Comments Thread For: Joining the crowd: One latecomer’s pound-for-pound take

[MDPopescu]

The guy cleanly beat out his entire division and fought the best in the next weight class up and stopped him (regardless of weight issues). Mind you, his weight class isn't considered weak like Heavyweight is and he's systematically dismantling everyone put in his path. He's #1. Most skills, best competition, and best product boxing has to offer today. Doesn't need to be exciting. Just needs to be right.

The "guy" (Ward) "beat out his entire division" -- namely Kessler (not so "cleanly") and Froch...
... Then "fought the best in the next weight class up"!!! Dawson? Really?

Danny was good.
... And Rigo is not from this world -- he's the "true Alien" (therefore is so hard to rank him).

I was actually kind of enjoying the read.. Until I got to the list itself!

Atleast he had the decency to put Wladimir high up on the list but in all truth no way does Andre Ward deserve to be higher rated P4P than a guy who is breaking all the HW records, absolutely no way in hell has he done anything worthy of meriting that rating!
I honestly do think its bias when it comes to that over Wladimir, perhaps If Wladimir was fighting regularly state-side instead of in Europe he'd get the recognition he rightfully deserves.

Don't agree with Martinez being a "10a" GGG completely holds that made up number If there's to be a middleweight in the top 10 P4P, you can't put someone in who's look massively unimpressive and wants to duck the potential fight all the fans want to see just so he can fill his wallet with even more cash when he's been massively inactive, the fight with GGG could of happened in Argentina... There was no point fighting Murray.

Then Carl Frock... No, just no!

Yes, lets not rank Serg for being injured or beating better comp just because he hasnt been able to fight the guy you want him to. Lets disregard resumes now lol. Sorry, Serg... Disregard that lineal title you havent lost yet (by beating top fighters and a few p4p fighters) because you didnt look as good vs Murray as GGG did vs Ishida.


We all like GGG but to claim Serg shouldnt be on the list is hilarious. Hell, most have him top 5 an dude was top 3 up til he got injured. Now, these other dudes looking less impressive or taking L's are ranked higher? Whaaat? Wether Serg is the best in his division anymore is irrelevant until he is proved not to be. Thats like ranking Pac higher than Floyd at welter. S hit makes no sense
This list is pretty bad imo.

There's nothing wrong with those two ratings. You think Manny would beat Garcia? I doubt that.

Garcia and Rigo as well as those other guys in the middle are a toss up. The main thing is that he most of the right people on the list. Matter of fact everyone after Floyd and Ward could be toss ups and fall anywhere on the list (except that Froch BS he put on there, but at least he admitted it)

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - If legitimate news/opinion about football, baseball, basketball or hockey is what you’re after, the “traditional” media outlets and a handful of new-generation online sources are rock-solid choices.

But when it comes to boxing, it’s a modern-day wild, wild west.

Just a few seconds of cyber globe-spanning can elicit news with myriad degrees of reliability, opinion with myriad degrees of sanity and overall material with myriad degrees of value.

The wide range of content out there is a testament to the new normal, where anyone with a functioning keyboard and steady Internet access can apply for a credential and call himself/herself a journalist.

A common denominator of all strata is the pound-for-pound list. [Click Here To Read More]

Are you SERIOUS ???????

[BuckToothed]

P4P lists should be prefaced with the author's basis for the ranking...
1. Current year's accomplishments
2. Skill set/attributes
3. Free-for-all (i.e. 1+2+popularity)

Or else having Wlad at 3 or Froch anywhere is a bit vague.

How could anybody hope for Pacquiao's demise from the sport? Sure, his fanboys can get pretty annoying, but many of them have become semi-knowledgeable and are likely to be boxing fans for life. There is literally nothing to dislike about Manny Pacquiao as a man or boxer and he clearly elevates the sport like few others ever have. I understand wanting to see Marquez finally beat him or wanting people to give Floyd credit as the best on the planet, but I don't know a single person who wants Manny out of boxing other than those who want to see him retire with his health intact.
