New Ring P4P Ratings

I never lose a wink of sleep over P4P rankings. They are only guesswork after all.

 

I wouldn't have Collazo in there ahead of someone like Boots. I'd have Inoue above Usyk, and Bam and Bivol ahead of Shakur. Stevenson at number 3, having never cleaned out any division, is pretty wild as well. Far too high.

 

Shakur at 3 is insane lol

 

They were looking for any excuse to shove him up there.

 

He hasn't fought in forever

 

Activity should matter

 

Only explanation is recently bias. Once Bivol puts on another master class, he'll be in the top 3.

 

Shakur did underrated work at 130. He beat like 4 of the best guys there

 

First two look right, order could be reversed but too close to call.

One good display from Shakur against an overrated Teo doesn't warrant this ranking. Bud would be about here if he didn't retire.

Good to see respect for the midgets but I am not sure about the order between Bam and the two killers at LHW.

I can't see how Haney gets anywhere near this list apart from his demographic, ie politics.

Jai Opetaia is being avoided like the plague, he should be in here somewhere.

 

P4P is meaningless. A supposition based on a fictional scenario. The HW champion is the real kingpin of boxing. But if i were to play the game then i certainly wouldn't prioritise fighter's who hydrate 15-20lbs overnight.

 

Stevenson being above Bivol, Beterbiev and Rodriguez this early is ludicrous.

Shows American bias in their rankings again. Like when they had Adrien Broner at 5th. And when they used to have Timothy Bradley above Wladimir Klitschko.

Also, they are too favourable to lower weight small boxers, 4 of the top 10 is way too much. Especially considering those weight divisions are just every few pounds, and have less boxers and are weaker.

 

I don't see the argument for being above Bam who did very well last year.
