Like Fantasy match ups between fighters of different Era's.

So why do some people Obsess about it and use it to bolster their arguments?

I think P4P is an unnecessary part of boxing and too much emphasis is put on it.

What say you?
Are you a P4P Freak or do you take it for what it is.
Fantasy?

i agree whole heartedly too much emphasis put on the P4P rankings ,from what i can tell it is just away of picknig and choosing your oponents and getting paid bucket loads of cash for it

Boxers don't care about p4p, all they care about are $$$$$$ and honor.

i disagree i think it means everything to PBF he never misses an opurtunity to tell anyone he just happens to be the best fighter in the world

I disgaree, its not a big deal, its supposed to be a list of the best fighters in the world, but ring magazine have complicated it and put in factors like Numbers of titles won, who jumps up weight etc etc. Those shouldnt really be the deciding factor.

Ive yet to see one person make a competant P4P list, mainly because its very difficult when you do it the proper way, which is simply to list the 10 best fighters in the world regardless of weight,

Under these rules Mayweather, Pacquaio, Rafeal Marquez and Perhpas Hopkins would make it onto this list, anybody else im not sure.

I say an exception rather than the rule. Floyd is obsessed with himself.

he did not have to because people gave it to him for so many years so maybe it somehow rubbed in his brain lol.
