    Yes he is, one the criteria of p4p fighter is knocking people out of the ring, no other current p4per is doing that.

    As said below. Also a top 10 LHW.
    Hopkins in his last fight took Kovalev 12 rounds

    Froch often missed and came forward throwing punches and he didnt beat anyone like Hopkins. He was P4P

    nah not yet, his win of fonfara was pretty sweet but caught him with a couple of great shots, he does have heavy hands after all. i cant see him beating the top crop. his fight with hopkins cant really count to much for P4P. great name on resume but way past it and most expected something like this unless hopkins ground out the points win. Fonfara had a bad night in that fight. however not p4p yet. Needs some more relevant scalps

    No why would he be? He came on the scene knocking out Fonfara and 51 year old Hopkins. He had a great year but to put him over every other good fighter who had a solid year as well is ludicrous.

    Ward
    Loma
    Gonzalez
    KOVALEV
    Crawford
    Rigo
    Canelo
    Thurman
    Frampton
    Golovkin
    Pacquaio

    Does Joe Smith Jr, deserve a spot above these guys? No way.

    He beat Fonfara, who I've never been very high on. And
    he beat a 52 year old Hopkins that hadn't fough in 2 years
    and in his last fight was pounded on for 12 rounds by
    one of the hardest hitters in the sport.

    Please put the win in perspective, if anything, Joe is
    lower level top 10 in the LHW division.

    P4P? Gimme a break

    Yeah true but I'm betting it took some time for Froch and that's what we are all saying with Smith,give him time as I think he could be a real star as we seen with GGG folk love a good KO?
