Seriously..Before the weekend where did you place Donaire P4P

This. I had Donaire 10th exactly.

 

Here is The Ring's article explaining Donaire's P4P #3 ranking:

THE RING ranked Donaire No. 5 in its pound-for-pound rankings, behind far-more accomplished elite veterans Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Sergio Martinez and Juan Manuel Marquez prior to the Montiel fight. Some fans and boxing writers believed that ranking was too high for a young up-and-comer whose only victory over an elite fighter was his knockout of Vic Darchinyan, which was THE RING’s 2007 KO of the Year.

Even Donaire admitted that he needed another high-profile victory against a fellow-pound-for-pound-ranked fighter in order to justify THE RING‘s lofty ranking. The 28-year-old Filipino got one with Montiel (who the magazine ranked No. 7, pound for pound, going into Saturday’s fight) and he exceeded expectations.

Donaire was so impressive, THE RING advanced him from No. 5 to No. 3, ahead Marquez and Martinez.

It wasn’t a simple choice for the magazine’s editorial board, which read the views and opinions of dozens of members of THE RING Ratings Panel before making their decision.

Martinez, THE RING middleweight champ and 2010 Fighter of the Year, is coming off a breath-taking second-round KO of the Year of Paul Williams. Marquez, THE RING lightweight champ, is coming off a ninth-round stoppage of No. 1 contender Michael Katsidis in a 2010 fight-of-the-year candidate.
“It took more time to discuss where Nonito Donaire would be rated in the pound-for-pound rankings than it did to update the entire divisional rankings,” said Nigel Collins, Editor-in-Chief of THE RING magazine. “Advancing him to No. 3 means that he overtakes middleweight world champion Sergio Martinez (No. 3 last week) and world lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (No. 4 last week).

“The decision was made even more difficult because both Martinez and Marquez have recently defended their titles via knockout against top-notch challengers. In the end, however, it was impossible to ignore Donaire’s overpowering performances in his last 10 fights, nine of which he won via knockout or TKO. The ‘Filipino Flash’ is on a helluva roll, one that could conceivably see him climb even higher in future months.”

 

Honestly I had him outside the top ten simply b/c his best win was Vic which was 2 yrs ago I believe. he's won since but never took on anther name or top fighter like Vic. Montiel is the best win since Nonito starched VD.

I think the way he dominated and destroyed Montiel warrants a major jump in the P4P ranks but I don't think he should be #2 or #3.

 

10th
I had Montiel at 7th
now Donaire is 3rd.

 

That really helped show where you had himatsch

 

So you had donaire at 10. One win later he jumped to number 3. That seven places :rofl

 

So ring is trying to suggest that knocking Paul Williams spark out is less impressive than donaire stopping montrial? And for your information Donaire did not knock him out the ref stopped it as montrial made the 10 count. So please stop the bull**** about one punch knockout because it wasn't.

 

well I'm kinda biased as he is one of my favorite fighters, i had him around 9th or 10th but always knew that he would rank higher.

 

i had him around 15
now i have him around 6-7th

 

I had it approximately

Pac
Floyd
Martinez
Hopkins
Jmm
Montiel
Segura
Wlad
Lopez
Donaire

I now have it

Pac
Floyd
Donaire
Martinez
Hopkins
Jmm
Segura
Wlad
Lopez
Agbeko/froch/bradley (not made my mind up on these yet)

 

I dont see how someone can go from 10th to 3rd after one fight

 

I agree..he wasn't no where to be seen...

Granted i don't have a stupid, useless, meaningless P4P list.

 

7th!

 

I had him at #6, now at #4 next to Martinez, and if you dont count May, he's at 3 with Martinez

 

He was 11th on my most recent list.
