If you were not influenced by existing rankings; What would your Top 10 P4P be?

[-Kev-]

If you were not reading into The Ring, Boxingscene, TBRB, ESPN or any P4P rankings and you were asked to do your own P4P list based on your opinions and not some one else' or not what the majority of people think, and you do not care about fitting into any certain group...what would your P4P ranking look like today?

Here is mine.

1. Sergey Kovalev
2. Andre Ward
3. Canelo Alvarez
4. Terrence Crawford
5. James DeGale
6. Erislandy Lara
7. Manny Pacquiao
8. Gullermo Rigondeaux
9. Vasyl Lomachenko
10. Adonis Stevenson

They say it's the eye test, but then when you think about it, what makes Bradley better than Thurman? Or, how does GGG look better than Ward? In what way does Crawford look better than Canelo? It's the eye test, but then it's not the eye test. It feels more like the KO test. You KO lower opposition, you are better than a guy who may have struggled to get a close win over better opposition than you are knocking out. So the logic behind top websites P4P lists is flawed badly. It's pretty much who can rack up more KO's, who keep winning by KO's, that's the vibe I get from websites and most fans lists. It's not about who you have beaten. It's how you're beating your opponents, regardless of level of difficulty.

10. Adonis Stevenson

Ok, the ones I have highlighted are the ones I want you to explain. What is your criteria? Wins? Losses? Resume? Potential h2h ability? And how all that correlates to how you have built your list.

Mine would be:

1. Kovalev
2. Golovkin
3. Bradley
4. Pacquiao
5. Stevenson
6. Gonzalez
7. Fury
8. Canelo
9. Wlad
10. Rigo

The order can be changed but Wlad has dropped from 1 in my book to 9 as he was woeful last time out and on that basis, in terms of p4p, I can't see him beating the top 8 guys in boxing.

Rigo is hanging on by a thread, TC could easily have made it in. I think guys like Brook, Khan, Frampton, Quigg, resurgent Donaire are a win or 2 away from top 10. Add DG to that too.
