    I agree with everything you just said.

    I've advocated Williams and Dawson's inclusion for a while. Above Hatton, Pavlik, Caballero as it was previously, and how Donaire has found his way in and not these guys I just don't know.

    But Donaire has (retrospectively) achieved more than both Williams and especially Dawson?

    As it stands, I also think they're really overrating Mosley based off of the Margarito win. He shouldn't be #4, because if I remember correctly, Cotto wasn't 4 when he beat Mosley, and I'm pretty sure Margo wasn't 4 when Mosley beat him- so I don't know how being involved in that triangle (and without establishing himself at the top of it) gets him that high a ranking. Paul Williams should be higher than Shane based off of recent accomplishments, IMO.

    Donaire's got the talent, just needs another good win or two to really solidify his standing. His stock is kind of piggybacking off of how well Darchynian's bounced back since Nonito KO'd him as much as how good he's looked.

    Give me one ****ing reason why Cabellero should be ranked higher than Dawson or Williams. Both of their resumes **** on his not too mention their more skilled.:deal:

    I love Donaire I feel that he's a true P4P talent but hasn't done enough just yet. He's living off of his win over Vic.

    Williams should be in the top 10

    Dawson & Donaire are debatable

    Izzy and Rafa should be taken out for inactivity, or atleast Izzy for not even having a fight scheduled.

    Having Caballero in there is what hurts their rankings the most, I would be hesitant to even put him in a top 30 list let alone a top 10.

    I couldn't agree more. I can think of atleast 15 fighters that are more deserving.

    Agreed.

    PW is definitely a P4P top 10 in the truest sense of the word. Dawson has top 10 P4P skills and accomplishments.

    I love this - A magazine with 80+ year history has no cred because you disagree with their list of fighters in a subjective pound for pound rating list... insane.

    Yeah, but having Cellabaro in the top 10 is a joke. I think most people will agree that Dawson and PW should be above him.

    pimp c, my man i agree with you, their listi s getting bad as off lately. There is no way at all that i see why dawson shouldn't be on that list and williams too when they have clearly achieved more recently than the likes of caballero and izzy who hasn't done **** at all since his 3rd fight with marquez.

    my list goes like this btw

    1. pac
    2. floyd jr.
    3. bhop
    4. dawson
    5. jmm
    6. mosley
    7. williams
    8. vic
    9. nonito
    10. calderon

    Rafa should be out for losing twice in a row and for inactivity.
    Dawson does not deserve to be there for being boring.
    Donaire should be there in #9 and ahead of Darchi.
    Williams should be in #7 or 8.

    I'll say it again- I have no idea how Mosley's rated 4th, Caballero's 10th, and Paul Williams isn't rated at all. Neither of them should be higher than Williams. Dawson should just be cracking the top 10, or another good win away.
