1. Floyd Mayweather(has a fight lined up late this year for that 50-0. Been in the p4p lists since 1998, beat a who's who of champions and names, and embarrassed the fighter of the decade like he was a sparring partner) 2. Roman Gonzalez(clear number 2, passes the eye test and has the best resume out of any champion currently fighting right now. Also is undefeated. Doesn't matter that he's a midget. He's the BEST midget.) 3. Kovalev(clear number 3, in a perfect position right now to become an ATG at LHW. Crushes his opposition and outboxed Hopkins) 4. Guillermo Rigo(the most feared man in boxing. Inactivity and the fact that people don't want to step up to him probably hampers his ranking. However, the Frampton-Quigg winner is obligated by the WBA to fight him. I doubt they will, but that only furthers my point of the most feared man in boxing) 5. Terrence Crawford(already a two weight world champ, being lineal at LW. The next big thing in boxing, undefeated, and posses a threat to anyone from 140-147) 6. Manny Pacquaio(just because he lost to the best fighter of the generation and brought up excuses for the loss doesn't mean anything. Other than Mayweather, he's still the heavy favorite from anyone from 147 and below) 7. Andre Ward(like Rigo, inactivity and promotional issues hampers his ranking. Other than Kovalev, beats everyone from 160-175 without breaking a sweat) 8. Tyson Fury(the man, the legend, the gypsy warrior KING. Beat ATG HW Wlad and is on his way to making history. Couple more title defenses and he's on his way up) 9. Canelo Alvarez(just s****ped the MW belt from fading midget Cotto, has a stellar resume of different styles, is on his way to greatness if he stays on course) 10. Timothy Bradley(the fearless black Mexican warrior. Will fight anyone around him, and now that he's trained under Teddy Atlas embodying the fireman spirit, he's on the course to seek greatness.)
I don't think it's ridiculous to have him in the top 10. He has one of the best wins of any active boxer.
How is Ward on anyones list? Seriously, he isn't active. At least wait until he fights some competition.
Why does it matter if hes active? p4p hes still one of the best in the sport until he starts showing some decline
This ^ really depends on your personal take on what P4P means. We've seen many fighters decline overnight and Andre's not fought at the top level in a loooong time. For me P4P is constantly evolving and a measure of where a fighter is at right now, not 2 or 3 or 4 years ago. Of course resume and style of victory is important in informing this judgement, what else is there except the eye test?.. but historical wins should be weighted lighter than recent performances. At least, that is my take. The entire P4P concept is pretty flawed and utterly subjective though, so the TS might as well clear that 'unbiased' slurry out of the title for starters.

Brook has no business in there. DSG Thurman Stevenson Wilder Saunders Lara Arthur Abraham They have more claim to be in the top 10.
