    Who do you consider the top 10 P4P right now?

    My list:

    1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    3. Wladimir Klitschko
    4. Sergey Kovalev
    5. Guillermo Rigondeaux
    6. Roman Gonzalez
    7. Gennady Golovkin
    8. Timothy Bradley
    9. Terence Crawford
    10. Andre Ward

    I had to put Ward back on it at least since he's active again. Just my opinion though, I could see if you wouldn't put him on it until he fights good opposition again.

    You do realize that pound for pound means how good I think they are for their weight right now, not a year or two ago. 1 Gonzalez 2 GGG 3 Kovalev 4 Mayweather 5 Rigo 6Wlad 7 Pacquiao 8 Walters 9 Canelo 10 Lara. Lomo, Santa Cruz, Crawford and Brook are close and Spence will be on my list just as soon as he steps up the opposition.

      My Top 10 would include the following guys, but in no order except for Mayweather and Gonzalez in the top two:

      Mayweather, Gonzalez, KillerKov, Crawford, Cotto, Inoue, Uchiyama, Garcia, GGG, Rigo

        I look at pound for pound as saying:

        All things being equal if all these fighters were the same weight at any given moment and competed head to head, these would rise above all.

        Crawford is just the goods and he'd beat most people if he fought at their weight. There are very few people I'd pick to beat him, hence he's top 10 in my books.

            on paper, inoue seems great... but is he as good as his resume looks?
            he skipped a weight division to pick off an over the hill 40y/o grandpa.
            would like to see him against the top guys at flyweight first..

              You could very well be right about Crawford. He is young and he has never lost and he is looking very good so he may be at or near the top of my list some day. I just need to see more. I can only answer the question honestly and honestly Crawford came up just short for me right now. I agree that pound for pound means how different fighters would do against each other if their best fighting weight was the same.

                ur #4 5 6 7 can go..
                as for walters, he seems more dependent on his power and size than actual skill... so if he loses his power at 130, then it kinda suggests his power good at a p4p level.. should see more of him..
                10 lara, more of a marathon runner..
                lomo hasnt done enough to prove he can deal with another salido, so he shouldnt be on it either.
                santa cruz... ehhhhh, he is a 3 divisional champ... but i dunno, is he good enough at this point? feather fisted and stylistically looks limited... we'll see how he deals with something like GRJ or loma..
                crawford definitely up there though.

                  2. Sergey Kovalev
                  3. Wladimir Klitschko
                  4. Rigo
                  5. Lomachenko
                  6. Manny Pacquiao (way past his best now, 2009 Pac was #1 P4P)
                  7. Andre Ward (a win over Kovalev @ 175 puts him #1 P4P in my books, he needs to start fighting better opposition if he wants to be ranked higher)
                  8. Nicholas Walters
                  9. GGG (needs to step his resume up, may have the talent but hasn't proven it)
                  10. Timothy Bradley

                    Mayweather may be past it but name a fight he wouldn't be the favourite in @ 147.

                    Rigo, has some great wins and looks the part, don't see how age falls into it. His chin is suspect though.

                    Loma, agreed hasn't proven enough yet but what he's done so far is very impressive imo.

                    Klitschko, eh? He's dominated the HW division for a decade now and IIRC said he's not retiring for years yet.

                    Garcia/Khan, yeah they don't belong on the P4P top 10 list, not because they aren't decent fighters there's just much more deserving names to go on there.
