    wrong.

    skills are just not boxing technique.

    the young pacquiao might have been limited but his natural skills such as his speed and punching power have to be taken into account.

    p4p list was a way of ranking fighters head to head on a level playing field.

    obviously a 140 lb. pacquiao could never beat a 250 lb. vitali klitschko but if pacquiao and vitali were the same size most people would pick pacquiao to win hence why pacquiao would be ranked higher than vitali p4p.

      therefore...

      the klisk should be on the list

        BUT...

        Shouldnt that list have at least a minimum requirement? for me to be in the p4p list.. u need at least to be a 2 division champion. I know theres a lot "catch weight" fights out there that are as significant or bigger than any other fight... but i think it would be nice.. if at least we could have some ..

        basic standard measure to figure out the most "correct" list.

        With that being said..

        I dont think that any fighter who only have one belt @ one division should be consider to be in the p4p list.


        Do you agree?
        No,thats a ridiculous notion,its a bit like saying,"Sorry Mr.Hagler,but because you lamely decided to stay at MW for your entire career,you arent worthy of a P4P rating".

        This is some WWE bull**** and it needs to stop now.

            I always think that notion is flawed too, because a heavyweight, because of his size cant do and move like the smaller guys. When I heard Ali make a reference to SRR, he said basically the same thing, but if SRR was a heavyweight he wouldnt be fighting like he did at 160, he wouldnt be able to move like that.

                  whether flawed or not. that's what was the intent of the p4p list.

                  if all fighters were the same size how would you rate them.

                  it's the simplest and most efficient way really.

                    Anybody that knows about boxing knows exactly how P4P stacks up.Winning belts in different divisions is completely irrelevant,its not about that,its about a hypothetical argument as to how one fighter at a given weight would fare against another fighter of a different weight assuming they were on a level playing field,and trying to change this notion by putting a minimum requirement like you have suggested is frankly ridiculous.

                      you telling me israel vazquez doesn't deserve to be on the list?
