Golovkin over Crawford is my only problem with this list. Otherwise I love it.

1.WARD
Had the heart and will to move up and challenge himself against a killer!!

2. CANELO
Hate it or love it but he has fought major household names and held his own. Khan doesn't count though.Lmao!!

3. CRAWFORD
Gamboa, Postol,Burns and Lundy were beaten too easily. His body of work is well worth the ranking.

4. LOMENCHENKO
The long layoff of Walter's made me rank him 4 instead of 3. Also he's missing 1 more fight against a name fighter.

5. KOVALEV
Beat a 50 year old B Hop who is the biggest name on his winning resume.

6. GONZALEZ
Just don't really know how good his opponents are. Bet most of you don't either!!

7.GGG
As soon as he beats someone his size that has a punch then I can rank him higher.H3s been very carefully matched!

8. Rigorous
As soon as they start promoting him right then he moves up.

9. GARCIA
He has beaten a few champs and hasn't loss.

10.Wilder

He keeps winning while fighting with a broken hand and a broken arm. Just the thought puts him on the back end of the list.

Of Course SOG WARD, the funny thing is everyone that disagrees with the UNANIMOUS victory says it was close, even with a kd. Doesnt that mean Ward is better than you guys want to admit, he was Champion at 168, stepped up and fought a guy who was considered one of the best in boxing KO'ing every one and TOOK ALL HIS BELTS...Ward is the new Mayweather on Boxingscene. Cong**** Champ P4P SOG ANDRE WARD....its the Roc.

[Drew Bundini Br]

Correction. Rigo.

[Bronx2245]

Maybe, but if you only have 7 total pro fights and lost to salido... You don't deserve to be nowhere near the p4p rankings. Just my opinion.

I know he lacks experience, but just going off the eye test, I think Loma is a better boxer than Ward, Kovalev, and the 2016 version of Manny Pacquiao!

[soul_survivor]

what a BS list by BS...how is Rigo still on there? Why is Ward on there?

[Bronx2245]

big drama show??? Ggg should be higher? Lol figures.. Oh yeah he beat macklin and Rubio and brook... He should be higher... Lol no he shouldn't even be in top 10 with that resume. Ggg is good don't get me wrong but you are only as good as your resume, not potential. His resume lacks

I know that GGG's resume is weak, but again, going off the eye test of what I saw in 2016, GGG is a better boxer than Ward, Kovalev, and Pacquiao. Again, just based off 2016, GGG, Loma, and Crawford, are P4P Top 5!

[Edward90]

So Frampton refuses to fight Rigo and then leapfrogs him in P4P rankings? That doesn't make any sense...

People will still cry about Ward's win. Whatever. #1 or 2 is fine. Also, that Barrera win looks more impressive now.

I think the four-divisions is a bit overblown. He has only changed 10 pounds since he started fighting. It's impressive, but it's not as impressive as it sounds.

I'm surprised Crawford isn't getting more love. He is the clear best at 140 and taking over the division in dominant fashion. He will continue that in 2017. Hopefully, he can get Broner and unify belts if he doesn't move up to 147.

I don't like the use of the "eye test" to be the heart of determining how good someone is in P4P. I like GGG, but his resume needs to get better. In March, he can show that he's the real deal. I'm looking forward to it.

Small problem with Kov is that he seems so much bigger than his opponents. This is largely due to the fact that there is such a large gap between Cruiserweight and LHW. He has dominated most of his opponents, but he has also been significantly bigger than them. This same criticism foes to Canelo as well, who can weight drain very well. That should factor in to what it means to be P4P.

I wish they updated this list more frequently.

[HandsofIron]

Interesting, gonna have to update mine too. I'll throw Ward a bone even though I think Crawford and Bradley are way better boxers than him and with a better resume (He lost to Kov). Rigo needs to be taken off the list, Pac should be lower and Loma and GGG should be higher on the list.

[j0zef]

Crawford is too high, Frampton is too low, and Rigo shouldn't be on the list. Otherwise pretty decent.
