    Marquez is also 1-2-1 against him. I'm sure Canelo will never have a losing record against a rival.

    Marquez should really be 2-1-1 tho. He clearly won the 3rd fight

    And why would that be....nothing to do with his skill but business reasons.
    Clearly lost to lara, ggg1, mayweather. Contraversial dec to Larry Mosley, trout, ggg2.

    I had Marquez winning the fight he koed pac in but this guy obviously doesn’t believe in bad dec.
    Canelo better all time then jmm.....you should prob get Atleast a week ban for that nonsense. Who did canelo beat legit? Old sugashane old cotto.....then who? Kirkland Kahn Chavez jr......****ing laughable. Won a belt going 12 with Ricky hatton bro? Lol

    Wilder is a joke and most smart boxing fans know it.

    The fact that people actually rank Crawford and Loma top P4P fighters with there lack of resumes is laughable and make then more overrated

    Glad to see Wilder is winning this poll by a country mile which is the right result.

    Wilder never received a fraction of Golovkins hype or praise. He's been a figure of ridicule for the majority of his career.
    He was never highly rated therefore he cannot be overrated.

    Out of that list , Golovkin is by far the most overrated.

    Never been highly rated? Wilder is considered a top 3 HW by main stream media and their pushed narative of Wilder makes easy work of anyone outside of the top 3 certainly overrates Wilder's talent in my opinion.

    Thats because he IS a top 3 HW. Nobody would argue that he doesn't belong in the top 3. He's is a world champ with multiple defenses.

    How exactly does that make him more overrated than GGG who was the P4P#1??? Wilder wouldn't make the P4P top 50

    A below average fighter such as Washington, his jab was causing Wilder problems and was able to win numerous rounds. How do you thing Pulev (arguably the best jab in the divison) would fair against Wilder?

    An below average fighter such Szpilka was causing Wilder problems with his movement and speed was able to win numerous rounds. How do you think Hunter who is quicker, has better movement, more pressure fighter andwho is more powerful than Szpilka will fair against Wilder? Could you imagine him against Usyk?

    The only fighter with any real punching power that Wilder has fought is an out of shape Ortiz with blood pressure issues. How would Wilder fair against the harder hitters of the divison such as AJ, Povetkin, Whyte, Joyce, Rivas, Dubois, Bakole, Ajagba etc will fair against him?

    Wilder might of had mutiple defences but when his second best win on his resume is against Duhaupas, it doesn't really say much.

    I would've gone with Donkey considering he's only fought 3 world class opponents to Spence's 4 and one of them was sick and D level even when healthy, the other was a senior citizen who nearly wasn't allowed out of his dressing before the fight by doctors due to his blood pressure shooting up through the roof, and he won a robbery against the drug-ravaged inactive suicidal shell of the other one, and unlike Spence can't actually fight albeit Spence has only proven his worth against featherfisted career 140 pounders who were or should have been 1-2 in their last 3 fights, blown up 135 pounders and a one-eyed damaged goods 147 pounder. But Spence still takes it for me given his lofty P4P ranking.
