    If it's about the best pure boxer then Loma, or Rigo for me.

    Resume? Then Ward, Joshua, Horn, Rungvisai etc all should make a top 10 list surely?

    If it's about future potential then Usyk, Spence etc deserve a shout..

    If it's about being established then Ward, GGG, Crawford, Canelo, Thurman, Garcia, Inoue, LSC.. All deserve a place.

    Size? Beating bigger men?! That's what got
    Donaire a place back when wasn't it?!

    So many variables.

    I don't believe in P4P, neither does Golovkin, but the most skilled fighter I have ever seen is Lomachenko.

    Golovkin has to knock Alvarez out to get a draw. We all know the judges, referree and boxing commission are owned by Oscar, the judges know they can get away with any bad decision, no matter how bad. If Golovkin knocks Alvarez down in every round, Oscar's judges will still give the decision to Alvarez, that's how Vegas judges are, not to mention Vegas referees, such as Tony Weeks and boxing commission and liar Bob Bennett, who knew he could get by with anything.........................Testicle blows are illegal and always have been, except for the Kovalev/SOB fight, the video shows it, so do the still pictures, yet they still lied..................Max said during the interview to SOB that those were kind of borderline low blows, when he should have protested and HBO should have insisted on a disqualification and ban Tony Weeks..................and Bob Bennett..................I hope they don't try the same in the Golovkin fight, but nothing would surprised me at all.................

    The winner goes at number 1. Ward doesnt deserve the top spot due to the disgraces that were the Two Kovalev fights where he cheated and benefited from Corruption to get the victory and derail a great fighter like Kovalev's career.

    Kovalev beat SOB two times, the first by decision, the second by disqualification because Ward broke the rules by hitting to the testicles three times in a row, very low...................

    No the winner shouldn't be considered best p4p. P4P isn't just about resume, it's as much ability and skill, dominance, versatility, and even potential. Loma, Ward, and Crawford are better than GGG and Canelo. You're wrong if you don't see it, and that's all there is to it. Rigo is too, but he's so inactive that I don't care if anyone else still rates him highly p4p. I also doubt I'd consider the winner over Inoue and Mikey Garcia. Unlike these guys, GGG and Canelo have lost rounds, got hit too much, and barely won close fights against lesser foes.

    I don't want to go on go on too much making the case though, because we should all love this fight, and it's still two guys 'among' the very best, which we don't get too often. It's the most important fight and best matchup of the year, nothing less, and doesn't need to be labelled as for best p4p to further inflate it. It's about career legacy for both in taking on their toughest challenge, about middleweight greatness, about boxing's continued importance, and just a damn great, well-matched fight on its own, between two skilled destroyers.
