    Your avatar, at first glance I thought was a photoshopped picture of Floyd and Pac mixed up together.

      Cotto's victory over Sergio gave him his first lineage and without it, I wouldn't have him #1.
      Cotto hasn't cleaned out a division like how Andre ward has.

        I picked Golovkin because he's got great all around skills and is a very exciting fighter. He's not all defense, he's not all offense, he's not all speed with no power, he's not all power with no speed, he's not a pot shot fighter, he's not a fighter that throws a bunch of meaningless punches in order to land one good one.

        Gennady's a rare fighter that's just got a great blend of everything from speed to power, from great defense to great offense that include precise combinations that target both body and head. He's someone who can put it all together very well, that's why I like him a lot and feel that he's the best fighter aged 30-34. I also think that he can top any champion in his division if given the chance.

            Cotto has the best resume. Ward is the best fighter, but Ward will get there resume-wise if he ever decides to get back in the ring.

              Andre Ward hasn't won titles in multiple divisions like Miguel Cotto has.

                Best boxer - Andre Ward by a landslide

                That is the problem with polls the Americans will vote for the American fighter, Brits the British and so on rather than keeping it real and voting for the best boxer which to me is quite obviously Rigondeaux.

                Ward is a good well schooled fighter but I don't see what I'd class as an elite skillset. In my eyes he is a Jack of all trades master of none.

                  Guillermo Rigondeaux, Cotto, Ward, Lara for me though he is basic hes a very good pure boxer, the rest I can't place on a best boxers list as they're simply too unproven or as successful as they have been their boxing ability leaves a lot to be desired.
                  Personally I do not think Bradley is a very good boxer but many will argue he is a top 10 P4P based on skills

                    You would be surprised. It's more likely that only African Americans and Foreigners(like me) actually picked Andre Ward or Guillermo Rigondeaux with some exceptions of posters who can keep it real, while other Americans and Caucasians pick either GGG or Kovalev, and I am not even insinuating racism, whatever it is; "it is what it is". I would preferbaly like to think it's a "Style of fighting" thing rather than picking based on color. Or they refuse to vote at all because they feel Ward is the best, but would rather not give the credit where credit is due.

                      the best fighters on that list are ward and rigondeaux.


                      i'd place rigondeaux over ward right now on the p4p list.
