    Top 4 are on lock. In that order too, well the first two are interchangable IMO.

    A win over Mosley does nothing for Manny at this juncture.

    I would have Calzaghe, Nunn and maybe Hamed (switcher), Moorer and Tarver in there

    I could see an argument for Calzaghe, maybe, but Nunn, Hamed, Moorer and Tarver? Come on, PP. Jesus Christ.

    I didn't say it either, but I have Whitaker up as well by mentally turning some of his bull**** robberies into wins(i refuse to call the chavez fight a draw, per se), even then i think it's close.

    EDIT: Calzaghe was the only guy out of those I even mildly though about putting up there and he still doesn't really deserve it.

    Just watched Saldivar give Sugar Ramos a beating. Horrible referee.

    The bottom 6 of that top10 aren't that strong and the fighters I listed are easily in their company and better in a few cases. If you lose the old time bias for a second you'll see Tiger Flowers is effectively the Tarver of his era, Lytell too feasted on old past it greats, there isn't anyone dominant or that impressive in the bottom 6

    He beat Jones...therefore he's actually top 20 P4P...regardless of stance.

    Where do we all rate Joppy, p4p? I have him rather high. Above Larry Holmes.

    Yeah, their fight wasn't even competitive.

    According to Greb's fans he was considered shot against Flowers and was blind and was really dead, so why is Flowers so high then?
