    Is Floyd the p4p emeritus champion?

    Ok so correct me if I'm wrong here, but Floyd was P4P king, and then he retired. Shouldn't that mean he's the emeritus champion?

    When Kessler and Vitali both retired for a while, they were emeritus champion, so it should be the same thing for Floyd unless there's some bias going on.

    It makes sense as well because it means he can force a p4p title fight after he wins, or at least I think that's how it works?

            Yeah, but it always bothered me that Hatton got that shot without earning it.

            Calzaghe, Hopkins, Israel Vasquez etc. were all ranked above him on the p4p list, yet he became Floyd's mandatory without fighting them, wtf?

              P4P ranking are the dumbest rankings on earth, they prove nothing and its all a game of "What Ifs". 90% of the time its midgets on the P4P list and people magically think that at any weight they will be amazing.

              If Manny was a HW he wouldnt do anything like he does in the ring at his weight class, since weighing more you cant be as fast and move around that quick.

              If Wlad lost 100 lb he wouldnt have the jab and the 1-2 that he has now.

              Its the dumbest ranking ever, If I ever get a time-machine I will go back and assassinate the person who created/invented the P4P rankings or term.

                I see it as overall who are the best fighters in the sport. Moving people around on the list is subjective to people's personal opinion, but in the end I think it helps identify who are the best fighters in the sport.
