P4P rankings are dumb

Usyk's resume is a level above Joshua in terms of live bodies who can fight back with a plan plus he's a cruiser who relies more on his movement and skills to outclass the other guy, his spot is well deserved.

Joshua on other hand is a big, stiff lad at heavy with all the physical advantages, a 6'6" heavy shouldn't even be on a P4P list which is made to highlight smaller men's accomplishments over different weight divisions.

 

Pound-for-pound lists are deeply rooted in "Could Captain America beat up Batman" mentality so yeah they're dumb. But they are fun dumb, so that's why we do it. As to your original question, Usyk did more than Joshua has in a better division than heavyweight and has now moved up to heavyweight to challenge for a title. More resume accomplishments + more weight-classes = higher ranking. It's...it's not hard.

 

Yes they are fkn dumb.. Canelo is not worthy of p4p 10 lmao

Cherrypicking manufactured fraud.. Gets beat by aged 35/36 year olds then beats f all ay 168 and act like he's some god..

There's all kinds of flaws with the concept...

Where do you put weight bullies, for example?

Someone who cuts for the weigh-in and then balloons up for fight night is going to be a lot bigger than the lbs they're being rated for...
Is someone who cuts harder to fight a couple of divisions below their fightnight weight a better P4P fighter or just a more extreme case?

Then of course heavyweight doesn't fit the model at all, for two reasons... Firstly because nobody cuts weight at heavy and secondly because it's the only group of fighters that would mean squat if we didn't have weight categories to make it possible for smaller guys to fight against people they could actually beat (a bit like the whole reason for having women's categories in sports - in very few sports can the fairer sex get close to equal performance so we have to have a limited entry group to make it more inclusive).

 

It was made to make small guys feel special.

 

If purely based on boxing skill.
1. Lomachenko






















2. Usyk
3. Crawford
4. Golovkin
5. Inoue
6. Estrada
7. Taylor
8. Briedis
9. Canelo
10. GRJ

I don't give a **** if Loma loses 10 more times, he's the best boxer I've ever seen.

 

I'll explain it to you.

Usyk is giving up a handicap to fight AJ at HW. According to the Ring, Usyk could fight at cruiser and dominate down there.

If Giannis decides to play Curry in a 3 point contest, Curry will be the favorite, but that doesn't make him a better ball player than Giannis.

So even though AJ is the favorite, he has a size advantage. The field is not level.

 

I don't know why, given how he's going to beat the absolute **** out of Joshua.

 

If Loma looses 10 more times then he's not the best boxer you've ever seen. Loosing against a kid named Lopez and getting dropped and struggling against Linares doesn't look good. angles, handspeed and infighting look flashy but it's whats affective at elite level that counts. Loma is ATG skilled obviously but guys like Duran, Mosley, Whitaker, Del Boy and Chavez would probably beat him even though Loma "looks" like a fighter from another world.

However it needs to be taken into account that 135 isn't his natural weight class so pfp he is a monster

 

Princess, youre obsessed.

 

Canelo is the best skilled boxer in the game. High Boxing IQ, superb counter punching skills, great chin, great combination puncher, great defensive skills, great body puncher, when you add it all together, that ='s P4P #1!!!!!
