If you beat the world champion, you become the world champion. So i think if you beat the 6th rated p4p fighter (for example) you should take his place.

Whether he has style or great technique is irrelevant. He has the tools to get the job done. End of story.



Spot on mate. If you want to become a champion beat the champion. Simple as that isn't it. The myth p4p rate is the same. If you beat the #1 p4p, you inherit his place. The reason why its hard to debate regarding p4p myth is that some still think its about technique or style. What if a fighter have technique or style but fighting bums or non rated... are they still p4p fighter? Its supposed to be who you beat to make it to the list. By the way i'm not a fun of this myth rating. It's nothing and really tiring to debate on...
Good point

And also we must take into account the fact that technique and style doesn't win you fights on their own.

If that was the case, Cotto would still be undefeated. Technically he is far superior to Margarito, but it wasn't enough.
