    Can't be those two old guys who fought last night, or that big old Ukrainian guy who fought last weekend.

    With all due respect, they're looking well past it.

    Who's the CURRENT p4p #1 ?

    There isn't a man born from his mother that can compete with Tyson fury. I don't care if ur 5'6 or 6'5 u ain't beating Tyson fury, he would knock Floyd out with one punch.

    The top of the P4P is always a combination of recent performances and also the overall body of work of the fighter.

    As far as dominating the opposition goes, guys like Roman Gonzalez, Kovalev and Golovkin would have to be rated very highly.

    But at the very top of the mantle, it's a combination of several things. I still don't think those guys have usurped Mayweather off the mantle. You can't really deduct anything from him based off his recent performances. He's taking on the best guys in his division and is still clearly beating them.

    GGG is obviously the real P4P king, H2H wise

    nobody is more dominant, feared, and all around better

    the only fighter out there with NO weaknesses

    Floyd clearly #1 p4p, Wlad clearly #2 p4p...Pacquiao falls into a mix of guys including Rigo, Marquez, Roman, etc somewhere from 3-8

    GGG followed by Kovalev followed by Lomachenko. Crawford is not far from being in the mix but still too early.

    Roman Gonzalez. He's a smaller version of Golovkin, just ten times better. His win over a raw Estrada already cements his legacy as a lower weight legend. If he was to beat Estrada again and beat Naoya Inoue he might already be a top 30 ATG. Srs.

    Gonzalez, Rigo, GGG, Kovalev are all p4p talents at the moment in my opinion.

    I also have high hope for the monster.

    What are you smoking? 10X better than GGG? He gets hit less than GGG but he is not better than GGG. And he is 5'3" in the flyweight division. Not near as many top opponents at that weight category.
