The top 2 Flyweights made the list, awesome. Finally, some well deserved recognition for the smaller weights. Gonzalez is definitely above Estrada on the P4P rankings. So beautiful to see them on the list... thanks BoxingScene.

The two best divs with deepest pools of comp are 147 and 112 IMO. They are both well represented I think

Canelo doesn't belong on any P4P list, or at least not in the top 10. He got schooled by Floyd, beat Angulo, who was tailor made for him, and barely beat Lara.

I had Lara even, thought he lost to Trout, and he was passive at best in his biggest fight. I commend his matching guts but I haven't seen anything special there at all. Fun guy though.

Why do people act like anything below 122 doesn't exist? That's why we have p4p lists. If Roman Gonzalez was a 147 fighter dominating the top fighters like this and moving up weight classes he would be #2 on everybody's list.

and he would never have a chance to become #1 because the #1 guy would duck him for 5 years. an easy way to keep your top spot as the "best" just don't fight guys that can beat you

My thinking exactly

That was one of the worst pound for pound list i have ever seen

Carl Froch should NOT be on any Pound 4 Pound list and Rigondeaux is too low.

I agree. Canelo is a solid fighter, but not Great. Only GREAT fighters should be on it.

[VG_Addict]

Gonzalez should be AT LEAST in the top 5. Look at his accomplishments:

3 weight champion.

Wins over Estrada, Yaegashi, Takayama, Hirales, and Rodriguez. Estrada and Rodriguez both later went on to become unified champions.

All at the age of 27.

Gonzalez is one of the best fighters in the world. Criminally underrated, even by so called boxing fans.

I agree but he isn't p4p the second best guy on the planet. His power makes him exciting and I'm a fan but he isn't very good defensively, gets hit a lot and although he may warrant a place at 10 or possibly slightly outside the top 10, to have him at 2 is crazy, above guys like Rigo, Pac, Wlad, Froch...

I don't think Klits overall quality of comp warrants a rating. Great Heavyweight. Not great compared to the skill and depth of what guys in the best divisions have to deal with.

Klit deserves a top 5 ranking, come on now
