New Pound for Pound Rankings (The Ring and TBRB)

froch over klitschko?

Yes. Froch has losses but that's because he fights a murderer's row of opponents, not a bunch of bums from the worst division in the sport.

The Ring's list is crap. Broner and Canelo definitely don't belong on there yet.

Good to see Chocolito finally getting some recognition. The Ring ratings are still ****ty but at least they finally gave Rigo his well deserved spot in the top 10.

TBRB is much better than the RING's of course, just because Alvarez and Broner are on it. I'm glad Gonzalez got on a P4P list, maybe a rematch with Estrada could be in the cards? Maybe the winner of the proposed Tyson Marquez-Giovanni Segura fight? Lots of possibilities and it would be great if we could get the guy on American TV.

TBRB's list >>>>> The Ring's list

That being said I don't understand the obsession with top 10 P4P lists, just name the guys who you think are the best fighters on the planet, if you got more or less than 10 names so be it.

I prefer boxingscene's PFP list, although they need to update on Mares.

Minus the ridiculous Pacquiao ranking the ESPN rankings are probably the best I've seen, Boxingscene's are probably as bad as any (Wladimir #10, Gonzalez #9, Mares #6, Froch #5?!).

Here's mine anyway:

1. Mayweather
2. Ward
3. Marquez
4. Martinez
5. Rigondeaux
6. Klitschko
7. Pacquiao
8. Donaire
9. Bradley
10. Froch

I would have probably had Mares just below Donaire before the Gonzalez fight. A lot of things could change with some interesting match-ups taking place later this year.

[Lords]

So beating Trout unimpressively puts you on the P4P list? Cant cant that list seriously.

[vacon04]

TBRB list is better than The Ring list, however I think that they ranked Pacquiao way too high and I'm not sure Donaire should be there anymore, I think a case could be made for Hopkins to be there again.

[vacon04]

Oh and Alvarez and Broner on The Ring list is just a joke.

[vacon04]

Also Ward should be taken out of any P4P list soon, his last fight was on September 8 of 2012 which was almost 1 year ago. IMO anyone who is inactive for more than a year shouldn't be ranked anymore.

[soul_survivor]

This isn't a bad list:

Mayweather
Ward
Marquez
Martinez
Pacquiao
Froch
Klitschko
Rigondeaux
Donaire
R. Gonzalez

Godd to see Chocolito get some recognition, I probs wouldn't have him up there, I'd have Bradley. Other than that, solid list, I'd change the order of the top 5 or 6 but still, a much more sound list than the crap the ring post.

Broner and Canelo? LOL

Also Ward should be taken out of any P4P list soon, his last fight was on September 8 of 2012 which was almost 1 year ago. IMO anyone who is inactive for more than a year shouldn't be ranked anymore.

agreed, i personally wouldn't have ward number 2 anyway but the fact he is there off the back of 2 wins is quite ridiculous.
