p4p, what is your definition?

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?

I don't understand why people say p4p is pointless. P4P is probably the most significant title you can have. It means you are considered the best fighter in the sport (or in the history of the sport, if you're talking about all time p4p). What could be more important (besides making a lot of money) than being considered the greatest in your sport by the boxing community?

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.
