Who do you rate as the current P4P #1?

[Silkeyjoe]

Its mad the debate here. P4P seems to be designated with who fighters like rather than how good they are and unfortunately it comes across as race being the main problem most fans have with another fighter. Do you guys not see the hypocrisy in a lot of your arguments and see it makes you come across as racist twats? No doubt I do to at times but will try stay out of arguments along those lines in future. From looking at Fensters comments recent Id say hes pretty fed up with the rubbish debates on here lately

Somehow not having Crawford as number 1 is disrespectful to his achievements? He unified a very poor division. IF GGG unified middleweight would you have him as P4P number 1? I certainly wouldnt given how bad the middleweight is. Does unifying actually matter anyway? GGG has got so much grief for trying to unify MW and not moving up should Crawford not have got the same criticism after winning a title at the weight and not moving up? Finally does anyone think that Loma or Garcia or Inoue or Rigo at Bantom or Usyk couldnt unify their divisions if given the chance?

Crawford has had 32 fights and by my reckoning he has never fought a really elite opponent. He has fought maybe 5 or 6 world level opponents but his resume is nothing special. Loma has had 11 fights, won titles in 2 weight classes and fought 1 elite fighter (although weight advantage made the fight a farce) and has also fought 6 world level opponents (although he lost to one of them).

I’m not sure what you were reading if people made it sound like p4p was just their favorite fighter or that people were racist because they put certain fighters #1. I feel like that’s you having preconceived notions about what people think.

I have no problem with someone putting Loma #1 but I think that Crawford definitely deserves it. I’m always up for a debate but some people can’t argue their point and try to make the other poster look stupid rather than argue their own point.

Not all on this thread but if you’ve been on this site and can’t see guys contradicting themselves when talking about fighters they like and fighters they don’t like I think it’s pretty clear.

There are always some people on every message board who I don’t really count their opinion as valid.

Yes, mate, when people are totally unaware of their own hypocrisy and inconsistencies whilst portraying blind arrogance they deserve contempt. There's only so much dumbing down until it's not worth it at all.

True, that is why I buy into fighters fighting each other and that's it. P4P is a bit silly really. It has no rubrical grounding. I think Lomachhenko looks better than all the others, but unless he is a weight magician and fights all the others you never really know.

James Toney will always be in my current top 10. But then again I am a blinkered madman.
