    Chikkensons best win just got KTFO in 30 seconds by a club fighter.

    Eat one.

    Ward/Kovalev winner is head and shoulders the #1 p4p on the planet. :deal:deal:deal

    We can agree on this one.

    Whoever wins Ward/Kovalev (excluding a robbery), deserves to be the new p4p number 1.

    Well that's what P4P is based off of, not entirely based on resume.

    If every active fighter weighed the same War would most likely be the p4p best.

    Well, actually, P4P does not have a definition that we all must follow. Sort of up to the beholder how they weigh accomplishments vs. their opinion of ones' skill.

    I rank pretty much exclusively by resume. That's how I do it. You do it differently, everybody is going to do it differently because the criteria can't be mapped out and consistently followed.

    P4P is mythical and open to interpretation. Many people believe it was started to garner more interest in the lower weight classes during the reign of SRR. Spread the wealth so to speak in a sport dominated to that point by heavyweights.
    As it is, a lot depends on how the fight unfolds if it's lackluster and dull their claim will be tentative. A couple of months later and say chocalito dominates a good opponent or Triple G blows away say Canelo then ppl will claim that person is the p4p on the other hand if Ward or Kovalev puts on a dominant performance (KO early or dominant boxing display) it will be hard to unseat them from their position unless they lose or become inactive in the future.

    Truth.

    I just only factor accomplishments because it removes that extra bit of my personal opinion and preference of fighting styles. To those who use "the eye test" and only decipher based on their opinion of skill, well, then those people could list 10 prospects in their "top 10 P4P" with less than 5 fights each and who would anyone be to disagree or debate that?

    Everybody likes what they like.

    I know some people are into that sort of fetish. I won't judge you.

    Interesting.

    You must be a big mofo if you think Kovalev and Ward are midgets.
