    Floyd should be off that list.

    Williams moving up on account of Margo winning.

    I've seen this type of rankings movement before, and I do agree with it's logic...but in this case, Williams does not deserve a top 10 or even top 20 P4P slot.

    I agree Floyd should be off the list, ONLY because he retired.

    Why? He has 'retired' before only to fight again, so his word cannot exactly be relied upon.

    Officially a fighter must be inactive for one calendar year before he is dropped from the rankings.

    Exactly their reasoning.

    I don't agree with Floyd being on it, but I don't think it destroys the credibility the BBC enjoys as an institution :lol:

    but this time he even vacated his titles until he says otherwise hes retired and shouldnt be in any list.

    Bigtime hasnt been here a long time maybe he got a job at the BBC with his five master degrees and **** and made that list.

    He's vacated his titles. Called off a fight where he would be earning $20million at least, and slagged off HBO. He's retired.

    Cotto gets KO'd by an unranked P4P fighter and stays at number 5? He'd still be at number 4 but they had to put Margo there...

    neither Williams nor Hatton deserve a top10 ranking currently. A win over Cotto doesn't catapult Margarito into the top 3 either.
    Since Floyd's retired this would make him the 3rd best fighter in the world, according to this list. Completely ridiculous..

    One did for 6 rounds. But thats not the point, what other rankings would allow a boxer to lose to an unranked fighter and only drop one place?
