Final 2012 Ratings: P4P

Stay connected for news and updates

Criteria: Interim Champions, "Super" Champions, and Champions Emeritus are not recognized as official champions. If two fighters hold a version of the same belt in a specific weight class the true champion is considered the titleholder. Fighters who fought in a certain weight class outside of their normal division will be ranked in that weight class. I don't rank two fighters in the same spot and leave spots vacant like the Ring, nor will I rate up and coming fighters who have yet to prove their worth because of thin resume or soft opposition. There are guys who have put in more work for a lot longer period of time for me to rank Adrien Broner in the top five like a certain bought and paid for so called "Bible of Boxing". I like Broner but he's no P4P; not yet anyway.
