    Where would you rank the winner in the current P4P rankings??

    It depends on the manner of victory. It's hard to give either Klitschko a P4P ranking because they are usually much bigger than most of their opponents, I'm sur Pac-man, JMM, Mosely etc would look even more impressive if they were fighting guys that were smaller than them - that isn't meant to be a criticism of the K bros, it's just the way it is with heavyweights.

    Yeah I kinda think the whole deal about p4p is to get recognition for smaller guys in the lighter divisions because clearly they couldn't match it with a light heavy - heavyweight head to head..

    But surely that's a little unfair to the HW's isn't it!?!!?
    Tyson was P4P#1 at HW...and nobody complained about Hearns being much bigger than his contemporary WW's when he was P4P#1!!!
    I really do not like Wlad at all, but I think he deserves #10 spot P4P now. Yes his division is very weak, but so is Chad Dawson's and there are a lot of people saying he should be in there!!

    Yes, but Hearns was the same weight as the guys he was fighting and Tyson in some cases was smaller than them.

    I agree that it is unfair on the heavyweights, especially big ones like the K bros but I'm sure they'll live. To the casual fan heavyweight champion of the world is still more prestigeous than P4P king.

    could go as high as top5 depending on how the fight plays out. I already have Vitali in my top10 and Wlad probably just entered my top15 with his last performance.

    The pd 4 pd rankings are growing old, and losing their point nowadays. People really put too much into them. It's just guesswork. Personally, unless the heavyweight was really small, I never put heavyweights in my Pd 4 pd.

    Absolutely Wlad should be in the top 10, he should have been in there for a long time just do to his skill and the dominance of his division.

    Guys like Pavlic, Hatton were in the top 10 yet people were reluctant to put Wlad in there? Are you serious that Wlad is not more skilled than those guys and more dominant in his division? Of course he is.
