Comparing fighters from different era's is also pointless. Totally different fighters perhaps different rules and regulations. How do you compare a guy who fights 12 rounders to a guy who fought 15 rounders for example. The only thing you can compare is current competitors within the same weight division. And even then it's subjective unless they actually have the fights. Beating the same guy continually only proves your better than that guy.
Prime Chocolatito was a far more skillful boxer than any version of Nikolai Valuev for example.
That's why P4P is not meaningless. It acknowledges and respects Chocolatito's mastery, even if he had no chance of beating Valuev head-to-head just because of size.Last edited by ShoulderRoll; 10-14-2021, 11:05 AM.BarfyMan362 likes this.

Tyson Fury is the best boxer in the world because nobody from any division can beat him in a fight.

I guess P4P lists are kind of meaningless. They're subjective, but they're fun to discuss too. As long as boxing is around, they'll be P4P lists, fantasy fight discussions etc.
It can be enjoyed while not being taken too serious. It's part of boxing.
