    "pleb like Povetkin"

    That's an ignorant, ****** comment.

        his one win against estrada is greater than anything the rest of the top ten p4p have done in AWHILE.

        to say gonzalez isn't at least #4 p4p is just being crazy. i think if he beats the winner of estrada vs segura he deserves to be put at #2 p4p. but since the boxing media fail to look at the lower weight classes like they fail to look at heavyweight (and give wlad his respect) then he will forever stay at the very bottom of the top ten.

        gonzalez p4p is truly a legend. he does NOTHING wrong and he has consistently been beating the best #1 or #2 guys in his division.

        gonzalez is already a lock for the hall of fame imo.

        i'd need to look at his opponents more. the ones i have seen haven't been much to write home about.


        still, gonzalez is a very good fighter. he's dominant over men of his size. that's what a p4p fighter does.

          According to The Ring he's been Number 9 on the P4P list for almost three months.

            He was top 10 before today's fight. The argument is whether he should be top 5 at this stage. Especially with Andre Ward likely to drop out of the rankings due to one year of inactivity.

                  tunney, is povetkin a good fighter?

                  do you think he'd be a contender in the 70's or 90's?

                      I can allow him on a top 10p4p list but at exactly 10 for now, any higher is criminal and criminally insane. 5 or higher y andate a la verga.
