yeah bernard is questionable too , But cotto got his ass beat 2 times in his last 3 fights when many thought he lost to clottey aswell and since his last devastating loss he's inactive , Marquez is top 3 talented fighter in the sport imo, but he's so inactive its really annoying , so until he fights and beats somebody decent i wouldnt rank him top 10, And I like Marquez more than adamek. Wlad should definetely be in the list if u put somebody like donaire in there who has one good win on his record and is beating no-names since then. Anyway outside of the top 3-5 its all arguable.
The winner of this fight should fight David Haye. That would be another great heavyweight fight. :happy
I thought this was a joke thread until read some of the post. NO HEAVYWEIGHT SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF IN THE LB4lb RANKINGS!!!!! if he was still 175 or 200 and beat Cris then he would make the top 15. I like these guys but heavyweights do not have the skills required to even be in the same sentence as lb4lb.
Nonito Donaire is one of best techincally skilled boxers these days, including his speed and timing, wow! I really see him in the top 10, where's no place for Wlad imo, I'd prefer Ward or Bute instead, and that way we may make a nice p4p list Also, we will see how's Mosley-Mayweather gon look, it will mix top 10, for sure top 3. Let's wait. ps. Adamek ! :happy
Holyfield and Jones were definitely up there, to list just a few examples. Not to mention lesser HW fighters like James Toney.
Why? Is it the shiny trinket Haye is holding, while having a free ride at HW? Adamek's resume at CW (no loss, slightly better opposition) is a bit better than Haye's and if he defeats Arreola, you can easily argue his superiority at HW as well. Couple that with his LHW campaign and Adamek should easily rank higher than Haye in P4P rankings. Again, if he beats Arreola.
hmmm, hard to say really because Arreola's biggest fight to date was receiving an ass whipping at the hands of the champ. Adamek will be only his second 'live' opponent so I guess Adamek's rep will only improve if Arreola puts in a good performance despite being beat.
not sure why beating a lard ass would put you pound for pound anything...it would be a good win, thats it
