    If that scenario happened it would be strange because I dont anyone would have a real strong case to the title. Hopkins probably but I doubt he would hold onto the position for long.
    Just imagine the arguments on this forum if it does happen.

    Probably Hopkins, with Hatton probably in #2, Vazquez probably at 3.

    The best fighters in the world and the Ring Magazine P4P top ten are distant cousins with only alittle in common.The best fighters in the world are the number one guys in each division.

    sometimes there can be 2 fighters in the same division who are both better than the best fighter in another division.

    if pac loses a close fight, he's still #1 IMO.

    if he gets absolutely blown the **** out, then b-hop.

    Impossible to measure.Ring mag P4P is just there to help sell fights and market certain fighters.

    I think it does play a part for sure but it can't be as detrimental as losing surely?
