Mayweather states that Bud is P4P No.1 right now

Bud is like the #4 WW right now.

 

Your logic doesn't make any sense. If Bud was dominating then why would he look for a way out by hitting Khan low? Fighters who throw low blows often do so when they are looking for a way out, not the other way around.

Khan was being outpointed early on, but as the rounds went on, Khan started landing and finding success. In fact right when Bud low blowed him Khan had just landed one of his best combos. Bud never been hit like that in his life, and he started to doubt himself. So he cowardly hit Khan low. That's what happened. No fighter who was about to get beat up by Amir Khan and chose to take the easy way out by low blowing Amir Khan should be anywhere near P4P #1.

 

He's done nothing in the weightclass. He shot himself in the foot resigning to Top Rank. Pac just beat Thurman. Spence just beat Porter. Porter, Thurman, and Danny had that round robin. Crawford has stagnated. It's a tragedy.

 

lol I'm a Khan megafan? Bud was getting lit up by Khan right before he threw that low blow out of frustration. Bud never been hit like that before, he was seein stars.

The sad part is what you said though, that Khan did look like crap for the first couple of rounds. But Bud couldn't get him outta there. Bud couldn't get him outta there. Khan weathered that early storm survived it then started timing Bud and getting to work. Khan mighta shocked the world if Bud didn't take the easy way out. Bud couldn't hurt or stop Amir Khan clean. Literally "won" via low blow. It's an absolute joke that someone who resorted to low blowing Amir Khan is anywhere near P4P #1.

 

I'm nuts? Really, for pointing out what happened? Bud couldn't get "glass-jawed" Amir Khan outta there, was getting lit up by Khan and proceeded to low blow Khan and won that way. That's what happened, don't be mad at me for pointing out what happened.

 

This

 

P4P #1 w/o a meaningful win, nor any really good wins in his current division. Maybe it time some of you stop giving two shits about silly P4P lists...

 

I've said before and I'll say it again. P4P is about skills and how you perform, it's not about resume although being in there with top competition is important to showcasing just how skilled you are. If you perform well vs top competition that should be taken into consideration as it's easier to perform well against lower level fighters.

At its core it's about how well rounded you are as a boxer. Can you adopt to various styles, how fundamentally sound you are, how eye catching are the punches you land, how accurate are you as a puncher, how well do you block, do you have upper bodty movement, do you have good punch variety, are you a good body puncher, etc. Bud is a good fighter but he is very stiff and has basic footwork. Loma has the best footwork in the sport, but footwork only gets you so far, in other areas he is lacking like as a puncher.

Canelo is the clear #1 P4P and has been for some time. He is the most well rounded by far and it's not even close.

 

Bud and Spence Jr.. US's answer to Calzaghe and Ottke?

 

The khan fight was supposed to be a nice highlight reel K.O for TC. For a guy who people say is so dangerous it was pretty telling he couldn't properly K.O khan, and he was landing clean. You see his power is not so impressive fighting someone close to his size. Yeah spence would beat him for sure, and I think spence is highly overrated. But he is about 5'10 and solid.

 

It absolutely does factor in resume. Anyone can look like SRR with the right level of opposition. Andre Berto is a prime example. Got a belt, got gimme after gimme easy title shots, lost when stepped up comp.
