    And even more pathetic is fighters who buy into that nonsense and like to talk about it, especially as if it means something if it were a legit concept. It changes every 6 months. Who was your P4P top 10 in 2004. I don't know and don't care to know.

    Promoters and fans, yeah sure have at it with your imaginary lists but things like this:

    CRINGE

    Thankfully Usyk & Fury don't buy into this nonsense like Canelo & Crawford do. You know why? Because Fury and Usyk don't need made up titles with no historical value to feel good about themselves.

    Sorry to be Mr.Negative if I've rustled anyone's sensibilities

    If Tyson Fury was p4p #1 you would love p4p.

    If a $100 dollar bill had Tyson Furys face on it and a dick, you would **** it.

    Yep, P4P is nothing more than a popularity contest

    Kazuto Ioka is a 4-division champion, with titles in more divisions than most active boxers today. But he rarely gets included on P4P lists, and if he does it’s near the very bottom, because he’s an unknown little Japanese guy

    P4P is barely worth thinking about

    Sugar Nikolai Valuev is still the top P4P fighter in my opinion. All these other guys are too little for him.

    Fun fact: 18 consecutive title defence Wlad was "P4P" number 2 (behind 104-114 lbs Roman Gonzalez, who went on to comprehensively lose twice to an unknown 20-1 underdog: an anomaly in the higher weight classes) when Fury pitched a shutout against him in his backyard, causing Wlad to be removed from the "P4P" list altogether!

    A lot of fighters take it seriously though and if you believe that your opponent is this ultra-elite "P4P" fighter then it can potentially be intimidating. Usyk's "P4P" status was likely one of the many factors that had AJ shook.

    The problem is it's a bit of a nebulous term as it means slightly different thing to different people. I would place people like Usyk or Loma well above Bud as although he is very good his resume is pretty weak but that's just my opinion.

    P4P is just so the little boys can feel big, its all subjective nonsense.
    If you've won all the belts in the division you should be forced to move up, no one should ever move down or if they do, they should be forced to box in a pink tutu.
    Theres only one true king, and thats the unified undisputed HW champ (when he is finally crowned)

    The whole idea of P4P is meaningless, nothing more than an opinion. Real rankings of fighters are decided in the ring, period.
