    i agree with that

    winner of Diaz vs Malignaggi should be 10th unless Bailey wins where i think he should crack the top 10 also

    I can't add any guys under lsuper bantum to be honest, it's just too difficult as I never get to see them fight hardly.

    I haven't ranked Vazquez cos he hasn't fought in a year. If I had he would have been above Marquez.

    And Dawson? The guy's a LHW Andre Berto IMO.

    Vasquez and Mayweather should not be on the P4P list until they return. Anyone that been out for 365 days+ is to inactive.

    That is horse **** right there. He's beat the current cruiserweight champion, Antonio Tarver twice and Glen Johnson. What has Berto done again?

    Let's pick some holes :p

    Explain to me using any line of reasoning how Arthur Abraham can be above Kelly Pavlik. I await your reply :yep

    He beat Tarver and Johnson. Better than anyone on Bertos record.

    I have never really rated Pavlik so I went with AA. After 10 my list if very poor, I realised the talent pool at the top end of the sport is very shallow.

    Tarver wasn't all that when Dawson beat him, Woods flattered him IMO and the Johnson fight was much too close. Not the performance of a p4p top 10 guy.

    Kos, where are the pictures you've promised:think? Also, Bradley should be the first 'August Boxer of the Month', IMO:good.

    And that is something to be ashmed of? Have you got to completely outclass Glen Johnson like 10-2 to get any credit around here? He's been knocked out once in his career and who can you name that ever beat him convincingly outside that? Glen is a top 3 light heavy and has been for a while. Dawson won 8-4 in my eyes but is even giving Glen a rematch to prove the point. The kid is the real deal, no bull****. I respect him for that.

    Considering Johnson was FULLY robbed against Clinton Woods I don't see how he gets completely underrated and used as some kind of stick to beat on Dawson.

    Besides, Dawson beat the current cruiserweight champ with ease and everybody likes to forget that.

    Adamek has the weight drained excuse ;)

    I had Dawson-Johnson a draw and he's only giving the rematch cos HBO are forcing him to.

    Mate, you get much too angry. I am saying the place thus far is justified, IMO. I'm not laying into you. Surely by my post it shows how much I rate Johnson?:think

    I'm not angry at all, I'm raising simple issues. Dawson is completely underrated, its a joke.

    Nobody watched him beat Adamek I swear. They didn't, they can't have. That same guy that is tearing up the cruiserweights right now. Dawson made him look an amateur most of that fight.
