ESPN's New P4P Rankings

[beez721]

lol why is wlad suddenly so high in everybody's ranking?

who did he beat that has him suddenly so high in p4p lists?

he hasnt lost in over 10 yrs and has racked up alot of lopsided defenses. opposition hasnt been great but longevity and total dominance has to be taken into consideration

Boxing needs its own cable channel, seriously. Only ex-fighters and guys who actually watch and understand the mechanics of the sport should be talking on it.

Golovkin is one of my favorite fighters right now, but they have him above Wlad and Gonzalez. Not to mention Froch is no where to be found.

[just the facts]

What a crap list. Here's the real P4P list:


1)Wlad Klitschko
2)Floyd Mayweather
3)Gennady Golovkin
4)Roman Gonzalez
5)Guillermo Rigondeaux
6)Sergey Kovalev
7)Manny Pacquiao
8)Timothy Bradley
9)Vasyl Lomachenko
10)Juan Manuel Marquez


First of all Andre Ward is retired. Any list with Ward in it is automatically invalid until he returns to the ring. Also any list without Wlad as #1 is invalid because he- and any other HW champion in boxing history is the reason there's even a fantasy "P4P" list in the first place.

Terrance Crawford is on the outside looking in and next in line, IMO.

Holy crap this list is even worse than theirs. Wlad #1??? GGG with zero quality wins?? Kovalev with zero quality wins??? Lomanchenko with 3 pro fights and one of them is a loss at #9??? This is a P4P ranking, not a list of your favorite fighter

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.

Another bad list

Being able to evaluate skill levels is as important as reading wins & looses and opponents names.
Being successful for 10 years and fighting nobodies doesn't relate to be a p4p king. It should get you in the HoF but lacking so many skills can't rank you in a p4p rating!
Joe Louis was never given credit for his wins once the division was depleted but his methods & techniques were never in question. p4p is about skill level
not popularity.

I thought it was obvious that I was joking.

only a ******ed person or someone suffering from down syndrome would put wlad in #1.

People will point to skill or to records depending on what point they want to make.

how is wlad not #1 p4p? he is the MOST DOMINANT boxer right now and has been dominant for so long now. he is the clear top dog at heavyweight. he has power and the boxing IQ to give anyone problems. he is also a great person charismatic, humanitarian and the perfect representative for the sport of boxing.

my top 5:

1. wlad
2. froch
3. pac
4. gonzalez
5. rigo
