Why I hate the P4P rankings

[El Kabong]

I just hate it when stupid bastards try and put heavyweights in the pound for pound rankings.


NEWFLASH! THE P4P SYSTEM WAS CREATED TO LIST THE BEST FIGHTERS OUTSIDE THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION!!!!


The only time any heavyweight should be listed in the P4P is if that heavyweight came up from a lighter weight ie: Gene Tunney, Roy Jones Jr., but not Evander Holyfield as he fought the majority of his career at heavyweight.


People who list ALI as a P4Per are fucking annoying and have lost their God damn minds as Ali was the biggest motherfucker fighting in the division at the time!!!!

I disagree. It may have started out that way but I think a fair p4p system should rate all fighters across all divisions.

Ali and everyone else should have their place in boxing history properly assessed.

Are you saying that the Ring and everyone else should remove all the heavyweights from their All Time p4p rankings?

Because I think that would absolutely suck balls to be honest.

The top 10 p4p ranking should, in this little hobbit's opinion rate the best 10 fighters currently boxing today.

Bilbo why on Earth would anyone want to compare HEAVYWEIGHTS to lower weight classes?

It's counter productive....you can say a guy like Pacquiao or Mayweather moved up or down in weight to beat X,Y, and Z but heavyweights are on an island of their own and whether they are great or not has nothing to do with it but it's harder to appreciate the heavyweights because they can't take on a light heavyweight or cruiserweight and get respect for it they can only tarnish their legacies.


Yes I am saying Ring should remove all heavyweights from their all-time P4P rankings....Ali was THE BIGGEST heavyweight of his era and therefore deserves no place in the P4P....it would be like if Roy Jones Jr. fought only junior middleweights and welterweights when he was at 168-175 and he got props for that.....the heavyweight division is best judged against itself historically and not against every other division all-time.

Of course Ali deserves recognition in the p4p rankings.

By overwhelming consensus he's the second best fighter ever to lace up a pair of gloves, certainly in terms of his achievments.

I don't really see p4p the way you do. I see it as a reflection of the best fighters and a comparison of their respective achievements.

And you do realize the you gave me negative rep for saying I didn't the ranking system used on this site and have now got the reputation of being a moaner whereas you can moan and grumble about the p4p ranking system used to rate boxers and thats ok

You damn hypocrite
