1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Juan Manuel Marquez 3. Bernard Hopkins 4. Israel Vazquez 5. Shane Mosley 6. Miguel Cotto 7. Paul Williams 8. Ivan Calderon 9. Rafael Marquez 10. Ricky Hatton 11. Vic Darchinyan 12. Chad Dawson 13. Juan Manuel Lopez 14. Kelly Pavlik 15. Nonito Donaire 16. Celestino Caballero 17. Vitalai Klitschko 18. Wladimir Klitschko 19. Jermain Taylor 20. Mikkel Kessler 21. David Haye 22.Tomasz Adamek 23. Arthur Abraham 24. Fernando Montiel 25. Joan Guzman 26. Humberto Soto 27. Chris John 28. Andre Berto 29. Jorge Linares 30. Ulises Solis 31. Joshua Clottey 32. Roman Gonzales 33. Tim Bradley 34. Nate Campbell 35. Edgar Sosa i strive to make a p4p list so the higher ranked fighter would beat the lower ranked. this is based on perception of which fighters can the p4p fighters beat. accomplishment and resume are a big factor in my personal perception i put lopez slightly lower than izzy and rafa bec i feel that if lopez fight either those 2, the fight would be too close to call. lopez would easily beat caballero i put mosley ahead of cotto, for i believe mosley would beat any fighter at 147 except pac if he moves up..ssm-cotto would be a close fight though. i put darchinyan over donaire because i feel that darchinyan would only lose to donaire and a 50-50 chance against montiel..Donaire on the other hand would have a harder time dealing with mijares and montiel compared to darchinyan. lastly, i think montiel is a close fight for any elite fighter 118 below i favor taylor to beat kessler in another close match. also, guerrero over linares and soto. im unsure how good guzman and campbell would be in their new division
Ivan Calderon is imo overrated. He didn't look that good against Cazares and its not sure he would beat Solis.
at the weigh-in they are the same weight other fighters in that division are also giving up alot of weight to Cazares on fight night but he still has 3 other losses
well yes, but can you just imagine if cazares is not that big, calderon would have no sweat beating him..
i would put juanma in my top 10, his resume doesnt have any big names on it yet but imo his ability warrents his place in my list.
I think its a respectable list. Though I gotta agree with the yesihavearm2's objection to Juanma at being ranked at 11. He's a great kid with tons of potential but he hasn't really fought anyone of such a caliber to warrant such a high ranking. He's maybe 15 tops.
^^^i just beat my p4p not purely on accomplishment. vasquez and marquez can not KO this guy.. but donaire would KO VD, bhop KO'd pav, and dawson can not dispatch johnson with ease...common, juanma deserve his spot...we all know he is at par with izzy and rafa
that logic is flawed, if that was the case then Cotto should be above Mosley but under Margarito, and Taylor should be above Hopkins, but under Pavlik, and Chris John should be in the top 5 at the very least
he would not rule the division if he had the same size as his opponents..p4p rankings is biased against HWs...notice how lennox lewis is only in the 10th place for less than 6 months..that is after he beats tyson
juanma hasnt faced a fantastic opponent yet, its like rating amir khan before the prescott fight, if juanma disposes of penalosa easily then maybe he is high up p4p but atm he isnt top 30
it is like a round robin..hypothetical match up p4p... i say, pacquiao would not lose to anybody..the #1 is the guy with lowest number of losses. i feel that darchinyan with be more dominant to other fighters compared to donaire but if they fight again donaire would beat VD again... taylor may have beaten bhop. but p4p he would lose to many other guys. marquez is a different fighter now compared to his fight with john i put cotto below mosley because at this stage nobody can beat mosley at 147 except pac..
juanma is at par with izzy and rafa..if he fights them today, the odds would be close..khan has never been in the same league as campbell, diaz or casamayor. if khan fight diaz, he would be a 3-1 underdog
