ring rankings stink....if an american wins they shoot him up too far. calzaghe should be easy no 2 on anyones rankings.bhop 3, and jmm 4. mosely is gone up too much imo.
This threads funny only last week I was questioning the Rings P4P list and got shot down in flames for not believing the gospel according to Golden Boy!!
1 Manny Pacquiao 2 Joe Calzaghe 3 Bernard Hopkins 4 Juan Manuel Marquez 5 Israel Vazquez 6 Ivan Calderon 7 Rafael Marquez 8 Paul Williams 9 Vic Darchinyan 10 Shane Mosley
Dawson is not proven enough to be at this level IMO, let's see him beat a world class fighter who isn't ready to draw his pension! Adamek was a good win but the rest have been geriatrics!
That list looks a lot better now that the utter ridiculousness of Margarito has been removed from the top six. It was a joke that he was ever there. Cotto has been consistently overrated, so they are also just returning to reality by removing him. Wladimir Klitschko should be in the top ten.
it just proves how pointless and stupid P4P rankings really are. It is all myth and conjecture anyway why get so upset?
I agree, it is pretty pointless when you think about it. Most of these guys could never fight each other so we'd never know who's right/wrong.
I've got: Pac Calzaghe JMM Hopkins Izzy Rafa Vic Hatton Wlad Haye Williams, Cotto, Dawson, Mosley, Calderon, Kessler, etc are right on the next level.
My P4P Top Ten: 1 JMM - thought it was clear in their fight that JMM was better then Pac 2 Pac 3 Vasquez 4 Rafa 5 Hopkins 6 Calzaghe - He's not getting in my top 5, can't stand the guy 7 Mosley - Thought he showed he was better then Cotto, and just annhilated Margo 8 Williams 9 Cotto 10 Wlad 11 Hatton
