Has not fought anyone worth a damn since Calzaghe which was a loss. He is top ten material, but needs a big fight to get there!
1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Juan Manuel Marquez 3. Bernard Hopkins 4. Shane Mosley 5. Miguel Cotto 6. Israel Vasquez 7. Rafael Marquez 8. Ricky Hatton 9. Ivan Calderon 10. Vic Darchinyan 11. Celestino Caballero 12. Juan Manuel Lopez 13. Nonito Donaire 14. Kelly Pavlik 15. Wladimir Klitschko 16. Vitaly Klitschko 17. Arthur Abraham 18. David Haye 19. Tomasz Adamek 20. Chad Dawson Theres a few people on my top 20 that could move but im waiting to judge on their next fight.
Can someone make a good case to me why Williams should be higher than Hatton? Hatton resume and achievements just seem so much better than Wiliam's.
Ok fair enough i forgot Paul Williams, hes majorly getting overhyped because of his victory against Winky! To be fair Winky hasnt fought in a couple of years and is getting old nowadays! As for Pac i assume when Joe Calzaghe was still fighting he was your number one then? At the end of the day Pac beat Marquez twice therefore hes above him for me that could all change May 2nd though. As for Hopkins what has he done more than Pac to deserve to be above him, yes Hopkins is very good but Pacman hasnt done anything wrong in a longtime whilst jumping divisions winning consistently.
winning against JUan Diaz suddenly makes you number 1? Infact Campbell won more convincingly than JMM against Diaz i terms of dominance or totaL rounds won. Up to the KO, the scorecards were almost even.
Hopkins disagrees with you, he rates Pac over JMM & himself. I think Hopkins is a better judge of his own ability Besides, apart from the usual pac haters, yourself, nallege, possibly finito, jeff m and some n00bs, give me these names that has Hopkins over Pac. Give me some major websites & publications that has Hopkins over Pac. How dooes one know he is a hater? When he disagrees with Hopkins himself and says Hopkins is above Pac!
I guess winning fights head to head have no meaning, or no bearing in a talk of p4p lists...Which only goes to show how worthless that most peoples list. Not only did Dawson beat Adamek. he totally outclassed him.. Donaire beat up and knocked out Vic. The only one I could give you a past on is Shane and Cotto, that was a close fight that could have gone either way... Now dont give me that what has he done since grabage, cuz Adamek hasnt done anything that was more impressive then what Dawson did. In fact I would bet money that the guys that Dawson beat since that fight would beat the guys that Adamek has fought since that fight.
But you could argue that even though Vic and Adamek have lost to Donaire and Dawson.... both Vic and Adamek have gone on to better things... Adamek is now the man at CW and Vic is the undisputed Jr Bantanweight champ
