How does the P4P ranking look now?

no different than a teen choice awards...P4P rankings are a joke now, people are acting like Ricky Hatton already, treating it as if it were a title in itself

How is it a joke? It is the measurement of the best fighters in the whole sport. There is really no right or wrong list, but usually 99% would agree on the top 2.

It aint no joke to be called a top p4p fighter.

i'm not saying that being a top p4p fighter is a joke, i mean people's obsession with the rankings or even some people's ranking are ridiculous period

for example how the hell can someone have someone like Lopez on a p4p list yet not have Wlad on there when he's been cleaning out the HW division for like the last 5 yrs at least, and on the other hand people have Donaire so high up when if you really compare who he's beaten to someone like Khan well in actuality Khan has a better record and should be higher than him, same goes for Bradley, p4p rankings are barely structured on skill or accomplishments now, it usually is just a popularity poll, that's why i say it has become a joke

HOLY CRAP! You actually buy into this P4P ranking? It was originally just a hypothetical game used to compare fighters from different weight classes. It has noting to do with reality. It is subjective, and anyone could relate it the Oscars or any other opinionated comparison. The current P4P Rankings is highly political and a lot of it has to do with what fighter is getting the most publicity. The leader in P4P Rankings is a publication organization. It makes more sense for them to list fighters that is going to increase their readership rather than list fighters relatively unknown to the public.

Here is one category that is typically not accounted for. "Determination/Heart" a fighter with the relentless will can overcome skill, speed even weight advantages held by another fighter. Micky Ward, David Dias were often behind on fight cards but still managed to knock out opponents to win. So you rank these guys lower on your P4P lists and statics but the reality is you lost that $100 bet.

I'm not saying it doesn't have value. It has a very big affect. It's crap as ranking and completely unfair because there is no just is way to measure active fighters of different weight-classes. i.e. fighters are defined by who they face in the ring and their performances. How can you accurately measure the ability of featherweight against that of a heavyweight? It cannot be done!

P4P is really subjective. It depends on how you measure it up. Fighters resume, stats, compare divisions by divisions, etc. To me, I measure it by quality wins, within and across divisions. Some emphasize raw assessments of talent, some emphasize who would beat whom in a bout where both fighters were magically transformed into the same size.
