    ATG technique wise. However his frame, and power brings down his physicality. People tend to neglect frame when it comes to p4p arguments. The man is consistently fighting bigger opponents. People who have never boxed don't know how much harder it is to box a lengthier person vs a shorter person.

    Compare this to Crawford who many ranks #1 or #2. The dude was a massive 140lber and now at 147 he is still big for the weight class. 5'8 with 74 inch reach and walking around 177 pounds (heavier than most middleweights).

    People that dominate above their optimum weight class should have higher p4p ranking. There's less credit when you are heavier and lengthier than the average person in your weight class.
