    Agreed, Gamboa is small for that weight. And it wasn't Crawford's size, otherwise he would've won the first 3 rounds. Once he found his range and timing, it was over.

    Man the GGG hypetrain is real. No way should he be that high. Wow.

    This is the lowest the Ring has been in terms of credibility in decades...Golovkin at 4 for knocking out dummies and a couple of contenders

    Estrada has done more and beaten/fought better fighters in the lower division then GGG. Crawford at 135 is the same as well not to mention both have moved up and already are staking a claim as one of the best in a higher weight.

    When GGG does something noteworthy I'll give him much credit but he is nowhere near P4P just based of comp level.

    Well we'll have to agree to disagree. His size played a role but he did what he had to do. I don't think he was getting outboxed after the 3rd round.

    And you're right about Crawford being top 10 P4P, I don't think he should be.

    Sounds like wishful thinking on your part, inferiority complex about America, you probably picked Gamboa in the fight. :roflWhat county are you from? It took Crawford no more than 3 rounds to adjust to Gamboa's speed and he went to work after that. Crawford is a thinking man's fighter he figures guys out so he always starts slow. When he got started he took Gamboa apart and in exciting fashion.

    Gonzalez should be top 3 P4P so Estrada losing a decision isn't that bad a loss. As weak as LW is MW is weaker, GGG has fought 1 guy who's ever been good enough to win a title in his career.

    Also you comment on Crawford's opponent in his first 140 fight meanwhile the thought of GGG moving up 1 division seems to terrify his superfans.

    I agree Kovalev is imo top 5 but i thought the bases of p4p was the best boxers in the world in terms of overall skills regardless of weight class or resume.

    why?

    he would

    1. destroy anybody in his division
    2. destroy floyd at their comfy weight of 154 - NO other boxer could do that

    Hmmm, so the official p4p list in a minority owned
    publication that is still considered the "bible of
    boxing" has the top 10 rankings as such, culturally.
    4 white men
    3 black men
    2 asians
    and
    1 latino
    This has to be the worst day ever for anti-white
    fighters critics.:D

    :happy:happy

    Who in the f--k is Estrada and who has he fought? Is
    he some fictitious latino that you've created because
    the p4p list only has 1 latino on it? Geez, how pathetic.
