Are P4P lists biggest waste of time?

1. Lets start with the obvious,there is no subjective way of determining who should be on the list. Every other person has their own special sauce way of ranking people.
2. Everyone is biased and not necessarily for racial, nationalistic or religious reasons . Different people put different value on different sets of skillsets and natural abilities.
3. Most people don't change their minds when presented with evidence. So even if we did have a reliable and objective way of knowing who should be on that P4P list people who don't like it because it doesn't have their favorite fighers would just say it's a bull**** method.

Yes it's just fantasy. It's not reality. If they were all the same size bla bla bla what size? MW? LW? Who decides? Wouldn't a fast FWs speed & reflexes diminish if we speculated about him as a HW or a MW? This is just nature. Little guys are more nimble and elusive.. They wouldn't necessarily be the same fighter as a MW anyway as that size would limit those attributes they had at FW. A fighter bases his style & abilities around his stature & natural gifts. Who says they could do the same if they were bigger or smaller? It's all conjecture & what ifs.. Deal in facts not flaky concepts.

Yes they r subjective as F. It's very hard to find a rational boxing fan. I consider myself a realist on most things in life ie politics & sports BUT no matter how real I think I keep it or no matter how many agree with me, they'll always be 1. So yeah I could have my p4p list, u could, the smartest boxing writer, best trainer, best current boxer, best former boxer etc and they could all be different. Don't make it wrong just different perspectives. I like thick women, some guys don't.

It's pure BS indeed.
