BBC's updated P4P list

Umm, Dawson is more than worthy for what he's done in the past few years. Far more so than Gamboa, Lopez or Valero.

 

Fair point.

 

True dat.

 

I've said this many times but if anybody can seriously think of 10 more deserving names than Dawson I'll eat my hat right now. Especially now he's cleared up the Glen Johnson thing that was tarnishing him in some peoples eyes. JohnsonX2 Tarver X2 and Adamek. There are not 10 better records than that of active fighters even though Tarver especially is well past it. The Gamboa's, Valero's and Lopez's of this world have not beaten any top top names and neither has Hasegawa as much as I like him. Donaire has more of a shout since he beat Darchinyan but one swallow does not make a summer, he could do with fighting some better competition.

 

With the right girl it would make mine

 

I still think Vic Darchinyan above Dawson AND Donaire;

 

Johnson and Tarver twice? Seriously?

 

Yes Johnson and Tarver twice. They are proven commodities. State the case for Valero why don't you...

 

Horrible list.

 

Don't really see Bradley in enough P4P lists compared to the amount of times you see Juanma or Calderon or even Hasegawa. The original list wouldn't be far off mine probably swap Cotto & Williams, Izzy out Wald in, Juanma out and bradley in.

Might even drop Hopkins out he has been off the main scene that long.

 

Not all that horrific.I've seen worse lists on boxrec

I think Paul Williams is high tbh,aswell as Izzy.Sack off JuanMa.You could put forward a strong case for Wladimir Klitschko and Vitali is worth considering(perhaps not top 10 though)

 

Also,surely inactivity starts to work against Bernard and Shane?

Valero might crack a top 50-at which point such lists become pointless

 

Yeah i remember he had his name throwing around but for me he is near enough the same as JuanMa who keeps getting a mention. JuanMa has De Leon & Penolosa and Mtagwa not 3 top names by any means. Caballero has De Leon & Molitor. There next fights will probably separate them with Juanma taking on Luevano who is probably the 2nd most credible fighter at featherweight. Caballero will probably get an easier task.

 

Lopez nearly got knocked out in his last fight against a determined nobody, and as others have said, Izzy's inactivty and level of shotness probably mean he isn't top ten material anymore. I like the rest of the list, Top 6 is the same as mine.
