I think cracking the P4P list has less to do with talent and more to do with acheivements. He won the Title he holds from ... Matthew Hatton. That is about the saddest way to win a title. All the hate he gets is fromthe red carpet Sulemain is rolling out for his boxing career.
James Kirkland would give him a run for his money.
I think the kid has not had adversity, and he has never had to box on the back foot. Hell, Gomez was ahead at the time he got stopped in the 6th round. If you can't put rounds in the bank against him, you might want to start thinking about how he is going to adjust against a slick(er) boxer.
Canelo would beat Cotto now. I think Cotto is severly overrated at this point. He's still riding on past acheivement.. He will lose to Trout

- and I quote from some random guy on the internet
“P4P” is a synonym for favourite. If it had any relevance we would not have 17 divisions soon to be 18 and 300 belts. How is it possible to even include two 6‘4 inch 250 pounders on this list? Not a big fan of the phrase “p4p” and you will not see me use it other then to reply once in awhile concerning its use.
It’s been completely bastardized over history to the point of almost being meaningless. Catchy tag I suppose and quicker to say then “my favourites are” or “I think the best are” but its historical significance is long gone.
The only thing it means in my mind, is if you had a special machine, similar to the one the that Rick Moranis had in Honey I Shrunk the kids, zapp everyone down, or up to the same size, and bingo, who wins, that all P4P means. Its an "Idea" is all......
Just for the record, I think if EVERYONE was the same size, let say 147, for example, I think Prime Mayweather beats pretty much all of them with potentially the exception of Martinez and Ward
I think Sergio would make Canelo squirm
Agreed, you can only really fault some of Alvarez' opponents..But the dude is a beast who will bomb out most guys at 154 when asked to do so. I don't get the hate for this kid. Well, I guess I do if it's opponent related but I doubt we'll have to wait too long to see Canelo in there against the very best. (and kicking arse I might add)
How the hell can you NOT have PBF as #1 p4p? Pac is coming off a loss, and Ward and Martinez (as good as they are) have a long way to go before they are in the same ball park.
I know someone will respond to this by asking "What you count Pac/Bradley as a loss for Pac?" Well, if you want to play that game, Pac lost to JMM the fight before, so it evens out.
