What exactly does P4P king mean?

[MustangSally]

1) Is it the best fighter, ignoring weight classes (which would be very subjective)?
2) Is it someone who can move across weight classes and win (like a multiweight champion)?
3) Is it someone who can dominates (natrually) bigger fighters?

The general consensus seems to suggest that is number 1) which kind of makes it meaningless as it's hard to gauge people in different weight classes against eachother - I mean how can you compare Demetrius Johnsons style to e.g. Brock Lesnar...?
If it's 2 or 3) which in many cases makes sense because smaller fighter who beats a bigger fighter is by definition better P4p, then people like BJ Penn (past), Franke Edgar, Vitor Belfort, Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier etc would score high...

Do you like to answer your own questions and have conversations with yourself?

Yes, yes I do.

Yes, its common forum etiquette to answer your own questions to get the discussion started

Nothing...

 

[Insmoke]

At the end of the day It's just a fantasy title.

Dana, is that you?



No, it's a subjective guess at who would win or be the most dominant fighter if all fighters were the exact same size. Which is why having Ronda on the list is idiodic. She would lose to any flyweight male fighter, even if she came is with 15 pounds and 4 inches on them.

 

[PunchParty]

its a pointless convo for sherdoggers to have after not getting a job for the past ever.

 

[TheKnightMare]

P4P is just entertaining for fans to discuss. In reality it means absolutely nothing.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

You know damn well what it means, stop messing with our minds!

 

[VAfan]

absolutely nothing.

that dont make sense

is 125 cain valasquez much faster with much better cadrio?

is hw mighty mouse stronger with less speed n agility?

more questions than answers

 

[TASTEofmySCYTHE]

Main factors I look for are...

1. Strength of schedule (how highly ranked opponents are)
2. Size for the division (guys like Frankie clearly competing above their actual weight class)
3. Competing in multiple divisions (like Mighty Mouse being a top 5-10 BW and then winning the Flyweight belt)
4. Overall dominance (Benson Henderson type decision wins vs. complete dominance)
5. Winning streak/percentage in the past 2-3 years
6. Overall record/unbeaten streak
7. How active are they (fighting 1-2 times a year or 3-4 times a year)

Probably a few more factors I can't think of right now.

 

[Groundswell]

It means Jon Jones.

 

[BigMuffler]

The P4P king is a queen.

 

[rraaju]

I guess it means:
a) being a current champ and..
b) having the more respectable/impressive (SUBJECTIVELY) mma record over other current champs

/thread possibly?

Not size bruh, weight. Pound for pound, not cubic inch per cubic inch.

 

[Djpremixed]

As everybody already knows...it doesn't mean anything. Besides everybody thinks it means something different.
