Comments Thread For: Why Atlas Leaving Golovkin Off His P4P List is Deeply Flawed

[ruedboy]

If Spence earns a place on Atlas' list, why not Gervonta Davis? Davis has loads of potential, has a title and has actually fought a top guy.
Teddy's always good for a laugh, but he's not as smart as he thinks he is, (or maybe he is, since we're talking about him) lol

Atlas' list

1. Vasyl Lomachenko
2. Terence Crawford
3. Andre Ward
4. Keith Thurman
5. Sergey Kovalev
6. Roman Gonzalez
7. Guillermo Rigondeaux
8. Canelo Alvarez
9. Manny Pacquiao
10. Errol Spence Jr.

Lomachenko a bit too high, same with Crawford. Ward and Thurman too high, Kovalev too low. Gonzalez too low. Rigo about right, woulnd't complain if he was higher. Spence and Canelo aren't top 10 p4p fighters.

Fury, and Golovkin are missing, and so is Bradley. Pacqiao is also too high.

how is pac too high?

would anyone from 140-147 actually beat him?

Atlas is an attention seeker. He was left off deliberately so Teddy would be in the spotlight.
Sometimes when he is the commentator at a fight I wished hd would just shut up for a while. His constant repetitive chatter is distracting.

I don't agree with the list, but Canelo has certainly faced tougher opposition that GGG. First off, Canelo faced Mayweather. The best boxer ever. 2nd he faced Lara, Mosley and Cotto. Who are all better than anyone GGG has ever fought. GGG should be on the list. Ward and Kovalev should be ranked higher. Pacquiao can and will best just about every Welterweight with a name. Spence hasn't fought anybody, but will get his day soon.

He lost to Mayweather and it wasn't even close. Lara gave him a good fight and Cotto was at the tail end of his career. Mosley and Cotto were both beaten by Manny a much smaller man. Proksa would have stood a very good chance of beating both Mosley and Cotto at this stage of their careers. You can add Stevens and Lemieux to the list of guys that would have action shot of beating Lara Cotto and Mosely. Canelo isnt impressive against guys he should be dominating.

Golovkin has no defense, he is right there to be hit. He also has no head movement and is a stationary object in front of you.

Talk to all the guys who have put him on the canvas, they'll say the same thing.

He certainly doesn' t have any subtle defensive skills that aren't as obvious to the untrained eye. The only person who had any defense is pernell whittiker. Everyone else, whose defense isn't as obvious as Pernell's, doesn't have any. Its simple.

OK so who put him on the canvas??

It's teddy opinion

Proksa would have stood a very good chance of beating both Mosley and Cotto at this stage of their careers.

What???

Proksa lost to Sergio Mora.

Who cares? Waste of time to write about someone's opinion. Yawn.

Exactly! The whole "pound-for-pound" bull**** is a waste of time and entirely a matter of opinion.

And who cares who Atlas ranks or doesn't anyway?!!

[Larry the boss]

why do people care about Atlas p4p list anyway?

[Larry the boss]

How little i understand? You sound like a guy that's never been in a fight in his life.

No fighter lets someone hit them you ******ed ****. Even featherfist punchers hurt.

Gololvkin always does the nodding head when he gets caught clean. You haven't seen many of his fights if you think that was some kind of sign.
