    I have it

    1) Pacman
    2) Calzaghe
    3) Hopkins
    4) Marquez
    5) Vasquez
    6) Mijares
    7) Ivan Calderon
    8 . Paul Williams

    What with losses to Cotto and Pavlik, and my insistence that I'm not going to put Margarito in because of one GREAT win, I find it hard to justify putting 9 and 10 in without feeling completely happy about it. For example, Rafa Marquez, fantastic, performed admirably in his last three fights, but lost his last two. He just misses out too.

    Any suggestions? Or would you guys still have Pavlik/Cotto/Margarito in yout top 10 P4P?

    Obviously. I just mean that their losses mean I can't currently rank them as having P4P the best form.

    3rd. Pac then JMM then Hop then Calzaghe. I have Hopkins over Calzaghe because IMO Hop won their fight 114-113, and in the last couple of years wins over Tarver, Wright and Pavlik beat wins over Lacy, Kessler and... Manfredo.

    I agree! Bhop should be ranked between 3 to 5 in my opinion.

    Funny thing is that Jmm is ranked #2 while his supposedly biggest win is over Ultra prime CASA.

    We ALL KNOW the story of the winner of the CASA vs STa Cruz :lol: :lol: :lol: .

    Why not?

    Hypothetically, if the best fighter and the second best fighter in the world fought, the best fighter would win. Why do you think that means the other is no longer the second bext fighter in the world?

    Casa deserved that lost after that robbery from Santa Cruz!

    I seen it live and was in shock. To see a robbery that blatant in this day in age that was something else.

    1) JMM (i feel he won both fights and has a more impressive win at 135 over Casa)
    2) Manny
    3) Calzaghe (made hopkins look very poor when in reality he wasn't old,shot or **** all, Calzaghe just showed extreme workrate, ring intelligence and adaptability, it's bull**** to think people will come out with same excuses in a few weeks time.)
    4) Hopkins (amazing performance what i thought would happen happened but it is only so amazing because of his age, pavlik ain't great far from it and i have said this for a long time)
    5) Vazquez
    6) Margarito
    7) Mijares
    8) Calderon
    9) Munoz
    10) Cotto (losing to margo doesn't throw him off completly,it was a fight that style were never going to allow him to win, still feel he beats every other WW and i'm not a fan of his)

    Nowhere, he stays exactly where he's at. Pavlik drops out.
    Also, I love Tony Margarito but he shouldn't be on the list. He's a welterweight. He's pretty much always been a welterweight, and he's a great welterweight, IMO the best today. But his style doesn't translate into being able to beat bigger men and he hasn't done much outside of that division to justify P4P rankings.
