Sergey Kovalev is now in The Ring top ten P4P

P4P isnt about best most recent win. Otherwise Klitchko, Floyd, and Pacquaio wouldnt even be on the list either. P4P is about best recent body of work.
Kovalevs recent wins are good but hes really just started. If he stays undefeated for the rest of the year he definitely deserves to be top 5. People are really overrating Pascal now too btw, the guy was almost knocked out by Bute in the last round.Comment

Danny Garcia's resume is much more accomplished than GGG's as of this point.
You don't get ranked based on others not wanting to fight you just on the quality of who you beat and when.
If Danny's "win" against Herrera is the reason you think he doesn't belong, OK, I can accept that.Comment

GGG is high for hype and considering the fact that P4P he could beat a lot of guys, not for competition.
I think we forget that these lists aren't JUST "what have you don't for me lately". Competition should INFLUENCE the rankings, however these really began as opinions on who would beat who based on skills and ability regardless of weight. Not just "he beat a top 5 guy lately and the other guy didn't recently".
I personally feel Golovkin may have more skills to beat Kovalev regardless of weight. However GGG hasn't faced the competition of Kovalev or been tested on a high level. I think that keeps them close. It's just a matter of what you hold in higher regard for a P4P list; head 2 head regardless of weight or who they've faced lately.Comment

I would have Kovalev ranked higher at #6, above GGG, Froch, Bradley and Marquez.
I think Crawford should be on the list.
My P4P would be something like this:
1. Floyd Mayweather
2. Wladimir Klitschko
3. Manny Pacquiao
4. Roman Gonzalez
5. Guillermo Rigondeaux
6. Sergey Kovalev
7. Gennady Golovkin
8. Carl Froch
9. Terence Crawford
10. Tim Bradley or Juan Manuel MarquezComment
