Glad to see the poll going Wvlads way. If he isnt number 1 on the mythical listings then he certainly needs to be up there.
Ring magazine seems to be rating Gonzales highly because of his zero but he hasn’t been as dominant as Klitschko has in the last decade. Imo the best fighter on the planet is Klitschko as no man can beat him. With other fighters on the list you only have to move them up in weight before they meet their match but theres nobody capable of beating Wvladimir. Heavyweights seemed to get excluded for that reason from p4p lists but weight aside he is the most dominant guy in his division and has been for a while. Not putting Gonzales down but once hes dominated for a decade with can start talking about him in a similar way.
Ward is irrelevant and shouldn’t be ranked now because its opinion rather than basing on facts. We don’t know how good he is now. In 2012 he may have been a top fighter but so were Martinez and Pacquiao who have since lost. So keeping Ward so high is rewarding him for being inactive. Where do you draw the line with inactivity before they have to prove themselves again because it should be a year according to the mandatory bodies. Had Sergio Opted to sit out for afew years to let his leg heal would they still rank him as high as he was in 2012? I think not
Rigondeux is interesting because he is clearly one of the most talented fighters on the planet and that should be what its all about but he hasn’t really dazzled against top flight opposition so he needs to make a convincing statement against a good fighter like Ward does.
