Wlad 100% deserves to be in the p4p list. He is quietly establishing one of the longest reigns in HW history. Unbeaten for years, fought tons of top 10 ranked guys. In fact, Wlad should be in the top 5 without any question.
Yah, Rigo has no business being discussed in the top 10 at this point. So you see potential in him? Good for you, he may or may not pan out. There are a lot of established fighters who have proven themselves.
sometimes, fighters are unproven. They haven't proved that they are good, but they haven't proved that they are bad either. You kind of have to look at their fights against shitty opposition and say "hey, this guy is doing this or that against shitty opposition that other fighters would not be able to do, he must be good." And then you put your neck on the line and rank them accordingly.
What i am saying is, if you are unproven as you state, you cannot rank them in the p4p rankings at all. potential doesnt mean ****. Thats why I am ok with ward being outside then top 10 at this point. He has proven a ton more than rigo, yet even ward is open for debate at this time. Ward has a signature win, has beaten a lot of top 20 smw's. Rigo is totally unproven, doesnt even have a list of cans under his belt. I would rank a guy like salido ahead of him simply because he has been at the world level for sometime, has a lot of fights and holds a belt. Rigo, no way!
time will tell if I am right or wrong. Either you can shove it down my throat or me down yours. Rigo is already 30 years old or so and it's not like he will be improving drastically. He is already a finished product he just needs to get used to taking punches and going 12 rounds.
Good addition to the list. I think there will be a lot of movement in that list in the coming months.
Of course not. After all, they have have committed the unpardonable sin of being born white and , horror of horrors, not being Americans.
Are you blind people? Just watch Ward vs. Bika, that says it all. This mufo lost that fight and looked like **** all rounds. The same guy struggled to beat Green vegetable at points. He has just one clear win against a blind Kessler, lol.
