Top 10. He stopped Oscar Larios in 1 round. And 3 rounds in the most recent fight. Came back to stop a very tough Jhonny Gonzalez. And now holds a win over Rafa Marquez who was in my top 5 before the fight. Definately in the top 10.
you're stupid, atleast cotto is excting unlike borenard who lost to a guy that couldn't beat little spinks a guy who was stopped by judah a guy who was destroyed by cotto
Yes. A 2-time Ring World Champion now at Super Bantam with wins over Larios X2, Choko Hernandez (who beat Too Sharp Johnson), Jhonny Gonzalez, and now a legit Top 10 P4P in Marquez, by TKO no less, all accomplished in his last 6 fights, Vazquez is Top 10 P4P.
Cotto hasn't beaten a top fighter. You don't rank on excitement. Spinks also beat Judah, don't leave that out. Vasquez has beaten better fighters than Cotto, so I would have him in there instead of Cotto.
If taylor beats Pavlik he deserves top 5 on anyones list easily, if so this man deserves his respect and due props regardless of what anyone thinks of him. I don't like him as a fighter but hes gotten past hop and winky and if he gets by pavlik i think he deserves top 5.
yes he is definitely top 10. I think I underrated him a little bit before the fights with Marquez. After beating Marquez I think I would have him somewhere between 6-10. Im curious to see where The Ring puts him, considering they had Rafa #3 P4P going into the rematch.
15-20, beating someone at #10 doesn't make new #10, the P4P list is for people who continuously win big fights. One time event is not enough.
He has strung together several big wins interrupted by one hard-fought loss against a fellow p4p elite.
Exactly. On top of that Vasquez is exciting to watch. That was a brutal fight. It ranks up there as one of, if not the best fight I've seen all year. Rarely do you get two guys with that much skill with such a relentless attack on one another.
Marquez was #3 by Ring. And Pacman and a few others have vaulted into the top 10 after a big win like this. Hatton did....
top ten or at least very close to it. . . point is he made a name for himself with a great win over a great fighter . . . add to it, both fights were entertaing as hell . . . the rubbermatch should be even better.
He had a name already. Rafael used his victory over Israel - along with his momentum of nearly seven lossless years including pairs of victories over very good fighters in Johnson and Mabuza - to springboard into the p4p top ten. It was at the time his signature and biggest win. :nod
