    Not really. Inoue's resume is pretty deep. He went up in weight and stopped 2 men who have never been stopped. In total 2 rounds.

    It is subjective, but that's ultimately why it's my list. Broner has never been on my P4P list, didn't know he was ever on anyone's (but I wasn't on the forums and stuff when he was flying somewhat high, so that's more owing to my ignorance than anything else).

    Comparing the HW's to other weights is difficult, it's bit of a different game to some extent. Beating Miller does sod all for AJ's P4P status so far as I'm concerned. It does about as much as beating Crolla will do for Loma. He might be top 10 rated but that doesn't mean he's a quality fighter (to be clear, I don't think Miller is as bad as some say but he isn't world class in the slightest). I'd sooner have Fury on the list than AJ, but that would be based on my assumption that Fury beats him along with the rest of the division

    Yet you have Canelo top 5 who was embarrassed against Floyd, had gift decisions in at least 2 of his fights and has yet to face any other real challenge at MW.

    It seems the criteria you are Judging AJ on is not the Same for Canelo.

    Inoue or Garcia could flip flop for 4 or 5 IMO.

    Bro....... Are you plugged in? A great case can be made for 1-4 and then you go straight fubar on #5. Any recent head trauma/severe head trauma? Like a level 2 or 3 TBI recently? Id get that checked out bro. Mikey Garcia NEEDS to be top 5. Other than those short bus window licking picks u were pretty on point.

    He fought Floyd when he was 23 lol.

    I thought he lost both fights to GGG. But he was very competitive and pushed him real close in the rematch. I had GGG in my top 3 at the time, so losing to him is no blemish at all. In fact, running him close is actually a credit to Canelo.

    Now if we use your logic, then AJ's win over Wlad is less impressive because he was stopped by Brewster years ago....

    Mike's skillset is excellent and much better than Warrington's own but who's Mickey's best win? Broner? Salido? Easter? Non of them are any better than Frampton or Selby. If Garcia beats Spence he rockets up 6-8 to 1

    Edit: reading through, that comment was f*cking funny

    Ok not totally happy with it but can still roll with it. Warrington hasn't just impressed me this year, hes totally blown me away, and you make some good points and valid reasons to back his #5 position so I can rock with it. Props to you for having the stones to make such a bold choice that will be checked countless times by other posters. Respect.

    But still, not gonna lie, a little miffed Mikey wasn't in there but that's because hes my favorite fighter. But again, respect brother.

    Why not? Santa Cruz's best win is Frampton who beat him. Valdez's best win is Scott Quigg who isn't as good as Lee Selby, Warrington beat both last year AND is a better boxer than Quigg at least. He was also an underdog in both and was undersized in both. He's most definitely the best featherweight and imo a top 5 PfP
