If you have never even faced another p4p top 10 fighter how can you be p4p#1?

What if there aren't any P4P fighters in your weight division?

And I think people obsess too much over P4P. It's a mythical list and everyone has their own version of it.

What this guy said.

[GhostofDempsey]

P4P is a misused term. It is supposed to compare fighters across the board at the same mythical weight class. Honestly I don't see how Ward's style and skills would put him at the top of the list ahead of Gonzalez, Loma, Garcia, PAC, Crawford or Thurman. They would be too fast for him and his clinching, low output, and dirty tactics wouldn't work to his advantage the way it did with lumbering Euro-bots at 168/175 that he was thriving against.

He barely lost against Salido tho, he was hit low tho, it was just his 2nd fight tho, it was a split decision tho, who Mayweather fought in his second fight tho, the ref tho, lol tho lol

Everything in boxing is related to Mayweather lol, what if Mayweather fought Salido in his 2nd pro fight, Mayweather ducking GGG, Chocolate-tito vs Floyd if Chocolate-tito was an Heavyweight wtf!!! Lol

Loma most notable win is the rematch vs Salido that hasnt even happen yet

By beating the hell out of several boxers who aren't top 10 pound for pound but are close to that level like top 15 or top 20 pound for pound. There are a lot more than 10 different weight classes so not every weight class even has a top 10 PFP boxer in it. Who a boxer has defeated is resume. Pound for pound is your personal opinion of how hard you think a boxer is for his weight class right now. He doesn't have to have already defeated everybody already. You only have to think he can beat everybody. That is the way I understand pound for pound works. Apparently you think pound for pound is all about proven resume and not that boxer's current skill level.

[boliodogs]

In that case there should be no p4p list because only kovalev and ward are on the p4p list who faced each other. The other 8 fighters on the p4p list faced no one in the p4p list. LOL. Way to bury your own thread.

Good point and true. LOL.

Pretty simple question

Floyd never beat a p4p fighter to be on top of the list.

It be very difficult, one would have to accomplish something similar in meaning or equal if not greater in certain principles or standards that we use to compose our list: maybe a tremendous resume, cleaning out divisions, becoming lineal , setting a marker in the history books ( as Roman Gonzalez second man to win titles from 105-115, held the longest unbroken linage in the sport ) -- accomplish something great. Dominating is not enough imo, that is expected from outstanding fighters.

I think gary russel jr was ranked in the top ten when lomachenko beat him, actually i'm positive....

He wasn't in the top ten. He was considered by most, even in spite of his very sub par opposition, to be an elite prospect -- but he was never in or really even near the top 10 P4P.
