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

you know whats up

[aboutfkntime]

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?

no it has not

and P4P has not been " a thing " for most of "the history of boxing"

P4P is about..... who would win, if all things were equal (weight)

it mostly comes down to style/skills

ATG comes down to resume, not P4P..... big diff there

you absolutely can rate a rookie, which I did with Lomachenko 2-3 years ago

if it only comes down to resume', then why the fk should Golovkin be ranked?

[aboutfkntime]

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.

I absolutely agree

I would have Golovkin on the list, but would rate Spence above him and possibly Inoue

[aboutfkntime]

this sillyness happens every time they update their P4P list

every month lol

some of you guys need to learn what P4P is, before you throw the writer under a bus

[alexnation]

Lmao how is Spence even in the conversation here? the guy hasn't proven himself yet. Yes, he looks pretty good and promising but he hasn't done **** to be in top 10

[pillowfists98]

Definitely disagree with Garcia being above Canelo and Usyk.

Who did James Toney beat??

Not one single good name on his record.

if we wanted advice from a shlt-stain.....

..... it would not be from a shlt-stain who is ****** enough to think that Shannon Briggs is the greatest heavyweight of all time

So no one?

You admit Toney doesn't have a single significant win on his record?

[Motofan]

I think all the names are probably there. The order is up for debate.
