    I'd have Diaz at 3 or 4 and Pav wouldnt make the top 10 imo.

    i don't see why calzaghe is higher then pacquiao, the pacman has fought better opponents in the past year and dismantled them more easily

    I couldnt disagree more. Pac imho has not faced a prime fighter for quite some time and a faded MAB doesnt cut it for a supposed p4p fighter.

    Most of Pacs recent opponents have all been coming from losses (abot 6 out of 8 of them or thereabouts)

    Its ok. But JC at 2nd place is a farce. P4P Pac and Cotto`s resume is far better. JC should be 5th or 6th on the list at best.

    Spot on, Pavlik beat the man who beat the man who beat the man, by KO as well.

    What about the introduction of Chris John? I know he beat Marquez but since that fight he hasnt done alot (in terms of opposition).

    I wouldnt have Pavlik as high either, its kind of like when Mayorga beat Forrest and people elevated him into the P4P rankings after beating one fighter twice.

    Agreed. I dont really understand the Chris John addition. To be honest since Shane Felix RJJ DLH and B Hop have fallen off i dont really pay much attention to these mystical rankings as to be honest those fighters seem fairly ordinary. The afore mentioned 5 are all ATG`s and locks for the HOF.

    Hopkins at number 7? He lost twice to the man who lost twice to the man at number 5.

    P4P rankings are fun but ultimately bull****.

    We agree (I think!!) IF Pavliks number 5 then Hopkins is not number 7 IMO.

    I thought the same aswell, i think Hatton should have been included, he lost to the number 1, honestly dont understand why Hopkins is so high. I would have him at 9 or 10, thats if a had a list.
