Where do you rank Terrence Crawford P4P?

[Master]

I have him at 4 on my list, but am considering moving him up to 3. I have Rigo and Loma solid at 1 and 2, chocolatito was pretty solid at 3, but I'm starting to feel that Crawford has more dimensions/options in the ring, and has that "special" speed that will allow him to beat much larger fighters. Ward is my 5 but if he beats Kov he will likely move to my top spot due to his overall resume. GGG and Kov are great fighters, but I'm not convinced they are as versatile or athletic as those I have listed above them. Can see a case for ranking any of those I listed in different orders though, because all have provided spectacular performances.

I just don't buy into Loma being that high. He has been impressive for only having a few fights, but being number 2 means that he is extremely dominant. After last fight, I put him on my p4p list. He hasn't done enough to justify a number 2 spot.

Rigo is kind of the same. If you are knocking ward a few spots for being inactive, then rigo should also be knocked a few spots for fighting nobody good for a few years (whether or not it's his fault).

It was me that queried Ward being that high @mikeeod rates Ward as the new Hopkins.

It seems that he implied that Ward was the best but he just hasn't beaten anyone for a while. Am I wrong? I mean, he said that he would be #1 p4p if he beat kovalev.

I would rank Kov at 5 if he beats Ward. Ward has the best resume/quality wins of anyone on the p4p list, and consistent performance against top competition weighs heavily in my rankings. That being said, Ward hasn't had a big win in a couple of years, so he has fallen in my rankings. If he beats the monster at 175, he proves to me he hasn't lost his form and is back at #1 on my list. Rigo, Loma, and GGG are all similar in my eyes in that they are far and away the best in their divisions, with few top names willing to fight them. I rank Rigo and Loma above GGG because they are faster, more athletic, and more versatile. As I said before, I understand everyone's point about experience/quality of opposition, but these two are today's versions of Finito Lopez to me. Sometimes, you just know. Rigo especially is a beast and from what I hear, he regularly runs world class WELTERS out of the gym. Cuban Sweet Pea.

But isn't kovalev far and away the best in his division? Ward is now trying to challenge him for that spot now, but before ward came back, he was more dominant than GGG IMO. I can't fathom him only being #5 if he beats ward.

[mikeeod]

Kov is the best in that division, but Ward is coming up so it takes a little off for me. Once he obliterates Adonis and cleans the division out, I may have to re-evaluate his position. I was impressed with his win over Hop, but Hop was 50 at the time they fought. Hard to gauge where Kov is at right now.

A fter the superior perfomance defeating Mr. Postol and exposing all his faults and not being caught on the ropes I would call him star in the making but pound for pound, he is for now in the right place for the new kid on the block. Just don't get used to sticking out your tongue too much.
