    who at 168 has challenged him legitimately? No One He's stated all along he wants all the belts @ 160 THEN move up. He has to fight someone to stay in fighting shape meanwhile. You'd be better off asking
    Pollo , Jacobs. Eubank, Saunders etc why they aren't pushing for a shot at the Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World Lack of Cojones ??? Huh?

    Murray and Macklin weren't nobodies when Sergio fought them. In fact, Murray arguably beat Sergio. Geale was a former champion. Lemieux was a belt holder. All had been highly ranked. But when they signed to fight GGG they became D listers and bums.

    No wonder no one wants to fight GGG. You become a bum and get knocked out for your troubles!

    This wanting all the belts excuse expired years ago.. You're meant to chase the big names and the big fights , not plastic titles.
    He wants to stay in bum city because he's afraid of a challenge. Belts mean nothing. Nobody gives a chit about his collection of paper straps.
    There's champs who hold real belts at 168 a d 175 and he wants none of them. :tiburon:

    I also think leaving Pac off their list is highly disrespectful, in recent years he has only lost to former P4P 1 Mayweather and future hall of fame Marquez, his wins over Vargas and Bradley should be enough to keep him in the top 4.

    Martinez vs Murray and Macklin were low profile fights. Just routine defences for Sergio. . Same as GGG vs Lemiuex / Munroe etc.
    Difference is nobody was calling Martinez an ATG , a destroyer of 168 /175 pounders and the most ducked man in history.

    Golovkin is made out to be some bonafide boxing ATG ledgend when he doesn't even have a better record than Arthur Abraham:confundio1:

    Must be K2 promotions, as they rank GGG over Canelo!

    You're getting P4P mixed up with resume.

    P4P means if EVERYBODY was of equal size, who would win? It's GGG's attributes as a fighter than got him the No.4 spot.

    Bringing up his victories means nothing.

    Theoretically speaking would you rank a boxer in the P4P list who had only ever competed with - and got the better of - elite opponents in sparring but had never fought professionally? Assuming video evidence was available, of course...

    Mate come on, say Loma went back down to FW and Rigo moved up that wouldn't have a bearing on Lomas p4p status? Ridiculous, course it would... He'd move to at least top 3 or 4. Secondly id actually argue Brook is more skilled and has more potential than Walters but I gotta give the Walters win more credence as he has a better resume than Brook and didn't move up to fight him. Brook is a top win wether he is smaller or not and I think time will bear that out.

    P4p for me is skillset, resume and dominance....

    I agree but the parallels you gave were Kell who moved up two weight classes to GGG's weight, and likewise for Khan - that's different to them meeting at 126. If Loma beats Rigo at 126, that's massive.

    If Loma beat a FW Rigo that wud be hug. I think Loma could easily make FW again and Rigo cud too.
