My Current Pound-For-Pound List, as of July 2011

Pac
Floyd
Martinez
Marquez
Donaire

 

1. Pacquiao
2. Wladimir Klitschko
3. Bernard Hopkins
4. Sergio Martinez
5. Donaire
6. JMM
7. TimBradleyshead
8. Andre Ward
9. Lucien Bute
T10. Brandon Rios
T10. Miguel Cotto

 

Very close to mine but I include Mayweather...
1. Pac
2. Mayweather
3. Martinez
4. Wlad
5. JMM
6. Donaire
7. Hopkins
8. Vitali
9. Bradley
10. Ward
11. Froch
12. Segura
13. GAMBOA.. pretty close

 

does hopkins really deserve to be as high up as what you are putting in your list?


his body of work from the last 2 1/2 years is

w pts v ornelas
w pts v jones
d v pascal
w pts v pascal


does this really justify hopkins being above someone like froch?

Hopkins lost to C Mitchell, looked terrible when losing to Jones in a tame affair, couldnt beat S Mercado getting put down twice in the process, looked pathetic falling out of the ring and only getting a NC against R Allen, got beat twice by J Taylor, got beat by Calzaghe where Hopkins looked a right tart trying to get time out and couldnt beat Pascal at first time of asking

All that to Popkins makes Hopkins a previous top 10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Froch beats Pascal when undefeated at first ask, something Hopkins couldnt do, Froch beat J Taylor, something Hopkins couldnt do in 2 attempts. Froch loses a close decision to Kessler away, who is a harder fight than anyone Hopkins has beaten

All of that and Froch wasnt in Popkins previous top 20 P4P

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

atsch Popkins logic explained




Popkins is back tracking now with a new P4P list because Headbanger made him look a twat by asking him knowledgeable questions as to how Popkins made up his lists

 

Martinez
Manny
Wlad
Hopkins
JMM
Ward
Bradley
Donaire
Segura
Cotto

I will only rank Floyd after he fights Ortiz, but pretty much the bottom of the list could be easily taken by other fighters. It's just matter of opinions.

 

1) manny pacquiao
2)sergio martinez
3) carl froch
4) juan manuel marquez
5) floyd mayweather ( would be at number two but has been very inactive. his last win was against a shot mosley).
6) wladimir klitschko
7) andre ward
8) nonito donaire
9) bernard hopkins
10) amir khan

 

yeah but you missed out that froch has now beaten phenominal super-middleweight glen johnson, and surely that is enough to put any fighter up a minimum of 15 places on your p4p list :rofl

 

Oh yes, a win over journeyman Johnson is a solid result for any SMW atsch

 

1. Sergio Martinez
2. Floyd Mayweather
3. Nonito Donaire
4. Manny Pacquiao
5. Wlad Klitschko
6. Lucian Bute
7. Giovani Segura
8. Bernard Hopkins
9. Yuriorkis Gamboa
10. Bam Bam Rios

 

yes, it was enough for popkins to also place sheika, ottke, vanderpool, branco, kiwanuka, and sosa in his p4p top 10 when they all beat road warrior glen johnson at super-middleweight :rofl

 

he also put alan green up 10 places in his p4p rankings for lasting 8 rounds with johnson at 168 :rofl

 

My list

Pac
Martinez
Donaire
Jmm
Hopkins
Wlad
Pong
Segura
Ward
Bradley

Notable absentees

Floyd, purely due to inactivity, fully expect him to be number 2 come september, the more I think of the fight, the less chance I give ortiz

Gamboa, feels more and more like circumstance because fights that seemed cherry picks look much better with hindsight, but john is haunting his resume in the fw division and is easily the best guy for him to face

Cotto, beating foreman was great but the guy has been exposed as ****. Beating margo proves nothing to me, wanna see him v a live opponent

Froch, beat ward and he's there

I wanna drop bradley just for ducking khan, but that is stupid. Wlad and pong are there due to longevity and uncontested dominance. Hopkins is there for twice schooling the best lhw in the world.

Unheralded dream matchup: pong v segura, excellent clash of youth v experience with the victor justifying his lofty position. I favour segura to do it with ease and maybe make it as far as bw.

 

got to feel sorry for chad dawson, he loses one close decision to the wonderful jean pascal and then wins a clear decision against diaconu and he goes from number 3 in popkins p4p list and is then totally bombed out of his top 20, a minumum 18 place drop in 11 months

has this sucker forgot that its not that long ago that dawson beat the legendary glen johnson twice :rofl
