It's a travesty that Paul Williams isn't in the top 10 P4P rankings.

    I don't know what's going on with the Ring and their P4P rankings lately. Why they continue to put Caballero in the top 10 is beyond reason :nut I mean seriously, can anyone OBJECTIVELY justify this ranking?

    And I don't think Donaire and Vic belong in the top 10. If they do, they should be borderline and not 7 and 8.

    You want to talk about guys that truly belong in the P4P rankings? Paul Williams. This guy is the very definition of "Pound for Pound". I mean no more needs to be said if you see what he's been doing the last 2 years.

    Another guy is Chad Dawson. What does this guy need to do to get some love? He beat Johnson, Tarver, Adamek and Harding. WTF?

    What the hell has PW done that no one else hasn't? Hell MOsley KTFO Margarito. Williams squeaked by him.

    Umm, just meditate on the term "Pound for Pound" and ask yourself how this relates to PW and what weight he has fought at the last couple of years and the success he has had. Not to mention the fact that he can't get any elite WW to fight him.

    I would bump out Vasquez, Marquez, and Caballero. Throw in Vitali and PW and JuanMa or arguably Chris John who is a damn good fighter

    Williams doesnt deserve to be there but Donaire probably doesnt deserve it either.

    Dawson should be there.

    Personally I avoid arguments over so called P4P status. The term is over-used and over-hyped.

    If you want to see him in a P4P go to dan Rafael/ESPN's P4P they have Williams at #5.

    How is Nonito Donaire on anyone's list is beyond me. Besides KO Darchynian a while back what has he done to be considered a P4P fighter.

    Donaire was also on ESPN's list.

    ummmm! He barely beat Margarito, he lost to Quintana at 147, then he won the rematch by 1st rd KO, where's the rubber match? Anyway, then he fights a few nobodies and an old Winky, oh yeah, P4P eh?

    Williams needs to earn his shot at Mosley, after all PW barely beat Tony, Mosley raped him.
