I like that you're being specific. I'm assuming that for wilder to be #4 on the p4p list,he would have had to have beaten wlad,fury,and povetkin,and be the unified heavyweight champ right?

Exactly. And Joshua's loss to Wilder won't hurt Joshua's stock much because he is going to storm back and have other big wins.

[Scipio2009]

Ward
Canelo
GGG
Kovalev
Lomachenko
Crawford
Rigo
Gonzalez
Thurman
Brook


Interesting to note - unless I am mistaken - in spite of the fact that Al Haymon controls over 100 fighters he only has one of the 10 I listed under contract.

As many guys as he has signed he has very little of the top future talent.

Verdejo may get there and Klitschko would make this list ahead of Thurman if he doesn't retire and I don't believe he will.

Haymon's depth is largely in the fact that, in addition to name fighters, he's got nearly all of the top prospects in the sport with him (Spence Jr being the brightest of the lot).

Beyond that 2017 is a long ways away, in the grand scheme of things; easily 5-6 fights over that time frame.

Can Golovkin really avoid Andre Ward for six fights? Can Kovalev really not fight Stevenson, Beterbiev, Fonfara, Alvarez, Oothuizen, Edwin Rodriguez, Marcus Browne et al and Andre Ward and still be in that top conversation (the HBO deal looks to have screwed him, if folks are honest)? What will Rigondeaux look like as a 37 year old super bantamweight? Does Wladimir Klitscko in his 40s really make it past Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder/Alexander Povetkin and, possibly, Anthyony Joshua?

Gloating's a bit premature.

In no particular order some names I'd put in there.

Errol Spence
Amir Imam
Terrance Crawford
Anthony Joshua
Andre Ward
Keith Thurman
Gennedy Golovkin
Lomachenko
Rigondeux

Good shout with Imam. He's impressive just needs to tighten up his defense and polish up and he's a real threat with the power.

I'd like to see Imam in with Jose Benavidez, Thomas Dulorme, Ruslan Provodnikov, or maybe even Humberto Soto next.

I trained with Amir and honestly I don't think he truly has respected any of his opponents yet which is why his defense sometimes gets sloppy.

He's big for the weight but makes weight easy.

I thought his defense was pretty good his last fight against a real game opponent.

He was a much smaller fighter who relied on speed/technique most of his boxing life. But now that he has his grown man strength, I think it's made him more confident to stand with guys, which is why defense has maybe suffered.
