    It's a damn shame when boxing P4P fighter is a Midget or Anorexic fighter...thoughts?

    Any fighter that fights below 135 lbs or is below 5'6 ft does not need to be a P4P #1 just for the sake of Boxing public image.....thoughts?

      Boxers heights are exaggerated anyway and never listed truthfully. Ends up with lots of confusion. Often see fighters listed the same height but one is much taller. Or listed different and they're the same height. It's well known, for example, that Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is 5'6 but listed everywhere as 5'8.

            Well, he won't be number one forever. I think he definitely deserves to be for now. He's accomplished quite a lot and is so much fun to watch.

                The average American at this body weight is fat and can't even lift much weight.

                  The average American is also pretty fat and couldn't do 1 round in the ring. If you don't like em don't watch but don't deny their talents.
