    The BBC's PvP top10 list is as follows:

    1.Floyd Mayweather Jr
    2.Manny Pacquiao
    3.Winky Wright
    4.Jermain Taylor
    5.Juan Manuel Marquez
    6.Joe Calzaghe
    7.Shane Mosely
    8.Oscar de la Hoya
    9.Bernard Hopkins
    10.Marco Antonio Barrera

    My own personal top10 would be something like

    1. Floyd Mayweather - Easily switchable with PacMan and Rafael
    2. Manny Pacquiao
    3. Rafael Marquez
    4. Winky Wright - Easily switchable with B-hop and Jc
    5. Bernard Hopkins
    6. Joe Calzaghe
    7. Shane Mosely
    8. Chris John - Awsome win over Juan Manuel Marquez
    9. Miguel Cotto - Same but over Judah
    10. Jermain Taylor - As much as it pains me to say it. Taylors accomplishments far outweight his ability. You cant leave him out untill someone beats him.

    I think we'll see a lot of changes in the pound for pound list. I think as soon as someone beats Taylor he'll be gone from it for a long time if not forever. Cotto could fall out of it or skyrocket to the top end if he wins his next fight in whats a powerpacked division. If SSM fights Floyd the winner of that could solidfy number 1 spot as could the winner of winky vs bhop. A win for JC over Kessler would see him into the top3 easily. Marquez over Vasquez again would see him have a real chance at number 1. It's all to play for.

    Any thoughts and changes ?

    1.Floyd Mayweather Jr
    2.Manny Pacquiao
    3.Winky Wright
    4.Jermain Taylor
    5.Joe Calzaghe

    In terms of pure skill:

    1. PBF
    2. Kessler
    3. Cotto
    4. Dawson
    5. Pacqiao
    6. Calzaghe

    Marquez can't be P4P best, not right now. Calzaghe is ranked higher than Hopkins ? This is awful, just like Oscar is ranked higher than Barrera, even though he fought well against the P4P best.
    And Cotto definitely deserves to be P4P 6 at least.

    Hopkins is old and simply not that good now. Certainly not as good as Calzaghe, no matter what he might realistically do to Wright.

    Two performance like those of Hopkins against Taylor do not put you above Calzaghe.

    He is old, let it go, he is not longer an upper end elite fighter.

    Umm....When he starts landing clean punches at the end of his glove, I'll start giving him credit for "skill". Currently, his little patty-cake flurries display nothing but speed.

    Excuse me sir but Hopkins beat Tarver like no one did before, not even Roy Jones.
    Calzaghe beat ..... Manfredo. Can't compare him to Tarver, really.

    It doesn't matter if he is old or shot (which is certainly not), only his results prevail.

    Manfredo is probably equal but different to Tarver at this point in time.

    Tarver was nothing by the time Hopkins got to him.

    The best skilled fighter Pac fought gave him a boxing lesson!:patsch

    Calzaghe Is much more skilled that Manny.

    PBF boxes but doesn't fight, Calzaghe does both.
