    lmao... The P4P rankings... Like it's real or something. Like it matters.

    Hopkins might not be top 30.

    Well, I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

    I find you to be an insightful poster, however, when you gave your input on a hypothetical Margarito vs. Winky match or a Victor Ortiz vs. Prime Zab Judah match, were those real? There's no way a Victor Ortiz vs. Prime Zab Judah could possibly happen. It's highly unlikely that a Winky Wright vs. Margarito match ever happens(and impossible for a Margo/Wright match that matters).

    Just because it seems like it "doesn't matter" doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile question to ask. If you want to disregard the title of p4p rankings, that's fine. Then just answer the question hypothetically, do you think anyone passed him up as a generally better boxer after the last 2 performances.

    I'm a fan but I don't think he's a pound 4 pound fighter anymore. Might still have a couple of good wins left in him though.

    He dropped out my top ten after this fight.

    That was a freaking awful performance AGAINST A GUY WHO CAN'T THROW A PUNCH ANYMORE.

    Plus I'm about over his playacting.

    Yes. He looked poor against Calzaghe and not exactly brilliant against Winky Wright. I'm thinking he probably slipped from elite fighter status a few years ago and Pavlik just happened to be the right guy with the right simplistic style to make him look great one last time.
