    Yeah I said it. The Magazine is a joke for not having guys like Chad Dawson and Paul Williams in their top 10 rankings. Guys like Rafa and Vasquez should be dropped for inactivity not mention Rafa has lost his last two fights. Winky was dropped for losing to Hopkins and was inactive so how in the hell is Rafa still there? I love Donaire but he doesn't deserve to be there over them. Cabellero is just a cruel joke he went life and death in his last fight and isn't even that good to begin with. He's barely top 25.

    Williams is the very definition of P4P going from 147 to 160 wining and willing to fight all comers and can't get the big names to fight him. Dawson is very skilled, has a great resume at only 26 beating the man at CW in Adamek a wins over the always tough Johnson and 2 wins over Tarver. These two men have done much more than others that are currently ranked ahead of them and for them not to be included on the list is criminal.

    Dawson does not deserve to be p4p top 10 I don't think.

    Williams certainly should be top 10. No doubt about it.

    Caballero and Dawson should have been switched in light of Caballero's recent performance.

    They heavily favor small fighters.

    Adamek over Donaire on that list no question.

    If The Ring drops Izzy Vasquez, he'll show up and single handedly kick all their asses.

    That's why he's still there.

    Which is fine since the rest of the world seems to favor bigger fighters.

    Except that unless I'm mistaken, Izzy and Rafa are signed with Gary Shaw.

    Rendering that point pretty baseless.
