Someone named something like sim_shandi sent me their P4P list to post , as they were having trouble loading the page

1: Carl Froch
2: Gennady Golovkin
3: Wladamir Klitschko
4: Sergey Kovalev
5: George Groves
6: Carl Frampton
7: Scott Quigg
8: Vasily Lomachenko
9: David Lemieux
10: Denis Lebedev

[BOXEO _]

Switch #1 and #2 and it's a solid list.

[Mexican_Puppet]

Estrada deservedly is on the list, no doubt about that.

Really he is the #1 flyweight. He schooled Brian Viloria, Giovani Segura, Milan Melindo and Richie Mepranum.

[-DSG-]

1. Mayweather

2. Klitschko

3. Ward

4. Gonzalez

5. Rigondeaux

6. Pacquiao

7. Froch

8. Kovalev

9. Golovkin

10. Garcia

Best list ive seen so far just take out froch and add Cotto to the end and it's perfect.

[Dle]

Why not 1:Chris Algerie 2. Rios 3. Provonikov 4. Sergio (you choose which one) 5. Bradley 6. Froch 7.....

Yeah this list was reasonable. I didn't have Ward/Froch on my list since they had not fought recently. Also, idk if I really think Cotto is top 10. I'd put Crawford in instead. *shrug*

A list Tim Lane and Amir Khan can get behind...

[Mr.Daddy]

Crawford is better than tenth.

Anyone see The Ring's updated P4P list?

http://ring tv.craveonline.com/ratings/pound-for-pound
1) Mayweather
2) Roman Gonzalez
3) Klitschko
4) Golovkin
5) Rigondeaux
6) Pacquiao
7) Froch
8) Kovalev
9) Crawford
10) Shinsuke Yamanaka

The last time I had seen their list Klitschko was #2 Pac #3. Shrug.

Gonzalez > Mayweather is beyond buggin.

No Wlad is also ridiculous.

lol basically little of this list I can agree with.

I get where you are coming from - but where is the time cut off? You can see that Ward is now off most P4P lists because of 18 months of inactivity. I make the argument that recent performances should carry more weight than performances from 2 years or more ago. So Mayweather has looked good in the last 2 years but not great when compared to previous years. He has still looked very very good though, good enough in fact to be 2nd on my list. But Gonzalez is carrying all before him and when Mayweather fans crap on about 48-0 they forget to look that Gonzalez is steaming along at 42-0. Regards the rest of my list I explained my reasoning in post #59. That's why I would not have Garcia on my list as regardless of how he looked 3 years ago he has had 2 lucky decisions by my books. But the time factor isn't everything. In an ideal world we would just go by performances but some divisions are just plain weak and some fighters are swerved like the plague to borrow Froch's turn of phrase.
