BJ and Fedor are two of the only guys who should even be mentioned in P4P discussion, because nobody else you guys talk about has done a GOD damn thing to deserve it.
P4P fighters =
Sakuraba
Royce
BJ
Fedor
When GSP moves cuts weight down to 155 and beats some ass, then moves up to 185 and does well, then to 205 and over and does respectably, then he's a great P4P fighter. Until then, he's just a great WW, nothing more. Same goes for ALL the guys who get talked about as P4P fighters, until they prove something by fighting guys well out of their natural weight class, with success, they should not be mentioned.

p4p rankings aren't about evaluating how a fighter fights at different classes. Rather, it's about comparing who is the most complete and dominate fighter for his weight in comparison to fighters at other weights.
