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

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.

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.

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.

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

[Rodtang]

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.

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.

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.

Fury is ranked #1 in the HW division and has been for ages, which makes him the best in the division until someone beats him or he retires.

But yeah, who can beat him? Usyk? AJ? They both get demolished.

Your P4P no1 the craziest poster on here.
