    I wouldn’t say Hopkins did. Tito at 160 and a 38 y/o Tarver is a stretch.

    That applies to most ATG heavyweight tbh. Not a lot of prime PFP greats at heavyweight.

    Listing Heavyweights would make this thread very unproductive.

    I say GGG, regardless of whether or not you think he beat Canelo

    I would say it's debatable Golovkin is in the top 100.

    For example @McGrain didn't have Tyson in his top 100 and I'd rate Tyson above Golovkin.

    Very subjective.. top 100 p4p fighter .. who gets to decide whether said fighters are top 100 or not.. let alone the massively flawed concept of p4p.. I mean there's been 1000s of great Fighters under queensbury.. its hard for all of them to have someome from a consensus top 100 just on a sheer statistical basis.. someone mentioned Usyk.. no doubt an ATG.. hasn't fought one HOF fighter yet.. there are three individuals on his resume who have a possibility of being considered one day tho.. Fury, Joshua, Breidis.. their Prime is subjective and none of them will break the 100 list.. if such a thing exists.. does that make me think less of Usyk.. no .. I think he would stack up in any era. Kostya Tszyu is another one.. great fighter.. probably doesn't have a win that falls under your category tho. There are 1000s like him.. its an exclusive club that has one.

    Here's a few I can think of:
    Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya, Mike McCallum, Ricardo Lopez, there's probably more but those are the ones that come to my mind

    The post was more about how Canelo was unnecessarily thrown under the bus in the other guy’s post.

    Boxrec's list actually had Tyson outside the top 200.

    I'd say ODLH would slot into a top 100 P4P list quite comfortably.

    Right, but he wasn’t prime at 160.

    You could also add Tito to the list if you don’t recognize the DLH verdict.
