Its pretty pointless really. Floyd has been most peoples P4P#1 for a long time. But has what he has done been any more impressive then either of the Klits who have beaten everyone in their divs while floyd hasnt really fought the best.
How about going 17 years without a loss? How about being a world champion since 1998 and fighting world class opposition ever since? Not impressive enough for you?Quote:

There's nothing wrong with the concept. It's the bias and ignorance of those casting their p4p opinions that fucks with the concept.
It makes me shake my head to see guys on here claiming that some old timer who they've never seen fight is one of the greatest of all time. A guy like Benny Leonard, who lost a fuck load of fights in his prime and got KO'd half a dozen times.
P4P is not real but i feel we need it.
I think if you ask what makes a floyd mayweather or anderson silva a p4p of their respected sports then you would get alot of varied positive answers.
Its not a real thing but its a great sign of respect to give soneone that tag who is so much better than everyone else.
