P4P is conceptually a deeply flawed concept but if you are gonna use it Boxrec ain't the one to use...
Ring and TBRB both make much more sense.

In both cases I think it can be seen the boxing truly is - more than at any point in history - an international sport with great representatives from across the globe irrespective of bullchit like race and nationality. A fact we should be celebrating to my mind.
Oh how Boxing and its forums have fallen..... America is STILL DOMINATING a sport they don't even really care about.... why?... because there is NO competition.
That said, I would duck me and this thread too if I were you.... my archived posts, threads, and calls are ICONIC.

I guess that money the top boxers get paid just grows on trees.
Anybody can spin anything critically.
Boxing is big all over the world, and has been for literally, centuries. It is the only sport about which that can be said.
Reference.

.....But let me try spinning too.
MMA is on a downward trend in terms of international interest, buy rates and star recognition. It is failing to grab a next generation's attention and in spite of great marketing by Frank & Lorenzo Fertitta, the sport has cooled off and they knew when to cut it loose.
Today, MMA lags well behing Boxing in the US, and in every other country save for Brazil, where MMA has seen better days.
American Football is widely popular, but the talent net that supports the siphon of players will collapse during the next 15 years, as school boards inch closer to banning Football as a high school sport due to the growing acknowledgment of CTE injuries. This, in turn, will dry up the college game. It's coming.
Baseball is a dying sport, as it's pace holds very little interest for the ADD generation. With an aging fanbase and no large scale crop of younger fans to replace the old timers, the great American sport is being replaced.
See? It's easy.
Errol Spence at 10 after that ass whooping on Saturday come on man lol
Dropped him from 4 to 10 after getting destroyed by the guy I had at #1.
The ass whoppin doesnt erase everything else he did.

Personally, I’d have to drop Errol from top 10 entirely after his performance Saturday. I’d swap him out for Ioka, Bam, Kenshiro or JFE.
and maybe swap out Canelo for Shakur. Nelo is on the downswing of his career, and even though he’s 2-1 in his last 3, he’s looked awful (for himself) in all three of those.
Wow, they get #1 right and just about everything else wrong. :lol1:
How is Regis Prograis in your top 10?
How is Canelo still #2 after that one-sided beatdown from Bivol?
Now is GGG even on the list after his one-sided loss to Canelo?
Tank Davis has never even fought a top 5 fighter in his division, yet he's P4P?
BoxRec's algorhythm is the WOAT
They have Usyk ranked in 29th place :lol1:

Lol we Brits generally like American boxers. Your biggest issues are your own fans. No one hates an American boxer more than an American. Way too divided across the pond.
This right here.
America has too much interracial & intraracial hatred to be united as a country, even in boxing.
1) Crawford
2) Inoue
3) Usyk
4) Fury
5) Bivol
6) Canelo
7) Jermell
8) Beterbiev
9) Haney
10) Teofimo
I don’t think it’s quite that many on the list but USA is still #1
well if 6 out of the top 10 were japs were uk were i dont know russians were americans or mexicans or latinos or whatever, its great for sports to have competition where lots are in the mix otherwise it gets a bit boring imo, to me there can be something at times a bit boring for guys of the same nationality fighting all the time, its much better for fans for slagging etc when a mix in involved, much better, end this crappy war and get the east euros bigtime in the mix i would say plus other countries too, us and uk will always have a presence i think, pity no germans french spanish etc who tend to be very good at sports too but dont do boxing unfortunately
The strange thing I don't understand with the amerikans on this site is that they cheer against amerikan fighters in the olympics, american fighters in the pros, but most of them have never been out of the country hahaha.
Lol Boxrec rankings
Nobody in the world puts Prograis in the top 10, even though i think he's a good fighter.
Also GGG at 5 as of now? - he might be my favourite fighter and he was robbed in the first 2 canelo fights, should've been number 1 back then if the judges weren't corrupt. But he hasn't had a major significant win for a long time now. Its hard to rank him so high now.
Teofimo and Loma is in there ahead of your bottom 3 IMO.
Ok. I assume you mean 7-10.
I don’t have Loma based on his losses but the Haney fight was very close and he arguably won. He did lose so it’s hard to have him above.
I dont have Teo on because imo he lost to Martin. The Taylor win is good but I thought he lost to Catterall but both got “TR Bob special” wins since they generate more revenue.
