    Based on ability.

    Before this week Teddy Atlas had Lomachenko in his top 10, despite having one fight against a journeyman.

    Some opinions in the pub differed from what a pound for pound list should be.

    Teddy Atlas?

    LOL, that's even worst than the pub. At least the dudes at the pub have the excuse of being drunk. Teddy, he has no excuse for being an idiot. :rofl

    Loma being on anybody's PRO p4p list is insane. Even more insane then Kell Brook.

    I could name 50 fighters right now who deserve to be ranked higher on "the pound for pound list." Not exaggerating, either.

    Of these 10 boxers, which one of them is on the P4P list, would be a more reasonable question :tong

    Froch caught one while he was squared up bang on the chin from a guy transferring his weight into the punch with a full foot pivot and complete rotation of the hip. I think it may be neurologically almost impossible for froch to be knocked out.

    But Brook was in with better fighters that was his own size, despite their resumes. Broner was beating on people much smaller than him, hence why he shouldn't be on "pound for pound lists", the same reasons I think Wlad shouldn't as he's fighting guys much smaller than him normally.

    And unlike Broner, Brook didn't have a load of gift decisions. If Bradley wasn't permitted to move up above Pacquiao when he got a gift, Broner should stay below Ponce, Quintero and Paulie.

    Better than Mayweather how, might I ask?

    The Mattysse fight is impressive. What beyond that? Eating punches from a 35 year old Judah and from a 90 year old Morales? Honestly I didn't think he took Matthysse's punches or even Judah's in the last 3 rounds in grand style that made me think "damn that man is made of iron..."

    Lucas hit with a straight right that made his made-to-fit gumshield fly out of his mouth.

    Reason you didn't realise that the Lucas fight displayed his iron chin is because when Garcia did get hit, his ability to absorb the punch allowed him to assimilate what happened, move and reset.

    Well how often does Mayweather take haye makers on the jaw? The answer is a lot less often than pretty much anyone else on the list.

    Which is a compliment I guess, but if Mayweather fought every fight like Froch does then I imagine we may have seen him badly hurt or on the canvas more often.
