Made him look ordinary during his extraordinary run being a champion at three different weight classes.
1. Ward
2. Rigo
3. Crawford
4. Canelo
5. GGG
6. Thurman
7. Spence
8. Loma

Originally posted by New England View Postwrong. p4p lists are not merely an evaluation of resume. p4p lists are an evaluation of a fighter's immediately ability when you handicap for size.
resumes go back to the beginning of a fighter's career, and placing equal weight on those wins early in his career is wrong when you're trying to find out what a fighter has to offer contemporarily and if you handicap for size.
for instance, carl froch has a better resume than almost any active fighter in the world right now.
if he came back he'd be nowhere near the pound for pound list. why? because you're not just looking at the body of work over the course of a fighter's career. you're asking, what has he done lately to give me an idea of how good he is, and how well would he do against fighter X if they were the same size.
what's most important in a p4p list is ability, and you evaluate that based on recent performances much more than you do based on older ones. you can go back several years for some fighters if they have not improved or lost a step, but that's rarified air and really only relevant for the greatest of the great who stay on top for a long time; floyd, pacquiao, hopkins, etc.
of course you're a child who thinks i'm racist because i'm critical of floyd mayweather, so i don't expect you to have a damn thing to say that's worth my time in regard to evaluating a fighter in a historic context, or a contemporary pound for pound one.
class dismissed.
