    My beef is with your illogical argument. Let's add a lack of consistency to your problems as well. You're taking away credit for Douglas' win over Tyson now because you claim Tyson wasn't at his best. Well, Donaire wasn't at his best either. Donaire is scheduled to have shoulder surgery, and he struggled to make weight. You can't have it both ways.

    The fact of the matter is, if you want Rigo in the top 10 it has to be based heavily on his perceived skills because his resume and accomplisments are pretty thin. He hasn't competed in multiple weight classes, and he has no marquee wins outside of Donaire.

    it has decent divisional rankings but P4P is hard to take serious these days with the best fighting the best so scarcely and fighters barely fighting.

    my issue too. With corrupt governing bodies the ring were a great source for declaring champions. But now, there's an obvious bias to one promotors fighters it won't work

    Maybe it's time you guys realized the P4P lists mean nothing and are for fanboys to act like they know a thing or two about boxing.

    Did Donaire claim anything was wrong before the fight? He certainly used his shoulder in the fight, you know, by throwing punches. And one does not have to go to multiple weight classes to be ranked in the top ten pound for pound. You, like many others, have the pound for pound thing wrong.

    Am I saying that moving to different weight classes and beating top guys does not add to one's accomplishments? No, of course not. That is great. If one guy stays at his best weight and dominates like Hopkins did at middleweight when he was #1 pound for pound or W. Klitschko who is a top ten pound for pound guy, then that still warrants their places.

    Rigondeaux is one of the most talented guys in the history of the sport. But I get your point, his talent alone does not mean he should be ranked. I agree with that, but this one great win though should warrant him being in the top ten. This was no halfway decent win, it was a great win! Do you disagree with that? I mean, it would be one thing if he had only defeated Cordoba or Ramos. Both decent, clear wins, but Donaire is one of those special guys. Rigondeaux was no Buster Douglas, 42-1 underdog. This was thought of as a pick 'em type of fight before the first bell rang.

    Thats because you are 1 of the biggest Mayweather nuthuggers on this forum.

    But you think boxing only revolves around 1 person anyway.

    Horrendous list. Pacquiao is above Rigondeaux? Ward is above Marquez and Mayweather? Mayweather isn't #1? YDKSAB.

    They're top 4 isn't that bad. Marquez should be above Ward. Broner and Guerrero should not be there at all.

    That's a particularly bad list. You can't have Donaire ahead of Rigo after last week - you just can't.

    Guerrero, Broner, Wlad and Bradley range from atrocious picks to just questionable.
