    No, it doesn't. You need to be close to top 10 and consistently show dominant performances.

    Like Cotto beating a crippled Martinez didn't propel him to top 10, Fury's beating poorly performed Klit didn't do it either.

    BTW I have Fury in my top 10 P4P and have known for awhile how horribly underrated his boxing ability is.

    I could see if it was a dominant win, then maybe, just maybe it would force him in. But he wasn't anywhere close to the top of the p4p rankings. How do you justify moving him up X amount of slots on 1 ugly win?

    Just seems guys want what they want, consequences or logic be damned.

    I backed Fury check the Kirk's prediction thread. I've been a big fan of Fury ever since he beat Cunningham. I also stated even before he beat Wlad that he would beat Wilder to. I'm not like you and Hans who hate anything American I like many fighters from the UK including Fury, Froch and Degale. When Calzaghe was active I was a big fan of his to.

    So fury beats p4p at least top 3 best fighter in the world and doesn't deserve a top 10 place

    Yet brook got in after beating Porter, Crawford got in after beating burns and yamanaka got in after beating well not much really

    This version of Gamboa really? I think you overestimate Gamboa at that weight with his total inactivity.
    I know that he is more competent but Broner was a force at LW too. Mostly due to his incredible size advantage. We will see how good is Crawford but for the moment his p4p ranking is pretty generous. GGG is to high I agree with that. But Giampa lists are just **** we all know it and we still spend too much time debating on it.

    Fair post but Gamboa would give anyone at 135 fits his handspeed reflexes and explosive power are alot for anyone to handle.

    He had little or no power at 135 let's be fair. Anthony crolla stoped his best win at 135 and Gamboa only won on points

    He would have a chance and the fight would be very competitive. And crolla is useless but that tells you the level Gamboa is at at 135. Also unlike Crawford crolla isnt a massive lightweight so it would be fairer

    If you guys are saying it's so easy for Americans then why is GGG so high on the list?

    Wlad was proven over many years. 28 title fights, going back to when Fury still had cradle marks on his ar se.

    Because his dominating. Why is ward on the list? Why is Crawford on the list? Why was wlad taken off and Bradley put on and fury didn't get a mention?
