8 months is too much time?

I think there were reports of him blowing up to almost 300lbs before the fight too

That Tapia fight last night was embarrassing. He shouldn't be getting sanctioned, and Quigley should be ashamed of his skills.

Jesse Hart is a Top Rank fighter

Do y'all think Diaz will be the toughest foe for Crawford yet or no?

Is he a level above of the likes of Bletran, Burns, Gamboa or Postol or no?

I'll be surprised if he makes weight. How the hell can he make 140 at 33.

I been following this dude for like a decade? Yeah 9 years, that a$$hole won the 08 gold medals. He was lazy as hell.

Peterson fight I might have had as a draw I can't even remember.

I doubt he could win.

Did Pacman die or retire

 

[reservoirdogs]

not bad, I'd put Crawford ahead of Loma and Mikey tho, possibly having Pac or Thurman somewhere in there too

EDIT: okay, not sure about Crawford over Mikey, it depends on how much we count Mikey's pre-lay off resume

I'd also have Rigo lower right now but still in top 10

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Rigo hasn't done anything worthy of being on a p4p list in a long ass time. His recent opponents been worse than Supermans

The way I view P4P is who would win mostly based on skill level overall at an equal weight

Is that flawed? There's a lot of politics in boxing that determine resume and level of competition, good and bad. And realizing fighters at heigher weights may have a different type chin, power, conditioning, etc.

All that considered I don't think there's a fighter on the planet that has the all around skill/talent of Rigeaux he would be my #1. And his best days/prime are prob behind him.

He hasn't beaten anyone in years that are worthy of making him Top 5 p4p....unless you think being almost shut out by Floyd and beating Bradley, Algieri, Vargas, and Rios is enough to make him Top 5 today

They are both undefeated, but Garcia's level of competition has been higher resume wise and Crawford's best win is Viktor Postol....and Mikey has multiple victories better than that.

You typing this while having Rigo at #3

Maybe he ain't top 5 but Ring had him nowhere in sight that's just diarespectful.

You don't get taken off my p4p list because of promoter issues/networks blocking you from fighting, especially when there still hasn't been a fighter who's shown he can actually compete with Rigondeaux to this day imo.


p4p is the name, and p4p, Rigo is still to this day probably the most skilled Boxer on the planet outside of probably Loma. He's undefeated and has been blatantly avoided over and over again by names such as Carl Frampton. That counts to me on my list.


I cant blame fighters for not getting big fights when they are being avoided. The organization is supposed to make these mandatory matchups, but they don't.

I rather go by resume cause even though that's subjective too, it's way less subjective than just eye test.

I mean if we only go by eye est then that's really all over the place...
you could argue basically any prospect there then...
