p4p, what is your definition?

[p4pking]

I hate to answer with my stupid name, but it doesn't actually mean much of anything to me. It's a rough way to rank guys that are generally seen as the best fighters in the sport regardless of weight class, nothing more. Obviously the entire mechanics of fighting are completely different when you're talking about a Heavyweight and a lightweight, to compare them "p4p" is retarded. Guys like Floyd and Manny are naturally small men and moved up mega weight classes consistently beating everyone who started out there, that makes it easy to put them at the top. It doesn't take into account the fact that they have changed and adapted in doing so, the advantages they gave up, whether they actually became any better essentially. Some fighters aren't successful in giving up size to their opponents, that doesn't mean they are lesser than those that are neccesarily. I really need a coffee, can't be bothered to decide whether that makes any sense to myself right now.

Present application judging by the masses on countless forums and media alike I'm stuck between this,

a substance that gives another substance flavor, altering the characteristics of the solute, causing it to become sweet, sour, tangy, etc.

and this,

something regarded with special favour or liking; preferred above all others and treated with partiality

Perhaps a mixture of the two

I keep it simple. It's pure resume and achievements(belts won). Sadly even fabricated achievements (BradleySDPacquiao) still count because they are standing with the official record.

I won't delve too far into fantasy match ups. I just see p4p being pure ranking of boxers achievements.
