All of the top P4P are winning fights they shouldn't be able to win. Too hard to pick, that's the real truth.

That being said the next P4P king will be Abdullah Mason

Exciting style and the hunger to expose and ko overmatched opps. Sky's the limit for the kid

Benavidez should be ranked higher than Ginger just based off Ginger ducking him

Thats the problem with up-to-date P4P lists, most people don't know how to ignore fights from early in a fighters career as those fights arent really relevant anymore to who a fighter is at the moment. As if beating a middle aged man nearly a decade-and-a-half ago is still relevant now?!?!
Yet they will cite that resume as such.

[Oracle01]

Neither. Benavidez is the guy and its hilarious how he keeps being ignored. If he goes up 25lbs and beats Zurdo he should be ahead of any other american. 25lbs is the biggest weight jump in the sport.

you definitely shouldn't be given any accolades or kudos if you duck the #1 guy in your division for 4 years
