    My top 10's are based on who I think are the best and most deserving based on their overall skill level and how difficult they are to beat, and to a lesser extent their records factored in as well.

    4 Brits as number 1

    The Special One beats Pacquiao and Bradley too, and Frampton and Quigg shatter Rigo's glass jaw. :happy

    I agree with you on Frampton and Quigg beating Rigo after that abominable Francisco performance. Brook beats Bradley, and yes even maybe Pacquiao.:think

    Brook probably beats Journeyman Pacquiao TM at ths point in tam

    Heres my P4P Rankings

    1. GGG
    2. Kovalev
    3. ChocalEEto
    4. Butterbeef

    Special notes

    1. JMM is always no.1 but has been inactive to the point of retirement, hence he non inclusion on my list

    2. I base my rankings on who i deem the best, as in this day and age of rampant ducking, cherrypicking, catchdraining, and negotiation table crippling, its now the only way you can do it :deal

    Why do you have P4P in the title of this thread?

    Boxing fans are so obsessed with P4P lists they've forgotten what it's even supposed to mean.

    How are their records and opposition factored in "to a lesser extent" than personal opinion of skill?

    Not being a d!ckhead but that really is extremely silly.

    The ratio of what you use to weigh their merits should be completely flip flopped and then some.

    Yet another one of your many epic fails in that department.

    Because I know instinctively Verdejo is better than Takahiro Ao and Edis Tatli, regardless of how superior their opposition to date has been.

    I was getting bleary eyed by the time I got down to 115, and the Cuadras match was still fresh in my mind and he did well towards the end, which caused me to edge Srisaket out of it, I 'll think it over, I went back and forth.:conf

    I can't wait to see your top 50 prospects mate and this is a very good list

    It seems that some fans have to wait and watch one of there hero's get bashed before they give a fighter any credit which is not what knowledgeable boxing fans should be about. Anyone who's seen bivol and know his pedigree knows he would batter 99% of the division

    :goodYeah people get caught up with name recognition on resumes way too much on here, I said for weeks Beterbiev would smash Cloud and Gonzalez would give Pascal a run for his money on here because I knew how legit they are, that's all you really need to know sometimes. Granted I can be wrong sometimes.

    Not everybody unemployed, dude. I have no idea how you manage to spend so much time on ESB and not live in your mother's basement. Perhaps you do after all?
