    When i refer to pound for pound i look at who's achieved more in their respective weight class(s). Thats why Canelo and Usyk are high on my list but Fury is right. Its all a bunch of hypotheticals.

    Concept most likely might end that we till end of this year will not see UNDISPUTED.
    This is what this is. Despite both for me looks not bad lads, business is business and there we are listening nice talks about unproven Usyk in forums and instead Pulev in the ring and post covid shadow from old legless Povetkin's ghost remainings. And Chisora vs Usyk.

    Since autumn 2020 btw.

    Why don't boxing use UFCs P4P system?

    It's the Americans who make the P4P look even more ridiculous by placing their fighters high up on the list undeservedly.

    They had Jarret Hurd and the Charlos in the top 10, and somehow had Spence in the top 5 above Inoue and Usyk.

    What about Fury? He has won every single belt. Schooled a 10-year super champion. Battered a 5-year monster champion

    Isn't it obvious ? Fury has achieved everything. He is the greatest boxer of all time. Went toe to toe with the heavyweight destroyer and beat him down and put on a masterclass against prime Klitschko (and ducked the rematch) Nobody can touch Fury (Wallin did), Fury is a giant at 6'10, 290lb and he has a chin made of steel (even though he was put down by 210lb cunningham) When he one shots bum femi Joshua he'll cement his legacy as the GOAT. He simply cannot be beaten
    (he already lost to McDermott)

    Jokes aside Fury's up there. But the reality is Aj has the better resume. Now if Fury beats Aj convincingly that automatically puts him in the top 3 if not number 1

    The 5 year monster champion cannot box, fought a bunch of bums and ignored his mandatory challenger Dereck chisora for years.

    P4P is more of an essence than quantity, yes. It's not made of fairy dust though. Record + Performances.

    If Tyson Fury took on everyone, and looked good every time, you could make a case for #1. Too inactive though.

    His criticism is partly designed to rubbish the fact he's unlikely to be #1. Probably thinks the P4P 'crown' unfairly steals his thunder as boxing's absolute king.

    But in the real world what would a boxer rather be : #1 heavyweight OR #1 "p4p" .... it's a no brainer.

    It's a silly concept. The idea of flyweights, welterweights, junior-bantamweights, super-middleweights and cruisers and heavies, etc. all competing on a "top 10" rankings ladder against each other is pure nonsense.

    That is hilarious. Tyson is like an overgrown David Brent. Some of the stuff he comes out with is absolute gold.
