    Beating Hopkins twice put him in the top 10; as long as he keeps winning, he should stay there.

    I see your point, but too many fighters have looked better in their fights since then. I'm not so sure being top 10 p4p is something that should be tenured in such a way that once you're in, you're in until you lose no matter how you perform. Honestly, I'd put guys like Cotto above Taylor at this stage because of that very reason.

    It doesn't mean Jermain's not a world class fighter, but with a couple dozen high quality guys out there, I don't think he's defended his spot enough to stay top 10.

    I really don't consider Taylor overrated because he has been getting a lot of criticism lately due to his recent performances and Ring dropped him out of the P4P list.

    I'm not a fan of Taylor, nor do I think he will beat Kelly Pavlik, but I respect him for his willingness to take on the best. He holds two wins over B-Hop, drew with Winky Wright, and heas beaten former/current champions such as Joppy, Marquez, Ouma, and Spinks. He is a world class elite fighter who could beat anybody at middleweight. If anything, I would say he is slightly underrated by some.

    Sheer lunacy to say this. The only person that believes Shannon Briggs' bull**** is Shannon Briggs and I know I do my damnedest to shred any notion of him as a competent, competitive heavyweight. Luckily, because few if any people hold this view, I don't have to work very hard at all.

    The answer is definitely Hatton.


    And the people who love Margarito love him for his destruction of B-level competition (plus Cintron) thus giving him the appearance that A-level fighters are scared to tangle with him. Not true, there's just no money in it.
