    Briber vs Pauli was a draw.

    If who they win against counts, how in the **** can you have Wlad at #2 and GGG anywhere in the top 10? Wlad's beating up blown up cruiserweights and fat ****s who can't box, and GGG hasn't beaten much of anyone yet. Guillermo's masterclass against Donaire > any win on either of their resumes by far.

    Wlad's beaten more top 10 contenders than Rigo has fights. That's why. H2H, there's no dominance edge for Guillermo because Wlad rarely loses a round himself.

    As for GGG, in-ring dominance is the main area- the same primary reason I rate Rigo as highly as I do. Rigo gets the edge because of that one superior win, but one great win sure as hell isn't going to make him surpass someone who's been heavyweight champion since before he turned pro. Not in my book.

    Donaire should still be in the top 10

    I also don't think Broner deserves to be in the p4p top 10 list

    Wlad's opponents P4P also aren't in the same stratosphere as Nonito. Yeah, he's dominant... He's dominating nothing but straight up cans though. Same with GGG. Yeah, he's dominant, but who has he beaten who is anywhere in the top 50 P4P? Nobody. He's awesome at knocking out c-level fighters, but so was Jeff Lacy, and look how he turned out.

    Wlad holds 21 wins over fighters who were rated top 10 at some point in their careers. I think something like 11 of those were over guys who had held a title at some point or were unification fights.

    Rigo has 12 career fights.

    Just how much weight should one single win carry?

    Also, David Haye should've been a top 10 P4P fighter heading into that fight- I don't know if he was or not, but being a unified cruiserweight champ and following that up by beating the largest heavyweight titlist in history should've got the job done.

    You gotta be high as **** or drunk and British to believe Haye was ever a top 10 P4P fighter. :verysad

    Style makes fights. Don't you know that?

    JMM is a counter puncher. Mayweather is a better counter puncher with a better defense and he knew that. Mayweather would have trouble with the more aggressive, light footed, non-stop volume puncher with power.

    First Cruiserweight champion to pick up a heavyweight strap since Holyfield.
    Beat the biggest heavyweight champ in history despite being outweighed by 99 lbs. Yeah, that counts for something.

    Madness is ranking one great win over a career of accomplishment that literally dwarfs the other. But yet, people will rank a featherweight with 12 fights over a guy who's heavyweight championship career alone is nearly twice as many fights.

    Makes total sense :lol:
