Comments Thread For: Why Pound-For-Pounds Lists Are All Meaningless

[Rodtang]

P4P lists are nonsense. You can not say one fighter is better than another when they fight in completely different weight divisions. 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.

p4p list is as natural as anything in boxing. Of course its going to be subjective. Hell the scoring of a lot of fights is subjective and people argue over score cards. Its completely natural for boxing fans to ask who was the best and especially who was the best across different eras and different weight classes.


If you got say usyk and lomachenko, then its goign to be natural to look at them as a boxing fan and say hey who do you think is the best ukrainian boxing fighter today. Why not, what is wrong with that? I mean we watch sports for fun.

Fun? Ain’t no room for fun on NSB when you got serious business, and where you got a bunch of haters and/or fanboys arguing.

Speculation. Fury is ranked #1

Doesn't matter who rates him no1. That's opinion. It's subjective. AJ was no1 for a couple of years. I bet you didn't say he was the best heavyweight of the era. And the thing is, at that time he'd beaten more better fighters than Fury. Fury is the P4P king of beating Wilder. That's it I'm afraid. He has potential though.

BUT WHEN IDIOTS HAD LOMACHENKO AS THE NUMBER ONE P4P IN THE WORLD IDIOTS IN THIS WEBSITE INCLUDING KEITH IDEC DIDNT CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES PERSPECTIVE. THEY HAD NO PROBLEM HAVING LOMA AS THE BEST ♂️ WHY? WHO KNOWS. Color COMPLEXION??? PROBABLY

The current P4P #1 is a redheaded Irishman. What exactly is your point?

Sugar Ray Robinson might have never been able to beat a Deontay Wilder just because of size.

But in skills and ability and ring IQ Robinson was on a whole different planet than Deontay.

And that's what P4P is, a way to honor the finest exponents of the craft of boxing. Regardless of size.

P4P is a complete load of rubbish, made up so little boxers can feel better about themselves.

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

That is in the opinion category Not fact. Go read the article again a little slower this time.

Love him or hate him, he's the best in certain limited weight categories. He isn't the best in the world. That title is reserved for boxing's open category.

He's the best. That would be opinion. Not fact. Still not proven.

Class article. Thus guy knows his stuff. Well said sir.

P4P takes resume in acct admixed the eye test. Canelo #1 4 divisions quality wins every division + this peak 168 canelo looks like a high iq ginger mini hulk. Fury #2. Eye test n got actual quality wins lately. Bud hasnt had quality wins since 140 n eye test debate teflo there spence davis & so on so #3 n after debate time. 1-2 solidified. Who 160-168 beats nelo who hw beats fury usyk to small aj no cardio n too chinny take 2 yrs when hrgovic yaka ready n fury aged before a loss. By then fury retires after whyte or wallin then usyk aj winner.
