That part is fine. Wlad can't be champ unless he beats Vitali. I don't understand why the ww champ is vacant though. Considering #1 has beat #2 already.
P4P Adjustment 1. Floyd Mayweather 2. Andre Ward 3. Juan Manuel Marquez 4. Sergio Martinez 5. Manny Pacquiao 6. Carl Froch 7. Wlad Klitschko 8. Abner Mares 9. Guillermo Rigondeaux 10. Nonito Donaire
It's a nightmare scenario really - they met before they were #1 and #2. What i'll say about the vacant champions is that it's difficult to become TBR Kingpin, but it's difficult to lose that title too - in other words, when the majority of divisions have titlists in a few years time things will be less difficult and the fact that so and so or such and such wasn't champ will be forgotten by all but a few that are interested in that kind of thing.
Ok cool I get it. How are you gonna deal with this Floyd-Canelo situation though? Its another nightmare scenario since Canelo is the champ and floyd is the number 1 contender but they arent fighting at the jmw limit. So does the winner become champ or does Canelo keep his tiyle regardless of result?
Excellent rankings, pretty much spot on imo! Certainly much better than the RING's and Boxrec's efforts.
That's a little harsh, Southpaw. But it demonstrates the problem with these things. One fan's second-rater is another fan's hero. What can yah do? Personally, I thought Froch should stay put at #8 -he beat a top 20 guy most figured he'd beat anyway, and the lower end of the P4P List just feels more right for Froch. I and some others were outvoted though. A good thing, though, is that quality of competition is a big factor. And that's why Froch got a lift -he's not pretty on the eyes (and trying to find an action shot where his form is right is a serious challenge!), but he is boxing's best overachiever.
Quality of competition? He's lost to Kessler,Ward, and should have lost to Dirrell. He needed a miracle comeback to beat Taylor. In between those, he's won decisions against old ass Glen Johnson, Arthur Abraham(who is everyone's ***** at 168), and KO'd Bute..The Bute KO is impressive, but Bute himself wasn't anywhere near top 10. He's getting a lot of credit for facing elite competition, when he's losing to that elite competition. Just 3 fights ago, he lost every round of a fight. That's not P4P
