ESPN's New P4P Rankings

[bojangles1987]

How is Roman Gonzalez not higher? Especially when Golovkin and Cotto are higher. That's ridiculous to me.

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
2. Wladimir Klitschko
3. Andre Ward
4. Manny Pacquiao
5. Guillermo Rigondeaux
6. Roman Gonzalez
7. Miguel Cotto
8. Juan Manuel Marquez
9. Carl Froch
10. Danny Garcia

I really like your list, other than Wlad. But hey, 9 out of 10 is better than can expect when 2 people talk p4p lists.

Well if u count it that way, then what about the 2 losses to Marquez?

well if they find it that way then it's all good...it's a group of people who did that p4p ranking based on their personal opinions...not yours or mine.

[Dr Rumack]

Some adjustment is needed.

Can't see how Wlad isn't ranked higher ... He's only been the Champ since 2005 and hasn't lost a fight since 2004. And GGG deserves the ranking, but no way, should he be ranked higher than Wlad.

How is Roman Gonzalez not higher? Especially when Golovkin and Cotto are higher. That's ridiculous to me.

The closer you are to the weight extremes, the less well you do in P4P lists it seems.

Cotto shouldn't even whiff the p4p list, Sergio Martinez was a finished fighter when Cotto demolished him. Domenic Spada would have been able to upset Martinez that night. Golovkin + Klitschko should be higher, Bradley and Marquez should be lower. Here's my list:
1. Money May
2. Ward
3. Klitschko
4. GGG
5. Pacquiao
6. Chocalatito
7. Rigo
8. Bradley
9. JMM
10. Froch

Just my opinion obviously, but the only surefire names on any list should be Mayweather, Pacquiao, Rigondeaux, Gonzalez, Bradley, and Marquez. Not necessarily in that order, but those guys have to be on a list.

After that, too many names are too close to be sure about. I don't like Wlad on the list because nothing about his competition or performances say he's one of the 10 best fighters in the world.

Here's the universal P4P list:

1. Juan Manuel Marquez
2. Shannon Briggs
3. Takashi Uchiyama
4. Juan Francisco Estrada
5. Naoya Inoue
6. Canelo
7. Shinsuke Yamanaka
8. Abner Mares
9. GGG
10. Francisco Rodriguez Jr.

Glad to see someone acknowledge Briggs greatness. I'll post this again because I get such a laugh:

[Ray Corso]

p4p boxer is the easiest to see, Rigo!!
p4p fighter is the easiest to see GGG!

Mayweather
Pacman
Marquez
Bradley

no one else can box or fight well enough to make a p4p list!
Froch is a horrible boxer he has no style or form his jab is the worst jab I've ever seen!
Wlad does nothing exceptional!
Ward is eliminated for inactivity!

As for an ATG p4p fighter from this era to me it could be Rigo and possibly Mosley in his prime.
Mayweather hasn't had any offense in years and has no power to be considered an ATG.
