What is your personal criteria for determining p4p and all time status? It really seems that most people have their own determining factors for determining a fighters status wether it be the opposition they fought, winning streak, weight classes successful in....etc. I also noticed many people here are more lenient on a fighters losses than others. For me, and this is personal... I judge status on strenght of a fighters competition and willingness to fight hard competition. This is not a strike on any fighter and I do have Floyd as p4p based on demonstrated ability but I absolutely loved fighters that love to challenge other top fighters just to prove a point.

Win/loss record against fighters fought, the quality of fighters in the era, and with a sprinkle of in ring ability.
Mayweather for instance could never crack a top 20 all-time list because he missed out on too many importance bouts in his best years. You don't see many welterweight champs just retire for 2 years when you have a bunch of good fights to have.
Even with his strong resume below 140, he still missed guys like Casamayor, Johnston and Freitas. It's just too much to catch up on.Last edited by bravestone; 05-11-2013, 01:04 PM.
