Weidman Will Be #1 P4P If..

[Uncle00Jesse]

If Chris beats The Dragon and Gus edges out Jones in their rematch. Two pretty likely scenarios. A legend in the making.

 

[Melas Chasma]

He already is imo. He just needs to prove that to those who cant see his greatness.

 

[BrazilianDude]

I would still rank him below Jones, tbh...

 

[Ascent]

I think if he destroys Machida and Jones loses, then he might have a case for being #1 P4P.
If he beats Machida in a more spectacular fashion than Jones did, that will be something.

I don't think however that Jones losing makes Weidman any more of a 'legend', for that he needs to get through at least a few more strong challengers.

That will cement Aldo as #1

This. P4P is more about seniority than anything else really

IMO Aldo has been too bland and unimpressive for the last 2+ years to be considered #1 P4P over Weidman, if he destroys Machida.

Weidman has 2 weird wins over 1 great fighter. Settle down.

 

[Ascent]

The fuck? Why was this wastelanded?

 

[J-Pac]

Weidman is already #1. He beat the shit out of the former P4P #1 twice at his own game. He is a wrestler who outstruck Anderson Silva twice. Come at him. If you beat the best, you are the best, period.

 

[Uncle00Jesse]

Wow wastelanded already?? We're talking about an historic rise to the top of a sport in a very short period of time. Its a legit discussion people.

Making Leon Spinks the true GOAT of boxing.

 

[MasterNinjaRat]

Lol, no. Aldo should be #1 if Jones would lose, he has nearly cleaned the division. Weidman has two wins against Anderson, which is a huge feat, but it doesnt mean that he would beat everyone in the division.

 

[BigMuffler]

Weidman has 4 people between him and Jones.

 

[synyster]

aldo has been #1 for awhile
