Are Mayweather, Ward, and Rigondeaux the world's 3 best fighters?

In terms of pure skills, probably yes. But 'best fighters', that's a loose term that can be open to interpretation.

rigo is my number 3 right now p4p based on his skill set and the amaziong fact he has done so much with so little fights. rigo didn't need the hype he needs to leave top rank and get with al haymon.

Originally posted by APPONO ASTOSmaybe in your eyes it was considered a recycled fight, but alot had happened since their first fight to suggest things could turn out differently and that's why many people were still iffy on who'd win......
people were saying bradley had improved a lot since the first fight and his win against #3 p4p marquez supported those claims...and people were saying pac doesn't have it anymore and his win against rios didn't prove anything.....
the agbeko and rios win are on the same level imo. agebko not considered a top fighter at 118 anymore, past prime, in his mid 30s, had only fought once since losing to mares (which was like in 2011), and hadn't even fought once at 122 i think...rios only had 1 loss, prime, in his mid 20s, bigger, but hasn't fought at 147 before....
and as much as i like donaire he has yet to have a quality win like beating marquez who was ranked #3, coming off a career best KO win, a guranteed hof'er and atg mexican fighter...
plus donaire was ranked #5 or 6 by most publications while bradley was ranked #3.....
in most peoples eyes it was a recycled fight (thats why the numbers are gonna be much lower then projected) the only reason people were giving bradley a chance is because pac was still coming off a brutal ko..........(it had nothing to do with bradley) they thought pac was done after the ko & bradley would have a chance against a shot pac (but that wasn't the case) in fact i predicted that bradley would lose in the same fashion as the last fight because bradley doesn't have any punch technique nore power (go and read my history for that prediction)
i don't care what people were saying. you can put bradley at number 3 but at the end of the day pac already beat bradley. it's a recycled fight. and him being number 3 a lot of it was based more on sure luck........(he had marquez) who else after that? he lost to pac and he lost to provo. but since he was officially awarded those wins he was that high on the pfp list. him being that high was a bit faulty because officially he may have got those wins but in realty luck had a lot to do with it.
donaire was NOT a recycled fight nore did he gain gifts to be at number 5. (and when donaire was on the list we had a much clearer picture of who was pfp) the only guys that were ahead of him was mayweather, pac, ward, martinez. (and fighting in a lower division is harder to make p4p vs higher ones) when you put it in prospective for the time donaire was much more impressive then a recycled timmy fight.
also, rios was NOT just as good of win as agbeko (a person would only say that if they didn't know anything about the lower weight divisions) agbeko had fought mares, (he really won the first fight against mares) perez, Sydorenko, Darchinyan. and now rigo. thats almost every solid opponent around those divisions. the only 2 guys that he didn't fight was mareno & donaire. he also had a nice little win against Melendez before fighting rigo (a win) agbeko has never lost to a guy like alvarado (never) his only 3 losses has come from perez (he avenged this loss) mares & rigo. again.........rios was coming off of a lost to alvarado at 140 before fighting pac (how in the hell is that comparable to agbeko) it's not.Last edited by Godsfly; 04-19-2014, 04:00 PM.
