A P4P Record

[soul_survivor]

This list is dumb as ****. If you're gonna be a cheerleader, don't try to make it sound objective.

In what way?

[soul_survivor]

1) Ward
1B) Kovalev
3) Gonzalez
4) Crawford
5) M. Garcia
6) Spence
7) Rigondeaux
8) Pacquiao
9) Lomachenko
10) Alvarez

What criteria have you used for this?

[therealpugilist]

Ok, so its a new year, a new dawn etc so I want everyone who wants to, to post their top 10 p4p lists on here and we can thus keep a record of how people are ranking fighters and how those rankings change through the course of the year (so obviously post updated lists when changes are reuqired or you feel are necessary).

This is not necessarily a thread to discuss the validity of each list but rather how thesel ists are put together and what you hold to be your criteria. And ofc a record of how it will change over the course of the year (if at all)

Mine is as thus:

1. Sergey Kovalev
2. Roman Gonzalez
3. Gennady Golovkin
4. Saul Alvarez
5. Vasyl Lomachenko
6. Terence Crawford
7. Manny Pacquiao
8. Naoya Inoue
9. Shinsuke Yamanaka
10. Juan Francisco Estrada

too hard to rank em bro

they change so often

Ward
Chocolatito
Kovalev
Loma
Yamanaka
Crawford
Danny Garcia
Canelo
Pacquaio
Stevenson


INoue, GGG and Estrada are one break through win or 2 from replacing 2 of these guys


I weigh heavily on resume, level of opposition and success in championship fights. Also I give a lil extra love to fighters who won titles in multiple divisions


the eye test is important, but any good fighter looks good until they face top opposition

Good post above. Post your lists AND how you come to them. Don't worry were not here to nitpick.

And remember to update when necessary.

Kovalev at ****ing number one bro, are you ****ing serious??

[Canelo and GGG]

Many ppl have Kovalev or Ward as #1 or close to top ,just look around

Most people have GONZALEZ at number one. There is absolutely no rationale for putting Kovalev at number. 50 year old Hopkins, past prime Pascal and a ****ty perfomance against Ward with one division championship. Stop with the sour g****s, no one in their right mind would put Kovalev at number one.

But why not?

I assume you are really pissed off at ward not being number one but I never had ward on my p4p list before fighting kovalev. If he had beaten kovalev he would have slotted straight into my p4p list. If he had won in dominant fashion top 5 at least.

I said all this before the fight and predicted ward to win.

What unfolded we all know. So I won't repeat it. On the back of that ward does not deserve to find a place back on the list.

[SplitSecond]

Gonzalez
Ward
Kovalev
Golovkin
Pacquiao
Crawford
Lomachenko
Saul Alvarez
Danny Garcia
Keith Thurman


After the top five it gets tough.
