Makes no sense really. Hopkins and Pascal are far, far better fighters than Murray and Rubio [GGG]. They're better than Groves 2x [Froch], they're better than a loss and a win to Bradley and Alvarado [Marquez], and they are absolutely better than a Draw and a Loss to Chaves and Pacquiao [Bradley]. Basically, Kovalev is being robbed of a #6 spot by The Ring P4P.
The guys who are supposed to be the noble saviors of boxing, the Robin Hood of boxing, the Justice League/Avengers of boxing, the Transnational Boxing Rankings have an even worse list than The Ring. Having Kovalev right there at #10 as well, but this one has Juan Francisco Estrada in front of Kovalev because Estrada had to go through the killer lineup of Richie Mepranum, Giovanni Segura, and Joebert Alvarez; which of course, ****s all over beating the old journeyman Bernard Hopkins and the C fighter Jean Pascal. Then they have Timothy Bradley as high as #4, because of course a Draw and a Loss to Chaves and Pacquiao put you up as a top 5 P4P fighter. SMFH.

Not all P4p rankings go by 2 most recent fights else Floyd wouldn't be near the top

No? Nothing about Rigo to add? Not sure why he's anywhere near the Top 10 considering he hasn't beaten anyone of note since 2013.
As far as I see it only 5 names deserve to be up there indefinitely. Floyd, PAC, Roman, & the 2 Europeans. Roman needs to beat Estrada or Inoue soon though. Estrada would fit in at 8/9 P4P.
And lmfao at calling Hopkins an old journey & Pascal C-level. Get ur head outta ur biased ass.

Sergey's wins over Pascal and Hopkins should have him cruising past GGG, Froch, Marquez, Bradley and Rigondeaux, easily.
Marquez is an awesome fighter and all but Pacquiao was 3 years ago and since then he lost to Bradley and beat Alvarado ffs. Not impressive.
GGG is murdering everyone he faces but none of the names on his hit list are signature wins the likes of Hopkins and Pascal.
Rigondeaux has yet to face another decent name since Donaire.
Bradley lost to Pacquiao recently and had a draw with Chaves, easily surpassed by Sergey's recent accomplishments.
Hell, you can even argue that Roman's single significant victory over Akira Yaegashi doesn't even trump Kovalev's two stellar victories over proven warriors recently. Last great win Roman had prior to Yaegashi was against an unknown (at the time) Estrada and that was 3 years ago...
Damn, I see Terrence Crawford's recent accomplishments also go unnoticed. Sergey and T Bud could easily replace 2 names on that list.
I think people just think GGG is better. Not as accomplished, by resume not top 10 p4p. Though not as bad as you make it sound, he beat 6 Ring top 10 contenders in 2.5 years. 2 were fringe,still that's a lot. Compare his resume to Kessler's before Ward, for example.
I don't disagree with him being a p4p fighter like i said. But why would they rank someone who has fought wayyyyy better opposition and DOMINATED them the same way GGG dominates the bums he fights, below GGG. That's what makes no sense.
How can you even make the argument ggg is better than kovalev (even IF he is) when he hasn't fought and dominated the type of opposition kovalev has fought and dominated?
