Thurman is too high

replace him with Sorungvisai

I think that Rigondeaux is listed too high and I don't think Kovalev should be on there. If back-to-back losses including a stoppage are enough to oust Gonzalez from the list then the same should go for him.

Kovalev got stopped by the #1 fighter in the world. And he was he competitive in both fights. Gonzalez got absolutely washed the second time around. Against a non p4p fighter.

I don't know. I'm not a hardcore GGG fan or Canelo fan but they should be above Lomachenko they have more pro fights with Loma having a 9-1 record it just looks strange with other guys having 3 and 4 times as many fights being listed below him. That's just me I guess??

I agree. Errol & Loma are still relatively untested. Clearly they pass the eye ball test in terms of talent & potential but Loma lost to Salido.

Yeah I mean Walters and Russel are decent victories I guess and the way he did it counts too, but the rest of that list is just bums and one of those bums actually beat him. So in just 10 fights he already lost to a bum.

Also he never tried to avenge the loss either so that's another reason I feel like this guy is just ranked too high.

Tried to duck Rigo too but Rigo called his bluff on the weight thing and they still tried to wriggle out of it but Rigo kept calling their bluffs until they had no choice but to accept.

He is talented, he is skilled, and he deserves to be in the p4p list I guess, but no way should he be in the top 5.

Nice to see that Usyk and Charlo got some votes even though they didn't make the top 10. It shows that they are making names for themselves and people are taking them seriously. They must just keep up the good work.

Hoping the other twin will get in there after he schools and KOs Lubin. Fighting mandatory fights against Jackson, Hatley, and Lubin in a row is no small feat. Those guys don't get mentioned a lot but they are really good boxers.

I think once he takes care of Lubin he gets mentioned in the convo, and when he unifies with Hurd,Lara, or Cotto he breaks into the top 10.

Usyk, mayn too bad he is in a 'shady' division. If he was a Heavyweight his chances of getting into that top 10 would be higher, but then again his chances of getting KTFO would also increase. Know what, maybe if he was a Light Heavy it would be better. Usyk vs Kovalev, Ward, Stevenson, Badou Jack, Barrera, etc etc.

Those would all be good potential fights. And there's these up and comers like Joshua Buatsi, Beterbiev, Bivol, and Anthony Yarde.

Really stacked division now and in the not so far future.

He did try to fight Salido again. He offered him the fight for April, August and December this year. The first two times he and his manager admitted they weere happy with the figures but decided not to fight and Rigo accepted the fight (for December) first.

Rigondeaux also admitted that he turned the fight down last summer. Not sure they tried to "wriggle out of it" this year either. Some evidence would be nice. Seemed they didn't have time to make it in August (Rigo fought mid-june) and the deal was wrapped up pretty quickly for the December date.

Why does Canelo get so much credit for going the distance with GGG? Jacobs did much better against GGG & had a legitimate reason he won the fight! Before the GGG fight, Canelo's last five opponents where Chavez Jr(D-level), Liam Smith(D-level), Khan(C-B level @ 147), Cotto (C-B level), Kirkland(C-level)! That doesn't justify a top four rankings. Also, why is Kovalev still on the list after loosing back to back? Mikey Garcia is ranked to high after beating two bums at 135 & beating a mediocrity Broner! Thurman should be a few spots higher. Why isn't the fighter who beat Roman Gonzales TWICE not on the list? That shows that most p4p list are a popularity contest. Rigo should be higher but every fighter at his weight & 126(Dela Cruz, Frampton, Selby, Russell Jr and Mares all afraid to fight Rigo. Loma is really good & I'm a big fan of his but he only has 10 fights! I think eventually he will take over the number one spot but it will be hard to remove Terrence from the top spot.!

GGG just beat Canelo and got robbed with a DRAW, and you have Canelo 2 and GGG 9

You analyzed Canelo's last 5, but what was Crawford's last 5? :bukkake:
