    It's time for Top Rank to have it's own rankings

    This is ridiculous now. Why should Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez and Tim Bradley keep their P4P positions if all they do is fight eachother plus a series of C level fighters such as "chris algieri", "ruslan provodnikov", "brandon rios" and "mike alvarado".

    It is not fair for non TR fighters who are actually fighting real opposition. One could easily make the argument that Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Keith Thurman and Lucas Matthysse can take out both Bradley and Marquez.

    Let Bob Arum have in house rankings since all he does is in house fights!

    The thing is those fighters you listed Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Keith Thurman and Lucas Matthysse havent fought anyone really beside Lucas who the only legit contender the rest were has been or not yets. Khan hasnt had a legit win since judah, Thurman best win is soto karass, Porter best win is paulie (tremendous victory) but in my eyes not enough to dethrone a p4p in the rankings.

    give em a year or two after they start destroying legit competition then yes let them gets top teir rankings accolades.

        Yeah. Bob arum only does in-house fights



        Provodnikov-Bradley.

        Provodnikov-Alvarado

        Crawford-Gamboa


        ... Those are all in-house fights, right? I suppose fighting Ron Salka and TBA is better; right?

              How in the world is Paulie Malignaggi Porter's best win? Shawn Porter carreer highlight so far is beating the odds and winning the IBF welterweight title against Devon Alexander. He is also about to face a top 10 undefeated welterweight in Kell Brook.

              Amir Khan made a great statement in his first 147 fight, a lot people thought he was going to go down at least once in that fight with Collazo, if he wins next against Devon or Guerrero Khan becomes a legit WW threat.

              Keith Thurman is indeed still green but you could easily make the argument that he KO's Marquez and Bradley... i mean Ruslan and Mike Alvarado dropped both, i don't see why One Time wouldn't be able to do the same and even finish the job by stopping them. Same can be said for Lucas Matthysse.

                  Sure why not. Golden Boy has their own rankings (The Ring).

                    ...You are aware that it is no such thing as an OFFICIAL P4P List Right? P4P List are all JUST OPINIONS of Fans and Boxing Writers/Media People.
