Is it just me or is the idea of P4P pointless. There is so much subjectivity when rating fighters that there can be no right or wrong answer. This is especially true when comparing boxers from different eras. There are countless factors that are impossible to sumarise and debates can never conclude. Performance, exciting?, focus, record, opponents, weight division, nationality, experience, POPULARITY, marketability etc are all factors that influence peoples rankings. Some debates are fine but it seems to me that it ends up being about diminishing each boxers achievements in order to find an answer. Then you get ignorant people reading through these posts and locking into thier memory all the negative things about great boxers.
not completely useless if you're a businessman(promoter), this P4P ratings affect the marketability of a fighter, flawed or not its not really completely wrong..arguably correct depending on who's analyzing. thats why i agree from a thread before asking if ESB should have its own P4P list...and requirements on who gets to vote should be screened properly..if thats possible, because i still think that this is the best website forum now.
