After losing to Jman he played him in a MM later and 3-0ed him and also 3-1ed Lucky in a MM at Apex.
Came a hell of a lot closer to beating Armada than Axe did too. Also, saying that Axe beat him at Pound when most acknowledge that PP started getting RIDICULOUS around March/HERB3 and forward is kinda...eh. The matches were hella close too and Axe said PP ***** him in dittos before that and he got lucky....
Also PP is the only person since Pound 4 to beat Hungrybox besides Mango. I think that weighs REALLY heavily.
Your main points are: Jman MM, set with Armada, PP wasn't as good at Pound 4, something Axe said, beat Hbox. I will address each one individually and explain why it does not warrant that he should be 6th, and also explain the significance of placing Axe at 6th.
Jman MM - I can see this as evidence to putting him above Jman, but not above Axe. Axe has beaten Jman in two tournaments now, so any credit you give to PP for that victory must also be given to Axe.
Set with Armada: It may have been close but ultimately a win is a win. Any point that is made beyond the objective results and fact that they both lost to Armada is a subjective point. People analyze things differently, and for one player to analyze the closeness of matches is no better than another player's analysis. If the two disagree on their analysis there is no reason that one's should outweigh the other.
PP wasn't as good at Pound 4: Once again, this is a subjective statement that carries no real weight. One could say that PP has gotten much better since then, but one can also say that Axe has gotten much better since then, that Axe has improved more than PP has since then, that Axe has improved more lately than PP has, but none of these points can be proven beyond a person's own judgement. And once again, I point out that one person's opinion is no better than another persons.
Something Axe said: We don't know why Axe said what he did. It could have been out of modesty and down playing his ego, to show respect for PP, or other reasons. When others analyze his words one can only make assumptions as to the meanings, and once again, I point to the fact that one person's assumptions are no better than another's.
PP's win against Hbox: This is reasonable evidence to give PP the 6th spot. However, if it is decided that this weighs heavy enough to give PP the 6th spot, it begs the question "why does it not weigh enough to give him the number three spot?" If PP can be ranked above Axe, someone who he has lost to, for beating someone higher than him, than PP should also be ranked higher than anyone else between Hbox and PP, which in my case is Armada, Amsah, M2K, Axe, and Jman. Each of these players have lost to Hbox, and PP has beaten Hbox, so using the logic that his win should weigh in heavily PP should be ranked 3rd.
I did not weigh it this heavily because, as far as I know, PP beat Hbox in one tournament and his since then never beaten him. If PP won consistently I would reconsider, but, my understanding is that it is not consistent and therefor I do not weigh it in heavily.
To conclude, everyone's list will include bias. If it didn't, then everyone's list would be exactly the same because each person would be using the same formula and producing the same results. Since this is not the case it must mean that bias exists, and it is inevitable. With that said, I think it is important that there be fair representation of bias. So far, I have seen a lot of bias for PP. I'm not trying to discredit PP, I think he is an amazing player. What I am trying to do is provide bias for Axe, another amazing player, because I think he is being under represented.
