I Hate Pound for Pound rankings

[piye]

P4P is the most pointless subjective bullshit ever, how does it work? I mean is it who would win head 2 head if they were the same size? or is it who is the most skilled? who has the best achievements? I hate to use these two as an example but Floyd and Pac are now the same "Size" as both last fought at 147, but Floyd is favorite to win if they fight so how can Pac be P4P 1? Who remembers when Mijares was on the P4P list he got destroyed by Vic Darchiniyan they were both the same size and a consensus agreed nonsensical rating was proven wrong.

Ricky Hatton was P4P when he couldn't even move up one weight and remain effective so why was he on the list ahead of day Wlad? who despite being a Heavyweight and being boring is blatantly a more skilled boxer than Hatton ever was. is this just because of the notion that Heavies can't be P4P? I mean I just wish that the whole bullshit P4P obsession in boxing would fuck off and die.

dont think i ever took much notice of p4p lists to be honest

I was under the impression that it was boxings version of the All-Star game. Not exactly like, but in the spirit of a Pro Bowl.

They're good for generating debate and discussion, but that's about it. Like Piye says, they're far too subjective to really have any credibility and there is no rigid definition of what constitutes a P4P fighter or why one is ranked above another. At this point they seem to be little more than a marketing/promotional tool for fighters.

There is no best explaination. Pac and Roach also think it's bullshit.

I like them it is just the way people tend to make their list is a bit off....Pretty much most true fans, writers etc who actually KNOW WHATY THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND CAN NREFRAIN FROM BEING FANBOYS AND NUTHUGGERS...ACCEPT IF THIER FAVORITE IS NOT ELIGABLE FOR THE LIST AND CAN GET THROUGH THEIR HEADS THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER FIGHTER OUT THERE BETTER THEN THEY ARE AND NOT ACT AS IF IT IS PERSONAL AND BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DECIDES A FIGHTER IS BETTER THEN THEIR FAVORITE IT IS NOT A FUCKING CONSPIRICY OR PERSONAL INSULT AT THEM....The ratings should pretty much be the same on everyones list with slight exceptions at the bottom of the list and a few place differences..EG on fighters ranks fighyter a at 1st another ranks them 3rd but both are ranked on each list with in a few spots of each other..

Or maybe guys around 9 or 10 may be at 11 or 12 and the 11 or 12th guy is at 9 or 10...

BUT it seems that toom many people throw out these crazy figures and have some of the stupidest fucking reasoning for the rankings....

Keep it according to last performance

Last 5 fighters faced as in quality of the opponent.. if they bare in a division where it is weak but they are a good fighter sorry but fact is it should be based on performance not on what might be...

List it according to activity...Sorry but if a fighter beats the #2 ranked guy then fights no one for 18 months but another guy beats the #3, #4, and #5 guy during that time...The guy who beat the #2 guy does not deserve the be rated higher then the guy who beat #3 #4 #5...can not rest on past performances until the career is over...If that was the case...SRR would have been ranked #1 WW going until his death makes about as much sense....

and a few other things similar...but like I said these guys get so crazy with why amd mhow they rank fighters it makes the whole thing just sickning at times
