P4P top 30 post yours, Ring Magazine?

I guess no one wants to get criticized on their list.. I guess I'll be the first to post my top 20.. I know I'll probably get **** for my rankings, but hey, no one else is posting theirs.. I'm also bored with nothing to do so what the hell.. I could be biased on my list with Mayweather gone from #1, but I'll stay unbiased here..

01. Floyd Mayweather
02. Manny Pacquiao
03. Joe Calzaghe
04. Miguel Cotto
05. Juan Marquez
06. Bernard Hopkins
07. Israel Vazquez
08. Rafael Marquez
09. Ivan Calderon
10. Kelly Pavlik
11. Cristian Mijares
12. Mikkel Kessler
13. Arthur Abraham
14. Wladimir Klitschko
15. Antonio Margarito
16. Ricky Hatton
17. David Haye
18. Chad Dawson
19. Shane Mosley
20. Chris John
21. Joshua Clottey
22. Joan Guzman
23. Lucian Bute
24. Nonito Donaire
25. Steve Molitor

I think it's pretty fair..

 

Not a bad list by any means. Mine goes (from what I remember):

1) PBF
2) Pac
3) JC
4) Cotto
5) JMM
6) Vazquez
7) Mijares
8) Guzman
9) Marquez
10) Pavlik
11) Calderon
12) Wlad
13) BHop
14) John
15) Kess
16) Haye
17) Montiel
18) JDiaz
19) Cunningham
20) Dawson

This is off the top of my head and is probably off from my actual list, but I figured what the hell

 

I had thought at some point of posting a bunch of polls on ESB in this style:

i figured that with enough of these polls i could establish a general consensus esb p4p list but i got lazy. The fighters that i was gonna involve were, in no particular order

Floyd
Pac
Calz
Cotto
JMM
Kessler
Haye
Shane Mosley
Jorge Linares
Vlad
Hopkins
Chris John
Ricky Hatton
Lucian Bute
Steve Molitor

Kelly Pavlik
Nonito Donaire
Rafa Marquez
Joan Guzman
Jermain Taylor

Cory Spinks
Nate Campbell
Oscar
Calderon
Juan Diaz
Arthur Abraham
Antonio Margarito
Steve Cunningham

 

1. Mayweather (barely)
2. Calzaghe
3. Pacquiao
4. JM Marquez
5. Vasquez
6. Cotto
7. Mijares
8. Calderon
9. R Marquez
10. Dawson
11. Haye
12. Guzman
13. Montiel
14. Kessler
15. Pavlik
16. Campbell
17. Abraham
18. Mosley
19. Casamayor
20. Forrest

Probably some bad ommisions, but it's late and I'm tired :|

 

Good list. I think everyone forgets about Cunningham, and I believe he belongs in the mix

 

I forgot all about Linares & Taylor.. I'd probably put them somewhere between 15-20 maybe..

 

yea he does

 

I like this list

 

steve lol

 

Most lists are good, though Calderon has done nothing to be considered top 15 calibre, considering the very poor opposition level. Even if you ranked him highly H2H, he's slipping from his prime.

It's unfair he's regarded higher than more deserving fighters. I'd have him somewhere around 20.

And Cunningham, give me a break! Not even top 25.

 

where's your list.

 

It'd probably be like this..

01. Calzaghe
02. Mijares
03. Gamboa
..and so on

Calderon is an excellent fighter and is the best tech fighter right now, IMO.. He might not have power, but he will beat you convincingly..

 

Mine would be something along the lines of -

1 - VACANT
2 - Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacqauio
3 - Joe Calzaghe
4 - JMM
5 - Miguel Cotto
6 - Israel Vasquez
7 - Cristian Mijares
8 - Rafael Marquez
9 - David Haye
10 - Joan Guzman
11 - Mikkel Kessler
12 - Kelly Pavlik
13 - Fernando Montiel
14 - Shane Mosely
15 - Chad Dawson
16 - Nate Campbell
17 - Nonito Donaire
18 - Vernon Forrest
19 - Wladimir Klitschko
20 - Ivan Calderon
21 - Arthur Abraham
22 - Bernard Hopkins
23 - Sergey Dzinziruk
24 - Juan Diaz
25 - Ricky Hatton
26 - Steve Molitor
27 - Joachim Alcine
28 - Steve Cunningham
29 - Tomasz Adamek
30 - Antonio Tarver

...........

I just feel it's incorrect to rank someone like Calderon over guys who are not only better, but have done more. Some of mine would be questionable, like Forrest, but I rank on H2H and accomplishment.

#1 is vacant because Floyd is doing nothing this year and Pac didn't get the win over Marquez, so I have them tied up. Which ever top fighter in that running gets a serious win, gets the top spot.

Margarito doesn't even belong in the top 30, I just saw that, that is absurd.

I try to give mention to good talents who have gained good wins that go underlooked because the establishment won't recognise them.
