Discuss. I've come across many forums where people say that Wlad should be #1 p4p, not Floyd because Wlad has beaten the best of the best in his weight class.
No... Floyd has never lost.. Wlad has lost 3 times and has two unavenged defeats... Floyd is a multi division title winner. Wlad has never even been a standout guy in the one and only division he's ever fought in.. Floyd has beaten better opponents on a p4p scale than Wlad, even though neither man's win list is stellar.
inb4 Gained, Vladimir23, Bremen, Jisi, Manning all them racist scumbags claiming that Wlad is P4P #1.
Apparently thinking Wlad is the best is "racist". I think that if there was anything worse then racism it would be the morons who benefit from racism by pulling out the race card.
A so called champ gets no love for me if they took a L and wasn't man enough, to redeem themselves, I'll be damned if I get ko'ed and call my brother as a grown ass man
No.. obviously not.. Floyd has won titles in multiple divisions, never lost and has an overall better resume.

No, it's not. Wlad is good, by no means as good as Floyd (not even remotely, come on) but easily #1 in his division, possibly top 15 all time. The users I mentioned are clearly biased though. How about you ask one of them who their favourite active black boxer is? I've never seen one of them in an RBR thread that didn't include Wlad/Vitali or other caucasian boxers, ever. I'm a big fan of Wlad but I ****ing hate his fans. They're a ****ing plague on ESB and easily the worst "supporters" any boxer on ESB has. Using a liberal, open-minded role-model like Wlad, who hangs around with black boxers and trainers all the time, as a proof for white supremacy is disgraceful.
