    I love how everyone gets mad cause Khan is fighting at 143 and Peterson-Matthysse is at 141 but people give credit to Pacquiao for draining Oscar 9 pounds, truly pathetic.

    Dawson followed that up by dropping Diaconu out of the top 10 for good and then went on to easily and decisively beat Hopkins...

    Manny lost to Marquez. When you lose to a fighter with a great legacy it does not hurt the ranking much. Hearns was still ranked high after Barkley stopped him in 1988, but he did lose the p4p ranking.

    Pacquiao fell out of my p4p list when he did that epic faceplant. He had already slipped some from losing close to Marquez and Bradley (yeah I think he lost both of those). And he was only as high as he was before those fights because nobody else was doing anything significant. Now Donaire, Ward, Sergio, and Floyd are making moves. Hopkins would be in my p4p list if it was an age for age list. But his fitness is pretty bad so he has to be careful who he fights now, which makes me think if he was in a stronger division he'd be in trouble.

    If he grabbed a cruiserweight belt, any of them, he'd be in my p4p list.

    Dawson also got KTFO against Ward recently.

    Hopkins never been stopped in his career. P4P is subjective in any case.

    both fighter's have transcended the p4p list at this point in their careers.
    it really doesnt matter anymore if they make it or not based on who has been hot lately.
