Un-scientific Ring poll- as of today. Top p4p fighter in the world!

Well, GGG is #1 by a whole heap. lolol... Manny is #2. Floyd #3. Over 8,500 people voted. What do you think about the casual fans on this one??

I like the fact that GGG is getting so much heat.

Whether you like GGG or you think he's overrated, boxing always needs guys who can captivate and bring in an audience and it's looking more and more like GGG will be a guy to do that.

It's not casual fans reading The Ring website.

What have you done for me lately? You can make a case for Golovkin being top dog. Floyd had to rematch a man that has never been considered close to P4P, with several previous losses to men that have never been rated P4P. Floyd looked far from impressive.

GGG can't find an opponent that can even give him a run for his money. His performance is far more impressive against "allegedly" inferior opposition.

Makes sense.

Rigondeaux has to be in the top three. And I'm not a Rigondeaux fan. Roman Gonzalez should be top five. From what I can see of the thumbnail it's all Golovkin, Floyd and Manny. It's more a popularity contest than a pound for pound list.

Well I don't think there's any real logical way anyone can rank GGG above a guy like Floyd or Andre Ward P4P right now. GGG has fought a bunch of good guys and totally destroyed them, but he hasn't yet gotten that BIG fight that would put him over the top, like a fight with Ward, Froch, or Martinez pre-Cotto would have.

In Floyd, his resume speaks for itself and in Andre, you have a guy who's completely cleaned out his division by winning the Super 8, and the division he cleaned out was a very tough division.

My biggest gripe is with Pac being top 3. A guy who's 2-2 in his last 4 shouldn't be top 3 IMO.

Can see your point with Pac, but feel that he is 3-1 (even though judges ripped him off) and was actually starting to put on serious pressure n damage prior to JMM catching him with that monster shot. He beat the previously #3 P4P undefeated Bradley in his previous fight, so it makes sense. If you are being honest, a Manny has consistently taken on much superior opposition than Floyd.
