Why I hate the P4P rankings

[Kev]

Care to give an example of fighters getting overlooked?

Chris John
Nonito Donaire
Joan Guzman
Robert Guerrero

Are just a few examples.

Plus many fighters, who we are forced to overlook, due to politics in the game and them never getting a fair crack at the P4P list or even a mainstream fight.

I can agree to some guys being overlooked by populartity or actually lack of world wide mainstream exposure....There was a thread not long ago about everyones top 10 P4P..after the Vazquez/Marquez 3 fight...I had Chris John on my list and was blasted for it...but IMO he is a guy who is often overlooked due to the lack of TV exposure...

As for Doniare, Guerrero and Guzman...they do not quite fit the bill yet sorry to say....Nonito would be the first of the three IMO to make the list...it is a toss up between who is better Robert or Joan TBH I don't see either as P4P fighters any time soon.....

The rankings are based on quality of wins (Can hardly say it with a straight face)...But that is how it is supposed to be anyhow.....Right now the rankings are pretty much on Target...

In no particular order (I am just nam,ing them off the top of my head)..the usual P4P at the moment goes..

PBF, Hopkins, Calzaghe, Vazquez, Pacquiao, Rafael and JMM Marquez, Pavlik, Wright, with one spot changing up about once a month...

IMO boxrec has the worst P4P list out there....They have Haye ranked higher then Calzaghe...I can understand the frustration though

I tell you what though, if Haye was a little guy, say from the bantamweight division and had just had back to back KO wins over the Ring and universally recognised champ and then over the number 1 ranked Contender and fellow world champ in 2 rounds people would be talking about him more I think.

You see guys like Mijares, John, Guerreo etc creeping up into or near peoples p4p lists and they havn't done what Haye has done in my opinion.

If Mijares had followed up his beatdown of Arce with a 2 round demolition of Fernado Montiel you'd hear a LOT of talk on here for him being p4p.

Same with John if he knocked out Guerrero.

Not saying Haye is top 10 p4p but his achievements do deserve credit, I'd probably have him in my top 20 p4p now, and above Mijares, Guerro and John imo.
