    Looking good (while you fight) against well matched opposition. Defending your title seems to be on the back burner as if who you actually beat.


    Any boxer looks UNSTOPPABLE when they are well matched. Look at Manny, Roy Jones, Tyson (I'd never hate on mike, so put the gun down) etc.


    Ive noticed consitent guys, who face a variety of comp, or at least defend consistently, are constantly left out of the p4p 1 picture. Wlad for example, even though I'm glad he lost, put a lot of work into the HW division and was able to KEEP HIS TITLE. unify the for the first time since 2001, and defend against the best available, for a long ass time.

    yet Gonzalez is number 1 because he has some flashy highlights and some nice LOOKING combination? Please. Same **** happened with roy, who fights bums but everyone loves because he has a highlight reel.

    Being american helps too that gets you pushed up the p49 quicker than anything else and makes it very hard for you to be removed

    LMAO Manny and Roy Jones being well matched.

    Annihilation of Barrera and Morales.

    Schooling of Hopkins and Toney.

    Well matched. LMFAO. Get out of here with that trash.

    Green Hopkins who was **** at that time based on what? Being a pro for a year longer than Roy or starting his dominant reign just a year later? Weight drained Toney who weighd in @167 and rehydrated back to 180 which is considered perfectly normal today?

    Isn't Gonzalez number 1 because he has beaten the top fighters in his divisions in dominant fashion with skills that people who actually know anything about boxing can see are beyond elite?

    Rephrase your quote as a statement like a man. Don't passive aggressively hide behind questions. You look me in the ****ing eye when I'm talking to you.

    Klitchko>Gonzales.

    And I'm the biggest Klitchko hater here.

    No...

    Gonzalez is number one because he's defeated and usually dominated high quality opposition for the past few years. Estrada, Viloria, Sosa, Yaegashi, Niida, Takayama, and Rodriguez were all extremely capable and accomplished opponents- And, Roman beat them all. Those who bother to look into the careers of these fighters would agree. Those who didn't look freaking idiotic.

    And yeah...I'm looking right at you when I say that.

    Not only is Gonzalez p4p #1 right now, it's completely laughable to have any other fighter at the top spot.
