    It's gone even shitter now IMO.



    1. Pacquiao
    2. Mayweather
    3. Marquez
    4. Donaire
    5. Mosley
    6. Dawson
    7. Williams
    8. Martinez
    9. Wonjongkam
    10. Caballero
    So Nonito Donaire is the 4th best boxer in the world? Is he balls.

    Why the **** is Pong there now? He's on a good run as of late but P4P top 10? I don't think so.

    Caballero? WTF? They've ranked him for ages. Apparently beating Steve Molitor is enough to get you on the list.

    They dropped Hopkins and Cotto this week to make room for Pong and Martinez. Hopkins should have gone ages ago.

    No P4P list should be taken seriously

    Williams and Martinez too low.

    No Adamek or WALDO.

    Dawson too high, Donaire on there :patsch

    The Ring's refusal to include Wlad is making them seem a joke, some of the guys they select as alternatives just make it worse.

    Donaire is not even top ten.

    No.4 is COMPLETELY unjustifiable. What about Perez, who beat the man who also beat Darchinyan (and more recently than 3 years ago)

    Yhonny Perez=P4P no.1 :deal

    Wonjongkam? That is so bizarre, there are plenty of fighters that are more talented and/or have much better recent records than him. Wlad, Haye, Adamek, Dirrell, Bute, John, Bradley, Alexander, Berto? Surely at least one of these guys could be considered better than Wonkongkam?

    For me, current p4p ratings are all about current form, not p4p greatness, which is a separate issue and is respresented by a separate list. Mosley just lost in a one sided manner, he should not be where he is, i wouldn;t even have him on the list personally. Not to discredit the man in terms of his career, like i say, that's a separate list for me. But get him off that list.
