ESPN top 25 P4P last 25 years

[Cinci Champ]

if its only about who is better andre ward should be way farther up on the list. i mean i get it its top 25 its subjective but i mean good grief talk about underrating one of our eras greatest fighters

That GGG inclusion was terrible. I would have preferred Froch as he beat everyone at SMW not called Andre Ward.

I agree with your take on Froch. Certainly more deserving than GGG.

[deathofaclown]

No Froch or did i miss that? He's more deserving than GGG, and i'm a GGG fan but he hasn't beaten any top fighters.

Good to see Calzaghe in there, i thought he would be ignored but he's actually higher than i thought he would be. A win over a prime undefeated Kessler and beating Hopkins are good achievements.

Erik Morales is way too low in that list.

From '93 to '03 Roy Jones Jr was one of the best fighters in every single one of those years. Although it was really in '94 when Roy became #2 P4P, held that spot for 2 years cause Pernell was #1. Then in 96 Roy finally got the #1 spot. But Roy was to 10 P4P from '93 to '03, that's 10 years of the 25 years this list covers, which makes sense. Pacquiao has been a top 10 P4P fighter 12 years of those 25 years, '03-'15 (13 years at the end of 2016). Mayweather has been in the top 10 P4P list for 16 years of those 25 years, '98-'07, '09-'15. So at least ESPN got the top 3 correct.

It was criminal of ESPN to leave out Froch in favor of some currently popular KO artists with limited resumes.

****ing travesty that Froch was left out.

No James Toney blows my mind because the years have to be 1990 - 2015 since 2016 hasn't completed.

His win over Michael Nunn is arguably the greatest win from 1990 - 2015.

Toney IMO deserves to be in over a lot of these names.

hes 16th...

Should JMM be ranked above Morales and Barrera? I think both were better than him but he does have the KO win over Pacquiao which is huge.

Ah! Good call. When I originally opened the link I didn't see #20 - #16
