacobs and Canelo if they dislike him that much. The fact is the pro odds makers who handicap boxers for a living make GGG a solid 3 to 2 betting favorite over Canelo in a rematch and a 3 to 1 betting favorite in a potential rematch with Jacobs so clearly they think GGG deserved to win both of those fights. Spence is my number 3, Crawford is my number 4 and Canelo is my number 5. I have to rank Crawford as a welterweight now and I think Spence can beat him so I must rank Spence higher than Crawford. Crawford's fighting skills and power are obvious and don't need to be explained. Spence is a hell of a fighter who can't build his resume as high as it should be because most top guys are afraid to fight him. Canelo earned his number 5 spot by looking great in his last few fights including an official draw with GGG. I don't expect anyone to agree with my picks and I don't care. I have given it careful thought and there they are. PFP threads always start arguments and often name calling.

1. Lomachenko
1.b Crawford
---
3. GGG
4. Canelo
5. Mikey Garcia
But I think Usyk or Estrada take the #5 spot if they win their fights in February and Mikey moves down to 7.
