    So what?

    Wlad was brought up old school, fighting very frequently early in his career. It boggles my mind that this strategy is no longer employed by other young prospects, as I think it's immensely beneficial. But the stat you quote is essentially meaningless without context.

    when you get knocked out, then lose again, win 3 in a row (2 against guys not in your division) and then shut out...that doesnt constitute a pound for pound ranking. PERIOD.

    Does beating Timothy Bradley (again) who was undefeated, prime, and coming off wins against Provo and Marquez, mean nothing?

    Was that not one of the best wins that year?

    Also, the Bradley "loss" was b4 the KO, not after. Also, two guys who fought at 140 is not so outside his weight class since Pac isn't even a natural WW himself. He's a more natural 140 pounder. Remember he was 144 pounds a week b4 the Floyd fight.

    Bradley can be on P4P list, he's got the resume but his performances haven't been amazing except for Marquez recently not to mention a loss to Pac. 7 is too high though.

    Golovkin at #2, well this doesn't require any explanation, just stupidity.

    Wlad, way too low.

    Ward, I'd personally not have him on the list but #6 is reasonable if you will, just don't put him at #2 or something ridiculous like that when he's not done anything recently.

    Pacquiao, way too high, he's not been at all impressive recently. Was knocked out devastatingly, got badly outboxed too. Just has wins over a couple mediocre guys.

    Actually his body frame is more that of a lightweight.

    Klitschko and Povetkin both beat the former unified HW champ in that time frame as well. I wasn't that impressed with their wins either.
