    lol @ Mosley, 1 loss in 2 years of fighting gets you at p4p 10 does it? Yet Froch beats current LHW champ Pascal, current SMW champ Dirrell former Champ Taylor and no place for him?

    Oh yeah, Frochs white and British, not an average boxer who is black american.

    Aside from 1, the whole list is a joke.

    Why is B-Hop still there? (Not fighting, and when he does he huggs and fouls his way out)
    Donaire ranked too high, maybe if he beats Darchynian?
    Chris John is there? For beating who? Only credited for Juarez fights...
    And so forth...

    Amir Kahn over John or Kessler? :nono
    Juanma no. 18 and Gamboa nowhere?

    Your top 10 is quite ok, but below that it's questionable. I also have problems with rating Williams no. 4 and Martinez only 11.

    He's 43-0-2. An undefeated world champion into double digit defenses who has a win over Juan Manuel Marquez. ...Why shouldn't he be there? I think he should be higher, if anything.

    WTF WHY? Dawson is the most overated fighter in the world right now bar none. WTF has he done to deserve top 5 P4P recognition???
    Who has he beaten to deserve this???

    Dawson should be between 20-25 based on talent alone his resume has nothing on it yet except Adamek the only prime top class fighter on it.
