What will Wlad have to do to make your Top 10 PFP?

[SweetPea]

I was reading thru the "revised Top 10 PFP" thread where people were providing their post-Mayweather PFP lists, and I realized that no one had Wlad in their Top 10.

So what does he have to do to make it?

Are you of the mindset that no heavyweight ever belongs on a PFP list?

If you do think there are situations where a heavyweight belongs on a PFP list, what does Wlad have to do...

unify the titles?
beat a specific opponent (example.. Peter)?

I'm starting this thread, because as I was making my Top 10 list, I filled in the Top 6 or 7 easy enough, but after that, it became harder to justify leaving Wlad out.

I think the unification will give him P4P status at least in my book.

I think it would require him to show a little more than a jab-cross and not get knocked down so frequently.

Let his hands go, especially the right hand, and also to stop holding so damn much.

[Dizaster]

Yeah, I think he needs to show a little more gusto and a little more dimension to his game and he could be in there... To be really fair though, it's more about the lack of depth & solid competition in the heavyweight division that limits the amount of cred that Wlad can get from beating them.... A Heavyweight certainly deserves to be in the Top 10 P4P in my book as much as any other weight.. Some of the other division though have so much depth, that for a fighter to be on top in those, they have to have the entire package... And it's easier to slot them into the Top 10 over Wlad, where the competition just isn't nearly as heated...

The only way Wlad could make a top 10 P4P list is if he morphed into Ali overnight.

Although P4P is nothing but fun, too many people compile their lists based solely on achievements made per division instead of putting emphasis on the SKILL of each fighter.

Here's Bernard Hopkins take on P4P - "You've got to understand that Ray Robinson was given the P4P title not because of his record, which included losses, but because of things he could do, he could adjust in the blink of an eye. He could box going back, he could box going forward, he could knock you out with a left hook, sideways, backwards, frontwards. To me, that's what it takes to be the best pound-for-pound fighter."

If you can't find 50 fighters better than Wlad.. surely something is wrong

Let me ask you then.... has Bernard Hopkins been on your Top 10 PFP list recently?

Appear in 'I am legend' in real life.

Some of you guys judge P4P a little too harshly. Of course Wlad can make the list. Just like you could say Wlad wouldn't be as good with the same skill set at a lower weight class, the same could be said if you were to put Pacquiao at HW. Pac can't necessarily take those bigger punches and wouldn't necessarily be able to carry the extra 70+ lbs successfully. That comparison is just about as fair as throwing Wlad in the ring with Pac (and take a wild guess who would win). The criteria changes depending on the class. We don't look for HWs to be the fastest guys in boxing just like we don't look for bantamweights to be the biggest punchers. What Wlad is doing right now should earn him a spot on any current P4P list. Not necessarily all-time because there are so many great heavyweights who would probably beat him, but judged against active fighters Wlad is either on or around the corner from the list. Just stop it already.

My exact feelings.

[Put Em' Up]

I don't think it really has to do with Wlads skills (at least I hope not because the guy can fight and other then his anytime chin he is dominate) it has to do more with the Heavyweight division being so weak.

If the division was stronger he would have made my list for sure.

I have Wlad at #1 in my top ten ppf. I am of the mindset that nobody BUT Heavyweights belong on the PFP list.
