    Personally, I do not, but that's only because BHop wasn't expected to win that fight, whereas Floyd was an overwhelming favorite.

    Even i have toned down the Mayweather **** talking since he signed to fight Mosley even though i still think hes a douche outside the ring and that is clear everytime he opens his mouth.

    Yup,i think that the JMM version that fought Mayweather is better than the Pavlik version that fought Hopkins but Hopkins probably gets more credit cause of his age and cause Pavlik was undefeated:good

    Apparenty heavies shouldn't be included in p4p lists, the Klitschkos in there looks like a token gesture.

    Anyway ... **** list.

    Dude, after Hopkins won he stared at Press Row like he had just conquered Ancient Rome. After Floyd won they didn't even let him have an interview, all they asked about was why he didn't fight a WW. :lol:

    I was appauled at Floyd's choice of JMM as an opponent and thought he should've fought a WW contender, but that doesn't change the fact that his performance was very impressive.

    I just think there is a heavy double standard with BHop and Floyd. And if you use BHops age as an excuse, then fine, but don't place him in the top 5 P4P and hold him to different standards :good

    I have no idea how people interview him without hitting him in the head with a chair or something. I don't have the patience for guys like him, who can't even answer a question :patsch

    Personally I think Klitschko should be higher than PW. He is a lot more dominant thats for sure.

    Boxing needs new blood. Half of these guys are inactive (Mosley, Bhop) or lost their last fight (Williams, Marquez).

    Take a look at those scribes and they all almost all American (there is a guy from Die Welt, god help those poor people who read that ****). I'm shocked to see AA and the K's so high... but all others, as many posters pointed, hints to a huge American bias, just with the Ring, ESPN and other similar lists. But that's fine, as long as people realise that.

    PW has no huge following?! Come on, the reason some of us become agitated with PW because he has a HUGE fan following and INDUSTRY following (HBO dates for him). He made a living of calling him self the most feared and avoided fighter...he is hailed as a superstar by HBO... nothing against the guy, who is a solid fighter, but making him on #3 p4p, and having HBO dates for himself, is nothing short of scandalous.

    Agreed i had Martinez winning by 2 points. I actually have Martinez ahead of Williams on my list but if they want to go with the Official winner fine but not no damn no 3 and no 16:patsch

    Your right about Floyd's performance that night, but it was not unexpected.

    Agree on BHop in general, just not about that nite.
