How long does a fighter have to be inactive before you take him off your P4P list?

I noticed a lot of people currently don't have Andre Ward in the top 10 p4p due to inactivity so i was just wondering how long a fighter goes without fighting before you take them off completely.

BQ: Wtf is wrong with James Kirkland?

Update:

    If SOG doesn't have a fight scheduled by November 11th (which he won't) then he's off my list completely. It'll have been over a year since he last fought and he has nothing set.

    BQ: I don't know anymore, that dude is an idiot. Evidently turning down career high paydays is a hobby of his.

    Normally, one year of inactivity strikes a listed fighter off but how do we treat this case where the fighter (Ward) is not solely at fault? He is embroiled in a protracted contract dispute with his manager which prevent him from fighting.

    Why would we strike off somebody as good as Ward that no 168 and even 175 pounders have come remotely close to beating?

    The selected panel voting fighters into the mythical list has stressed time and again that the P4P list also takes into account the fighter's historical record of performance which is given more weight than other factors. This could be the reason why some fighters remain in the list despite their inactivity or recent less than sterling showing or even unexpected loss ( eg Pacquiao, Marquez, Bradley )

    Ward is 0-3 against Goosen and Goosen is now sueing him for arbitration for 10 million. Wasting his prime and doesn't deserve to be on the p4p lists anymore.

    Kirkland turned Canelo down for 1 million back in 2012 and so far this year turned Golovkin down, Canelo again and now Rosado. That clown thinks he's a draw or something. If 270K against Rosado was his highest payday ever you'd think he would accept Canelo. Its also his sh*tty management though and promoter. Kirklands a joke. I was looking forward to Alvarez kicking his a s s.

    Source(s): Kirkland just prices himself out because he knows he'll lose and wanna be paid well.

    Supposed to be one year of inactivity and they have to work their way up when they come back.
