    What is it with P4P lists these days?

    Instead of a measure of overall skill and fighting ability, it seems to now be a popularity contest. I still dont get it. People are putting antonio tarver at #3? Ahead of tyszu and pacman? God, P4P lists are ****** now. It would be better to just say "rank." Antonio tarver is not a pound for pound better fighter than kostya tsyzu. Or felix trinidad for that matter even. I dont understand the whole logic of "until trinidad beats someone." hes beaten a ton of people, was high P4P before, and now comes back and destroys a good fighter in mayorga and doesnt even make top 10 with most people. yet because of one win, we have tarver at #3, the same guy who couldnt stop a washed up montell griffin, and the same guy who was beaten by eric harding? Someone clue me in.

        I'm gonna be honest with you, guy. I hate Antonio Tarver. I think he's the biggest **** since Clinton. But he was the first man to really beat Roy Jones, and that has to count for a hell of a lot. You can add up all the talent that the fighters Kostya Tzyu and Felix Trinidad have beaten over the past five years, and it still probably wouldn't be as much as Roy Jones had. Hell, I don't even expect Tarver to stay long, but until he loses to Glen Johnson or someone else he stays where he is. Number three on my list.

          Like i said before though- why has it become a question of the names youve beaten? Tarver may have beaten RJJ, but like i said, i cant beleive anyone realy thinks he could P4P take on kostya.
