    I don't know about Kovalev being that high on the list. He's clearly the top light heavyweight, but his resume isn't that deep. He's only been fighting top guys for the past few years. If he beats Ward, he's pretty much #1 if not #2.

    And I believe when 2 fighters on opposite sides of the weight spectrum go head to head for a P4P spot and it's close, the heavier guy should beat the smaller guy for the spot. A heavier fighter is always more impressive from my point of view.
    How? Look at the HW division ( the Max ) they are clumsy on drugs and are drama queens -- the lineal title is being contested in a court of law.

      Wth are you talking about? The HW division hasn't been this wide open in like 12 years. The divison actually has life now.

      But the reason being is because historically speaking, the HW's have been the kings of boxing, even in the Klitchko era, he was super popular in Germany.

      Take into account the power of a heavier fighter as opposed to a lighter fighter. Fighters in heavier divisions are more at risk of taking damage from an opponents power. That makes it more impressive.

      That's why I think when comparing 2 fighters from opposite sides of weight for a P4P spot, when legacy and resume are equal, the heavier fighter should get the spot.

        Who said the HW division has not been the premier division historically speaking? Im addressing the comment you made saying that the heavier fighter should be ahead of the lighter fighter ; thats being biased. The answer you provided is pitiful ( Power?) what about the level of skill? there is no way that the HW division is more skilled that the welterweights...like I said they are usually clumsy, fat and drug cheats...why should they get the nod simply because they can hit harder? as oppose to facing a more skilled opponent who happens to be lighter?

              What if Ward beats Kovalev? I'm sure you'll have Ward #1 too.

                  Golovkins on your list and has 0 good wins by your standards. Barrera is on the same level as anyone on Lil G's resume.
