I don't think you should rank people based on what you think they will do. I think what they've already done is more important. This is why I don't like the high ranking of Loma basing it off that he will beat Lopez. I agree that he probably will but since he hasn't done it yet we shouldn't be rewarding him for a fantasy victory.
I can, look. Looking at that fight, Loma was in first gear for the first half of it because he listens to everything his dad tells him and does it, it worked up until that point in his career but they simply had the wrong gameplan for Teo. When Loma decided it was time to stop with the bull****, he went up a few gears and dominated the later half of the fight. His dad banked on Teo gassing out completely but Teo fought smart and conserved a lot of energy so once Loma saw that he probably lost 5 rounds, he stepped up and dropped 1 round in the later half of the fight.
Any p4p lost that doesn’t have Canelo #1 is bias and not to be taken seriously, saying that you triple groupies need to give it a rest ya boy lost and will be quickly forgotten while Canelo going down as a legend
What a freakin idiotic thing to say. This is confirmation of your delusion... go buy some anti-psychotics meds, you need them
For his whole career, fans have been complaining that Crawford hasn't fought the fighters that he should have fought (Spence, Thurman, etc). He wasn't allowed to fight the best because the best fighters in his weight class weren't under the Top Rank banner and his promoter Bob Arum wouldn't make those fights. Do you understand how that's being protected? Crawford was being protected his whole career by only being allowed to fight a limited level of opposition. OK now Canelo on the other hand never had that problem, his whole career he's fought the best possible opponents. Even when his promoter advised him not to fight Floyd Mayweather for example, Canelo fought him anyway. So he's the most un-protected fighter in the sport in that sense. In that he fought, for the most part, the best opponents he could fight and the fights that the fans wanted to see. (Lara, GGG, etc) Now, you can make the argument that he didn't fight Bivol or Beterbiev yet, but compared to a fighter like Crawford he hasn't been "protected" from making those kind of fights. Just the fact that he fought on Showtime / PBC to fight Plant, shows how unprotected he is in the sense that he's not tied to a specific network or to a specific list of fighters who fight for the same promoter. So that's what I mean by Canelo not being protected by his promoter like Crawford was. Now I know what you and others mean by protected. You're talking about conspiracies about the judges, rehydration clauses in some of his fights, and believing that he gets A-side advantages. So we're talking about two different things. You're version of what protected means vs what protected really means in terms of in terms of the level of opposition that he's taken on, unlike somebody like Crawford who hasn't taken on the best because he's been protected due to his promoter. Comprende?
1. Canelo 2. Crawford 3. Usyk 4. Fury 5. Lopez 6. Inoue 7. Lomachenko 8. Spence 9. Taylor 10. Beterbiev
Any current p4p list has to have Canelo, Usyk and Crawford as the top 3. They can be in any order you want but they have to be in the top 3 otherwise your list is comical.
