4 - behind JMM, Hopkins and Pac. Vasquez and Marquez should be off..... move everyone else up and put Cotto and Williams at 9 & 10.
4th behind JMM, Hopkins, and Mosley but its not gonna happen i mean the only way i see it happening is some kind of TKO on a cut or some unpredictable ****up.
Why are people putting him behind Hopkins? A guy who recently has lost to Calzaghe, and Taylor twice. He beat a smaller guy in Pavlik who is nowhere near in the league of Pac! Williams and Dawson showed the current state of Tarver and Winky. How does a victory over Pavlic(way above his best weight), a decent but one dimensional fighter, prove more worth than of one over the current p4p no1 and ATG?
#4 Hatton - would be reasonable. I would also (obviously) put JMM as #1 - which is where he should be right now anyway, IMO.
It could be argued that he lost none of those. He certainly won the Taylor rematch.... and I had him beating Calzaghe.
You could do, but ultimately he didn't did he? He lost all three fights. None of them were absolute blatant robberies, imo. Even if you give him a victory over Taylor - beating Hopkins is Taylors claim to fame - so the win over him would now mean nothing in P4p terms. Taylor got beat twice by Pavlik, his win over Hopkins is the only real thing that gives a win over Taylor any real value.
I think a PTS win can often be more meaningful than a stoppage. Afterall..... Look at Jackson vs Graham..... 30-25 behind on my card, but won by KO. Calzaghe vs Lacy...... 12 round schooling (and beating)?
