Hatton out of Ring Mag p4p top 10

His name is Hopkins... Well that didn't help him much in the Taylor fights. Hopkins is not very popular at all and it seems he has to win a vast majority of the rounds for a fight to go his way.

 

atsch I would say his resume is better to be honest.

 

Euh... hein? :dead

 

Marquez's resume is interestingly empty for his talent level, outside of fighting Pac and Barrera, he's only got a few good fighters here and there and Barrera was very much out of his best days.

Mismanagement.

People don't remember how irritated that boxing world was with JMM prior to his signing with GoldenBoy and sinking the Barrera bout, because he was cleaning out asian C level fighters for the most part.

He fought a Victor Polo here and there, a Manuel Medina, but these aren't marquee names or top class's.

 

Sounds quite similar to someone else...

 

Correct, but the other has been more consistent and has never lost, against better overall competition, that was my point. They have many similiarities in career paths actually, both couldn't land a good fight for a long time.

 

Perhaps so, Mike.......

 

You can argue that he shouldn't have been in there in the first place, but to drop him completely after just winning and barely dropping a single round against one of there top ten contenders seems a little unfair.

What happens if Pavlic drops a round to Gary Locket (who isnt even a ring top 10 contender) will he be chucked off the list to.

*nothing against Pavlik*

 

Hopkins at 5 at this point is like having RJJ at 11 and oscar at 12.

 

why is juan manuel marquez there and so high!? number 4. i dont understand.....he beat MAB and has had 2 close contests with pac but that is it. no one else stands out on his record so i dont understand why he is number 4 p4p

 

You beat a then top 10 p4p in MAB and have 2 very close controversial fights with the no.2 p4p. Surely he cant be too bad. His ranking is perfect at 4 imo. Cant rank him above Calzaghe and the only other fighter that could possibly claim a higher ranking based on current ability and resume is Cotto.

 

The Ring's P4P ratings are good. I only have a couple of objections (mainly Hopkins there, so high).

 

While I agree that The Ring's P4P ratings are good, I can't agree with dropping Hatton out of the top 4. No way should Hopkins be sitting at 5. He's definitely in the top 10. But none of his recent performances have convinced me that he should be sitting so high on the list.

 

Bernard Hopkins at #5?!?

Wowzers.

 

RECENTLY JMM beat MAB, destroyed Rocky Juarez and has two very close disputed decisions with Pac on his recent resume.

I think the problem with some P4P lists is that it's a lifetime achievement award list at times. What has Hopkins done recently to earn himself #5 P4P?
