Comments Thread For: Who Is The Number One "Pound For Pound" Boxer Now?

[boxingitis]

Mikey Garcia > Loma

Also Loma has a LOSS to a guy with like 15 losses.

Marquez>Mickey Garcia

Do compare things boxers did in the past. We are talking about the present moment, Active fighters. Mikey just had two fights vs nobodies. When he fights top level competition and wins he will be at the top. If we compare things boxers did in the past, Cotto> Mikey Garcia in the current pound for pound list.

Not for long. The rematch between Ward and Kovalov is almost done for June 17th at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Vegas, Nv. Technical Boxers usually have an easier time in the rematch. If Ward wins again that will be BACK-TO-BACK wins against a P4P Top 5. While GGG just beat a guy probably not even in the P4P top 20???

majority of boxing press had Kov winning fight ....Ward gonna have to beat Kov convincingly to get cred .

[marikudo]

Wow! Because he beat Chocolatito who by some boxing fans considered to be p4p, is now p4p ? you are way out there, the guy lost fight already... geeez its GGG!

Who did GGG beat? Jacobs, who is not even in the P4P list. Who beat Chocolatito the ex-P4P king? Rungvisai the new king of boxing.

Lomachenko was headbutted multiple times in each round and hit with 30+ low blows against Salido, that fight was very much an anomaly. It was also his 2nd ever pro fight. Can't base other fights on a fight that featured the most cheating I can ever recall without the ref doing anything.

There is a reason Salido dodged that rematch.

yep, who cares what happened back then, under that particular set of circumstances

if ALL things were equal (BOTH fighters naturally the same size), and they fought now..... who would win

also, not meaning Loma/Salido..... but losing to one particular fighter because of style, does not remove you from the list if you likely clean out the rest..... it is across the board, not strictly head-to-head

and if you thought Kovalev beat Ward? Not an uncommon assessment.

P4P is personal assessment, and fantasy. Therefore official decisions shouldn't play a big role, as the referees assessment isn't necessarily your own..

GREAT point !

I still got chocolatito up there, and Kovalev

[BillyBoxing]

any list without Ward #1 is not a respectable list. period.

quality of opponents matter.

Kovalev top five p4p, feared, ducked, undefeated, prime. a guy even Mayweather advised Ward to stay away from.

Jacobs. 2nd best at 160 but that's not saying too much since that division is not deep. nowhere near a p4p list.

Rungvisai. a guy with a padded record who nobody knows a damn thing about.

Ward p4p best no matter how you slice it.

Yes and Ward has fought one decent fighter in 5 years, a very decent one tough.
And most people thought he lost.

That what you can call a robbery, when you won on cards BUT most people (see polls) thought you lost, people and writers from your fckin own country.

Ward doesn't deserve to be P4P number one.

That thai guy was a solid dude, choco fighting at superfly is like Ward fighting at 200.

Let's see how can Ward manage a lefty cruiser like Glowacky.

Choco has been beating top dudes in 4 divisions over the last years while Ward was drinking sodas in Okland and fighting the Brand of the world.

Not bad.

I'm at

1) Ward
2) Rigondeaux
3) Kovalev
4) Gonzales
5) Crawford
6) GGG
7) Lomachenko
8) Canelo
9) Pac
10) M. Garcia

I put Loma ahead of Garcia but don't think Loma beats Garcia. And after last Saturday I think ZERO ppl think GGG would beat Ward. And his team also knew it.

I try to picture them fighting each other at their best. Man Ward vs. Rig. would be a TERRIBLY boring fight though! out of top 5 GGG probably would beat Gonzales???

I think Crawford would beat GGG if same size and probably make him look ******.

good list !!

but there are millimeters in it

I wouldn't bet a dollar on your list, or mine

#P4Pftw

maybe selling Loma a little short ?

[aboutfkntime]

Wow! Because he is you favorite fighter does not mean his number 1. Who beat the number 1 P4P in most lists? Rungvisai!!! He should be P4P number 1 right now.

then Ward should be #2, and Jacobs #3

[aboutfkntime]

Until somebody beats Pacquiao...

how quickly they forget

same with rigo

[BillyBoxing]

Lomachencho for me. Already a great resume for so few fights.

Walters and Russel Jr is not worst than Kesller and Froch.

And he was more awesome beating them.

The true P4P will be the winner of Loma vs Mickey.

They are above TC P4P, even if TC might beat them but mainly because he's bigger than them.

Walters is a bigger threat than Postol IMO, and Lomo just flew over the arena.

Mickey and Lomo are the two most impressive fighter IMO.
