1. Takashi Uchyyama
2. Yuriokis Gamboa
3. Juan Manuel Lopez

Also RP you asked me to help out with the wee guys

Heres what I think of them

1. Roman Gonzalez
2. Raul Garcia
3. Nkosinathi Joyi
4. Donnie Nietes
5. Oleydong Sithsamerchai
6. Juan Palacios
7. Milan Milendo
8. Florante Condes
9. Ronald Barrera
10. Manuel Vargas

I'll get a bit more of an idea later when I watch the Nietes fight.

@ Lfly I would have Mayol over Tamara

[Losfer_Words]

Lopez for me. KO-ing Luevano in a weight class above his previous one is one hell of a statement, IMO. Although Gamoa's victory over Mtagwa was sensational, it means little when you consider what Mtagwa meant prior to his fight with Lopez.

1, Lopez
2, Tamara (awesome win)
3, Gamboa

[D-MAC]

I see that Juan Manuel Marquez has benefited quite a bit from Lopez's win over Luevano.

[ishy]

Campillo, Shumenov should be above Diaconu.

Fighter of the month:
Juan Manuel Lopez

[ryanm8655]

I don't understand Mosley's removal when the last time Ricky Hatton won a fight at Light-welter was well over a year ago yet he remains...since then he's only been destroyed in 2 rounds...I can understand Mosley being penalised and moved down a few spots...just seems to be inconsistent.

And Bhop still pfp no.3, he hasn't fought a meaningful fight since pavlik in 2008 and doesn't look like he will fight a meaningful fight again...surely he should atleast drop a few spots...

[Davies]

Lopez for sure

Also cant see why Povetkins above Haye

Mosley had not had a fight in over a year.

Hatton has. and hatton lost to the best fighter in the world, if he lostr to a chump he would be ranked. remember he still holds wins over 2 of the top 10.

the p4p was done by vote. 132 people voted and only 2 didnt have hopkins top 5, i was one of them.

my thought process was that Campillo doesnt deserve to go that high as it was a robbery. lets see what others think????

[Beeston Brawler]

Lopez for me.

I think it's time Hopkins dropped a few places. He didn't fight for a year after fighting the 160 champ at a different weight and chose to return against someone unranked. He is taking on RJJ next in a fight no-one cares about. At 175, his ranking is currently unjustified, IMO. I think it's about time he was stripped of a P4P ranking as well due to the level of opposition he has faced and inactivity.

i tend to agree losfer but remember we did p4p using the vote. we will do a re-vote soon.

anything but a dominant KO win over Jones Jnr and he will drop below Pascal.

[Mazallan]

Gamboa.
Lopez.
Tamara.
