C'mon.... between you and me. You know Canelo has no business in the top 10 p4p list.
Take off your biased hat and put on your knowledgeable boxing hat.... that's right.
Now think about it.
Just trying to be helpful here.
One meaningful victory, VD. ONE. There's a conga line of boxers out there with more than just the one meaningful victory who are a hell of a lot more deserving for a spot in the top ten p4p than Canelo.
Canelo is still on the way up, VD. But there's no shortcuts into the elite. That shit's got to be earned over time, and with a hell of a lot more than one meaningful opponent.
Anyway, VD... opinions are just that.... opinions. You think Canelo belongs in the top 10. I don't. I didn't even put Cotto in there, and he's got a lot more reasons to be in there than Canelo. Cotto's the decorated veteran, with the HOF resume. Cotto looked 20 times better against Floyd than Canelo did. Cotto faced better opposition in his first 15-20 fights... than Canelo has faced in his total 40-some. Etc, etc, etc. But I'm not here crowing about Cotto having to be on the list, because I know he's lost some fights, and is on the downhill side of a great career. Objectiveness..... it's a good concept. Try it sometime.
Biggest gripe is having Wlad in there. P4P by it's definition assumes that every fighter is the same size and weight. If Wlad was a 5'8 welterweight, he would struggle to be in the top ten at 147 imo.![]()

the problem is that a p4p list is created differently for everybody. is it really who is the best fighter? or if there was a fluke KO, does that fighter go down? for example, lets say that mayweather is fighting garcia. mayweather is winning the whole fight easily and then mayweather slips and gets caught with a left that KO's him in the 12th round. does that move him down on the list? does that really mean that he still isnt the best? do we do the p4p list like we do weight class rankings? as in, if the fighter loses, do they automatically drop? or are we just saying who the best is regardless of what happened in their last fight?
