    Knew this would happen called it days ago. If fury won wlad would get dropped from the ranks ,fury wouldn't get added and americans would get slowly moved up the rankings

    All that happened everyone moved up a place and Bradley got brought back into the top ten lmfao

    Wlad should have been there p4p number 2 at the time of the fury fight, fury has a vry clear win and it's the best win any fighter in boxing has yet they didn't put him in there top 10 lmfao

    If fury repeats the win I'll agree, at he moment it could easily be another Douglas/tyson Ali/spinks etc

    I don't think this is the passing of the torch some are making it out to be.

    No one had a better win than Douglas beating tyson or Rahman knocking out Lewis, didn't automatically make them p4p material.

    This could be a Liston/Ali situation but until that's proven I'm going to reserve judgement.

    like it or not Vlad got rated so high because he was on top for so long, Tyson just got on top.

    Then how is Crawford at number 6?lmfao he beat terrible guys in the lightweight division and has done nothing at light welterweight. His bug win is against a ring rusty fat Cuban who shouldn't have ever fought higher than featherweight . And on top of that his a weightdrainer who enjoys a massive size advantage. The ring are all for pushing him up the list though

    Promoting a couple of US fighters is, but not having Fury in there is perfectly legit. It wasn't like it was some masterful performance like some claim, it was about Wlad doing virtually nothing for 11 rounds.

    Exactly. ONE win can't bring you from #40 to top 3 p4p.

    Yes I believe Wlad should be dropped based on his last couple performances.

    But Fury still hasn't moved up all that much in my eyes. That fight was far more about what Wlad didn't do than it was about what Fury did.

    It was closer to Ali vs Spinks then Liston vs Ali.

    Purely by eye test though they are a lot better from a technical standpoint, fury is clumsy and doesn't throw punches with correct technique.

    Do you think Douglas should have been p4p number 1 after he beat mike tyson?

    This. Wlad handed him the titles purely by the fact that he wasn't throwing punches.

    To put it in perspective fury only landed 14 more punches than haye...

    When you think P4P, does it conjure Fury's image in anyone's mind?
