Martinez and Bute are too low and Hopkins is too high. They have Mayweather #1 so they got something right at least. Unlike The Ring.
it is not gauge by height and reach . . . at 147 pac would enjoy a speed and power advantage. So the question becomes does the height, reach and skill trump the speed, power and skill of pac @ 147. I think you are over estimating wlad' skill because he beat those bums at heavy so easily.
So Wlad is beating bums now? He beats everyone that gets in the ring with him. I consider him by far the best HW out there today and I just can't see how inactive, faded fighters like JMM and Hopkins should be above him p4p. Er, obviously I'm not comparing Wlad's ability and p4p ranking to Pacquiao's and Mayweather's. I'm just saying if there's at least one HW that deserves to be considered for a spot in the top-10, it's Wlad.
I think he is a little high but 3-13 is pretty much wide open, 1 and 2 are without question but it could be in either order. 14 and 15 is questionable but expectable. I think this is not a bad list at all
I agree he is the best and is the most deserving but JMM only looked faded because he was in with PBF but look at what he did with pac and almost anyone else. p4p list tend to be sticky (which I do not agree with) So unless you get beat by a "lesser" opponent or someone destroys p4p guy they tend to hang around. I agree that Bhop is overrated and has been for years. i think Bhop and JMM will start sliding off of these list the question is does wlad go into the top ten when they are gone. what about bute, ward, AA and dirrell? what about Bradley and Alexander ? what about juanma and gamboa?
This is going to be a torrid back and forth for the top spot between Pacquiao and Mayweather. Ring sallied forth with their list first, and the battle lines have been drawn as they say
Joyboys can now go to sleep better at night knowing that somewhere Floyd was placed as #1 p4p. Before they say it's mythical now they say it's the truth. This content is protected
right now wlad should be or he has to be number 3 of the p4p list. i can't see anyone else who is more deserving this spot. he is skillwise better then 99 % of the heavy, cruiser and lightheavyweights... he has a top3 all time p4p jab, has incredible speed for his size, great defense(consist of his jab, reach, distance, timing and clinching) and an all time heavyweight top 5 power. he did more in the last 5 years then guys like williams, martinez, donaire, lopez, dawson and so on...
a mosley win is better than a cotto win. a very subjective list. and the floydettes can now go to sleep better at night.:good
