    What ??? You literally moved the absolute worst ever version of fmj up your p4p list. Fmj was p4p #1 without any close #2 until 07 when he took a break. Outclassing Jmm and ssm showed he was still clearly #1 and that performance very canelo stamped it as fact

    Most agree this is a great match, there's a vast difference in the overall fighting package that Walters brings vs Anyone Loma has sceen. One thing I'm confident about is that both will lay it all out in the ring. Loma must keep himself paced and poised the entire fight because Walters is durable, strong and determined

    Word. That's why I never bothered rating Hopkins. Ever since that Mitchell embarrassment, I never saw any real reason to follow him.

    Maybe top 10 if Walters should pull it off. Remember Loma lost to Salido (i was fine a decision either way). But, I just don't see Loma losing to Walters except a lucky shot. Loma is too slick and better now.

    Kovalev beating Ward by wide UD or KO would likely make Sergei #1

    He is speedy but I do
    think your understating his skill abit too, you don't win two gold medals without serious skills. Not to mention he beat Russell jr who has more speed than him. I think Salido is one of the worst pro you could face in under 10 fights coz he's so experienced gritty and dirty. Now with all that being said I think if Walters is the same Walters that beat marriaga, Loma is in for the toughest night of his career.

    No I don't mean that version of Floyd is the best, I'm saying him beating Manny who was p4p no 1. for a period when he retired is what put him there officially for me.

    The Floyd that beat Corrales was the best version of Floyd for me explosive, skillful and more offensive.

    Loma losing to a Salido "level" is nothing to be ashamed of. Just cuz the guy has double digit losses doesn't make him less of a badass. He shocked many when he took Juanma's 0 and been in many, many great fights. Salido is still a worldclass beater, he arguably not only beat Loma, but many think he beat Vargas and Martinez too. Wouldn't surprise me if he beat Loma again.

    Nothing to be ashamed, Walters is an undefeated, tall lanky, huge puncher, former champion and a tough fight for anyone.

    I agree but it's possible to stumble coming out of the gate or to have an off night. But losing twice to two such fighters is proof positive.

    He is an undefeated former champion, huge for his weight, huge puncher and fairly skilled at counterpunching.
    There isn't shame on losing against him.
