Not always about resume. It's mainly based on skills.

Skills? Skills are as subjective as you can get. It's about quality of opposition. Always has been throughout the history of boxing. Only these new school internet casuals care about "0" and "Undefeated." That's what killed boxing - these undefeated guys who never fight anyone. Other than Floyd (who really lost to Castillo, so he shouldn't be undefeated) which undefeated boxer had ever really fought elite opponents for a substantial period of time? I'll wait... This is new school garbage.

Crawford hasn't fought even ONE ELITE OPPONENT! How tf could he possibly be number 1?

It's definitely the skills, or Crawford wouldn't be #1!

Loma should be top of the list, the size difference between him and Linares was more obvious than Crawford against Horn. Plus Horn is nowhere near the ability level of Linares.
If Usyk can go up to HW and beat someone of the caliber of Whyte, he'd go straight to the top of the list. Beating Bellew at CW, while it would be a very good win over someone who's fought at HW wouldn't be enough to do it.
I've always liked GGG (and I still think he beat Canelo both times, but could agree with a draw on 2nd fight), but he's definitely on the way down and is possibly the one fighter who should no longer be on this list.

My god that is a bad p4p list.

And these guys are boxing writers?

Lomo got beat already with only 10 fights. Although very skilled, his body of work doesn't warrant him ahead of CRAWFORD,CANELO,GGG or even SPENCE.

Crawford at number 1, and I stopped reading after that. Crawford's resume is a blown up featherweight who has been exposed as mediocre with a glass jaw, Postol, and Jeff Horn (who robbed Pacquiao in his home country)...

Wow, some resume for a number 1 pound for pound fighter. Boxing is dead.

I feel the same way. Bum beating with an "0" seems to supersede a quality resume on these sad p4p lists. You use to have to have wins over quality opponents. Crawford has 0 quality wins. GGG set the standard for bum beaters sitting too high on p4p lists.

Crawford is number 1!?!?! And Mikey Garcia is over Canelo!!! This list is too comical!! Funniest list I've seen in a while!!
