    Pacquaio shouldn't have been above Ward, no way is Bradley P4P #2

    Mayweather
    Ward
    Donaire
    Bradley
    Pacquiao
    Marquez

    Juan took emmanuel's spot when he beat him.

    Just because you were robbed doesn't mean you lose your spot or do not take it.

    bradley was shown to be a level below the Mayweathers/Mannys/Marquez's of the world.

    He's already recieved one gift this week, he doesn't need any more by increasing him in P4P rankings.

    P4P lists are one guys opinion, and this guys opinion is bullsh*t. Bradley to me still isn't top 5. If this guy honestly feels Bradley won the fight, well I'll just stop there, I don't know how anybody could think Bradley won more than 4 rounds, and that may be stretch.

    I believe it should be.
    1. PBF
    1. Pacquiao
    3. Marquez
    4. Ward

    I do not have Bradley as 5th. I respect the way he boxed and he did better than some expected and better than manny could against Pacquiao but I didn't have him winning 3 rounds, neither did I have him winning 2 rounds I had it 119-111 and I don't understand it being any closer than 117-111. Tough performance but if any thing this whole thing has just made me become even more disillusioned with the sport of boxing.

    I don't really care too much about Pacquiao (he lost to Marquez after all) but it just pisses me off when someone wins a fight and snakes like Bob Arum pull the strings of peoples careers to better suit themselves financialy.

    Wherever Bradley was sitting before the fight, he remains there. He doesn't go up - because he blatantly lost the fight. And he doesn't go down - because he got beaten by an ATG that's currently just short of the P4P number one spot.

    you cannot place bradley at #2 due to a poor decision. that's ridiculous.

    Amateur move. P4p isn't a tennis ranking where if u win a fight officially u get more points. It's about performance and portfolio. Bradley might've got the w, but his perf didn't warrant any great amount of adulation and his portfolio is still far thinner than many others. I still would put him p4p behind PAC, I d rank him higher in welter standings cos he does have the belt, but p4p one cando what they want - and I don't think he proved himself better than PAC on that night. A top fighter yes but not top 5p4p at pall IMHO.

    5: Nonito Donaire

    Ridiculous. Bradley isn't top 5 P4P.
