Glad you were entertained my man!!! Haha! He only has a good % because of all the boxing events. You'll notice that for nearly every boxing show, 95% of the time the favourite wins so it's real easy to get most picks correct.  MMA is way more unpredictable than boxing. You will see  people who pick boxing or newer members, boxing only been on this site  for a year have higher pick %.  I just want to make that clear as I know dumb dumb will try claim superiority because of his pick %.  So what I'm saying  is that dumb dumb should be thanking me for uploading all the boxing events!!! Haha

yea boxing matches are always set up in one's favor greatly, those fights are so easy to call. and I only give credibility to people's UFC pick rate, very small minded of me but it's the only mma organization I watch

Yeah, I agree, you do seem very small minded!!!! Haha!

Boxing and MMA greatly differ in matchmaking.  Boxing still has this mentality, that I kinda blame Floyd for, where it is all about the 0!!!  If you aint undefeated, you aint ****!!!  So young boxers and especially their prommoters/managers protect them and they end up not fighting a tough fight til they are 20-0 and fighting for a title!!!  Whereas in MMA you'll see good 4-0 prospects matched up tough.  I much prefer the MMA match making and really loses don't mean a fighter is garbage.  If you fight tough guys you're gonna lose some but as long as your in good fights people will watch!  Hopefully boxing changes

Well they have many guppie boxers nobody ever heard of around the nation and world, that's free money for them. It's always been about resume for me, Canelo is still number 1 pound for pound in my book. 
I don't think Boxing is at the highest level of entertainment anymore because of what you just said, they protect their fighters. Back then it was battle royale baby, every big name (or hot up and comers) against big names. That's partially the reason I started getting into MMA, besides there being actual value in gambling compared to boxing. These days it's all staged for big superfights with these new age fighters who don't know how to put on an entertaining fight because they're more worried about losing.

don't worry though Mikey, my small mind is gonna bust your balls in the near future! if I woulda known there was no redemption in the wager league, I wouldn't have made such grand and foolish parlays. I did that purposely thinking the clause was still there if you hit 0 lol
then again I am barely 22 and have only watched every event since gamebred/till. I'm barely realizing the level of competition between styles and getting to know the fighters themselves.

Canelo definitely isn't P4P 1. Really it's between Lomachenko  and Crawford.

Terence "Bud" Crawford would get my nod for P4P #1.

Axl,, All I hear from you is "waaaah waaaah waaaah!!!!!" 
Haha!!

Yeah, P4P no.1 aint Canelo, I switch between Crawford and Loma. I favour Crawford a little more cause he has a mean streak in him that I like. But everytime I watch Loma he is supremely impressive.

Predictions: 5 of 6 Winners, 1 Perfect, 330 Points   |   Tied for 85th

#1 Canelo (4 division champ)
#2 Pacquiao (only 8 divison world champ boxer ever)
#3 Lomanchenko (decorated like a ************)
#4 Choco ( only boxer to be 4 division champ in lowest divisions)
#5 Crawford (3 division champ)
By default, Manny should be number one in my opinon if we're going off what they all have accomplished in their careers, but I'm also considering how pretty their resumes are as they stand today.
Canelo has the most clean resume of anybody in modern boxing. No active fighter has a resume cleaner and with as much name value as his. Pacquiao is 2nd by default, Loma is 3rd by default.
Choco's accomplishments as an amateur and having 4 over 3 titles puts him over crawford in my book, but nobody cares about the small fighters.

Canelo and Pacquiao and Loma have clean sharp boxing skills while being aggressive on the front foot, it's the most admirable style of boxing. 
Crawford is a bit more dirty and streetlike but his rugged style is very fluid and technical. Choco is also a technical brawler, they still portay less boxer-like qualities compared to the other 3.
I use that as my last reason for my rankings.

Lomachenko is the best technical Boxer I have ever seen. Period.

If he had Power he would be unimaginably good.

Fair enough. I don't agree with Canelo at 1 or especially Pacquiao at 2!!! If you go by career, achievements then yes Pacman is an all time legend!!! But the way I rate P4P is who is the best at the moment, not over a career.  But everyone kinda does P4P their own way.
I do like that you give Chocolatito props as he is 1 of my favourite boxers! I was PUMPED when he put a whoopin on Yafai!!
