I think the reason that there are so many older fighters on the P4P list is because it takes a long time to gain that type of credibility with the boxing community. Is Joe Calzaghe any different of a fighter than he was before he fought Lacy? No, but he had no resume back then. He had the same exact talent and style but no resume. It takes time to build a resume to be considered for the P4P list. This is why you have so many older fighters on the P4P list. Young fighters might have the talent but because of the matchmaking, they usually don't get involved in big fights until much later in their careers. You won't find a young guy on the P4P list unless he possesses something extremely out of the ordinary and special (i.e. RJJ and Mayweather Jr.).

Look at fighters like Jorge Linares, Andre Berto, Juan Manuel Lopez, or Chad Dawson. All of these guys have the talent and potential to be P4P #1 but right now they're nowhere in the top 10 because they don't have enough names and respect. Well, except for Dawson, he should probably be in the top ten at this point. It's called paying your dues I guess.
