All the #1 p4p since 20 years
Re: All the #1 p4p since 20 years
That list seems highly inaccurate.
Re: All the #1 p4p since 20 years
So Lomachenko is your #1 P4P fighter when he lost just 3 years ago? I think you all have missed the point of this P4P thing. If you haven't proven that you're the best in your own division then you really can't call that fighter a top P4P fighter.
GGG is the #1 P4P in the world right now. Stop slighting this kid already, he deserves it. He deserved it when Roman Gonzales and his circus freak weight class held the imaginary title and he definitely deserves to hold it now that RG lost the same night GGG got his best quality win yet.

Roy Jones might be right, but that's it.

Re: All the #1 p4p since 20 years
In terms of accomplishments and impressive feats, I would have rated Oscar De La Hoya above Roy Jones Jr. in 1997 & 1998, because his level of opposition was much higher. However, I appreciate you’ve used the “eyeball test” to justify Jones Jr’s rating above the Golden Boy’s for those years.
I also would have rated Mayweather Jr. as the pound-for-pound best between 2012 & 2015, because he faced better opposition and looked more impressive during those years than Guillermo Rigondeaux & Vasyl Lomachenko.
It looks as though you’ve never been much of a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fan?
I would have rated Roman Gonzalez above Vasyl Lomachenko for 2016, even though the Nicaraguan is clearly not very comfortable as a super flyweight.
It's also too early to rate 2017's best boxer.
I can’t complain too much about your rating for the other years, since there’s nothing unreasonable about your favoured boxers.
