Who do you think will be P4P #1 in 3 years?

He is too small to take the coveted top spot despite his boxing gifts.

Its politics and lack of real opposition at the weight, as they have shorter careers than the big guys.

I pick Cotto to be at the top in 3 years if not sooner.

 

Floyd Mayweather after a stunning comeback where he defeats Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams.

 

Gamboa is the future

 

Cotto, Gamboa

 

Cotto if he gets by this one.
Mayweather Jr. if he returns next year.

Amir Khan if he can round himself out, a big if but his offensive side is great he just needs the defensive side.

 

I doubt it will be Mijares. His style won't carry up weights well (I just don't see him having enough pop to do damage at 122 and up), and being that he's the type to seek out challenges, eventually he'll bite off more than he can chew.

Maybe not #1, but I'm guessing Juan Manuel Lopez will be very close to the top. By that time he should be a three weight-class champ.

 

It's not often that somebody in such a low weight class as Mijares tops the p4p rankings, my pick would be Cotto still atm.

 

guzman, gamboa, jmm, berto

 

mijares or haye

 

Guzman and JMM are too old for their size to be there three years from now.

 

I think Mijares and Cotto are probably the strongest choices that one can make off the data we have right now. However, if David Haye can get up to heavyweight and dominate like he did at crusier then I believe he would have an exceptionally strong case. For as much as I like Kelly Pavlik and would have no trouble putting him at P4P #1 should he beat Hopkins, Abraham, and Calzaghe within the next year, I think that's less likely than Cotto and Mijares staying undefeated against good competition.

I need to see Gamboa in another world class fight before I evaluate him for something this distant.

 

I would say cotto or haye if he as a big impact at heavyweight. Khan maybe in the Next five years because warren needs to put him in with legitimate 135 fighters domestically first like john murray.

 

He might come back, but he will definitely not be clearing out any divisions..

Here are three possible people I could see sitting at the #1 P4P spot in three years..

01. Miguel Cotto He has pretty much already cleared out the division with the exceptions of Williams and Clottey.. If Cotto can beat Margo as well as defeating Clottey and Williams, I see him ruling the division for a long time unless he has a try at some of the 154lb fighters..

02. Kelly Pavlik If he can get past Hopkins, and beat Abraham or even Calzaghe, he could definitely make his claim as the #1 P4P fighter in the world

03. Cristian Mijares Already top ten P4P, he's not far from the #1 spot, but I really don't see him claiming the spot.. I see a lot of fighters around his division that could possibly give him a defeat..

Another person I could see #1 P4P three years down the road is Joan Guzman.. He has the talent and skills to, but I can see him losing to either Campbell or Pacquiao, but he wouldn't drop far at all.. He'll definitely improve throughout the years and become a definite top 10 P4P fighter..
