    A group of thirty elite sport journalists worlwide voted for a p4p January 2011 ranking assembled by Yahoo Sports.

    The first observation is , excepting two boxers, this is resemblant to the Ring Magazine ranking.

    Secondly we see Ward as No. 5 and Hopkins as No. 11 ,Bute as No. 12, regarding voting pointage.Every journalist made his p4p where the first place received ten points, second place 9 points and so on until tenth place 1 point).

    The big surprise regarding other reputated rankins is Ward on 5.Probably even Dan Rafael is surprised.
    Bute has received his best position in a professional ranking (was 18th in Ring`s 2010 an 14th in ESB voters`)

    From 30 journalists just one still saw Mawweather ahead of Paquiao.(could owe something to Dan Rafael I guess :lol:).

    Don't think I could put Ward any higher than 10..

    Hopkins, Froch, Donaire, Juan Ma should be above him.

    Ward gets ranked purely on skill. One win should not give him that.
