    P4P is very simple to explain. If you're a heavyweight like Fury shrunk down to the size of Terrence Crawford but still possessing all the HW power and punch resistance of a 260lbs man and also getting a nice speed boost to supplement things would you still be as dominant? The answer is no. You'd be even more dominant since no one would be able to hurt you and a jab would send fighters flying. Or conversely, if you were a fighter with the skills of Alvarez blown up to Fury's size but forced to lumber about in a heavyweight's body would you still kick ass? No, because you'd punch like a middleweight and have the punch resistance of one, and even feather fist Parker would be able to put your lights out. So P4P rankings are no more than the champs in each weight division from HW down.

    P4P is make believe nonsense. The only sports where it matters are olympic weightlifting and powerlifting where you can just divide the amount of weight lifted with the bodyweight of the lifter. Who has the highest ratio is P4P strongest. I wish boxing ditched this P4P bollocks.

    Lmao you're such a clown. Fury took unbeaten Chisora's "0" and then knocked him out fighting entirely from the southpaw stance when they fought again. But sure, he "ducked" him. Lmao you must check under the bed at night to make sure if there isn't a 6'8'' gipsy under there. Or hey, maaybe you'd like exactly that....

    "p4p king" is a joke.
    In boxing you become a champion, a "king", "the man", by defeating the reigning king .... or by beating a load of guys ranked in the top of your class.

    It's ridiculous to have a rankings list where the "king", the #1 guy, is ahead of a bunch of guys he's very unlikely to ever face, they aren't actual professional rivals at all, and often won't even be competing against common opponents.

    That’s understandable. She has probably received some good pounding.
