the top 10 p4p list in 5 years time

Ike Ibeabuchi came out of nowhere and at one point in time was considered Lewis's heir apparent; he has great stamina, chin, power and was skilled. Thing about him was nobody knew who he was; he just came fresh onto the scene and impressed the hell outta everybody but giving Tua a helluva fight and subsequently stopping Byrd in 5. Conversely, Dominic Guinn, Joe Mese and TOS Williamson were considered the next Tyson, Holyfield and Lewis. The all turned out to be duds. The point is predicting a p4p list 5 years down the road is an exercise in futility. You can't accurately predict 5 years down the road and you certainly can't preclude any particular group of fighters who hail from whatever continent.

Don't be shortsighted.

 

P4P lists compare current fighting ability not historical resume. Unless you think that Wlad will be, in absolute terms, a significantly better fighter in 5 years than he is now, the only way he can be higher on a p4p list is for the quality of the other p4pers to have decreased.

 

Fairly certain that at least 5 of the top 10 on the list aren't even
on anyone's radar. Ward and Alvarez likely will be there as will Broner.
Wlad will be retired and GGG is gonna be like 36, He'll have peaked and
went downhill by then. Everyone else is a toss up.

 

thats more of a wish list than a p4p list.

 

Its simple, i have seen Verdejo and i haven't seen lomachenko. I don't watch olympic boxing

 

You casuals are funny motherf*ckers. Klit can't do anything to become the greatest HW ever, even if he knocks everyone out until he's 50.

 

You can't be the greatest HW ever when you've been knocked out 3 times in your prime by B and C level fighters and without having beat any great fighters. Wlad is definitely an excellent HW, but there is no good argument for making him the GOAT HW.

 

Sorry if this is out of topic but do you guys think Floyd still has a chance to be named fighter of the decade if he retires next year?

 

Exactly.

 

if he simultaneously holds the jww,ww and sww belts(wbc) then yes; with hopkins a distant second.

Don't you think Andre Ward have a better chance than BHop? I don't see BHop sticking around any longer and adding a relevant opponent on his resume.
