P4P top 10 2014

Yeah, but your acting like B-Hop is an ordinary man. B-Hop doesn't get older, he just gets better. He will never age, he will never retire.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!:hi:

 

2012 I expect Donaire, Juanma, Lara and Rigondeaux to be some of the top guys....Williams could still be a force as well. Wilder will be undisputed HW champ.

Very possibly Andre Ward as well dependent upon the Super 6.

 

i think chad dawson will be #1 khan will be up there also

 

I agree with those picks. I'd have it:

1.Paul Williams (only if he stays fighting from 147-160 and doesn't move to 168)
2.Guillermo Rigondeaux (I think him and JuanMa will wind up fighting and I think he'll win, they might wind up having a trilogy like Vazquez/Marquez)
3.Juan Manuel Lopez
4.Nonito Donaire (could be #1 if he moves up in weight and dominates like he does at flyweight)
5.Andre Ward
6.Chad Dawson (might eventually have showdown with Ward)
7.Amir Khan (if he continues to improve under Roach I think he will beat Bradley, Alexander, and anyone else still around at 140)
8.Erislanda Lara (he'll eventually have to fight PW and it won't go well for him)
9.Timothy Bradley
10.Jorge Linares

 

We can only hope.

 

Wow, people are really getting behind Rigondeaux - he's only had two fights! I'd pick JuanMa to stop him Margo vs. Cotto style. If PW gets past Pavlik (which I doubt) he'll be at the top.

 

Dont get me wrong theres no shame in losing to B hop in the coming years if he keeps going as he is. I was just implying at the age gap which would be freakish.
Long may he continue i say, i love watching him fight.

 

This seems reasonable, though I don't agree with Bradley or Ward, and Rigondeaux seems high. Don't sleep on Danny Jacobs, Koki Kameda or Roman Gonzalez though.

 

Yeah I know Rigondeaux has done enough yet to warrant being that high but I just have a feeling about him. As far as Bradley and Ward, I think Ward will definitely be there and I think he is gonna shock some people in this tournament. If he's able to beat Kessler (which is a big if) in the first round fight than I think he'll have no problem winning the Super Six. As far as Bradley goes though, yeah I only put him in there because he's 25 probably the best at 140 (besides Pac) and I couldn't come up with anyone else to put in there. I'm really not that solled on Danny Jacobs yet, and I haven't seen enough of Koki Kameda and Roman Gonzalez to have an opinion on them.

 

Unification at strawweght?!?!?

You'll be lucky!

He'd beat Calderon now though IMO.

Linares will be top or near the top I think.

 

Amir Khan will never be top 10. He just isn't that good.

 

1. Jorge Linares
2. Juanma Lopez
3. Nonito Donaire
4. Paul Williams
5. Erislandy Lara

On a side note anyone know the story on James Kirkland? How long is he gone away for?

 

I think Donaire has potential to be near the top of the list because he seems to have the frame to go up several divisions. He'd be my guess for the #1 spot, or maybe one of the three Cuban stars.
