I don't know if any of you guys saw this on G. Leon's website, but that egomaniacal Cuban, in his p4p list, friggin' put Cotto at # 16, and - this doesn't even feel write typing, put Barrera at # 17! :tapedshut

Your list is as bad as Leon's. This is piss-poor.
Castillorank 10 is crazy a guy that can't even make weight. Mosley should be on top of castillo
What does making weight have to do with how well you perform your duties inside the square circle?
And Castillo should have no problems making 140. He just won't fight at 135 any more (and neither will Chico).

I have friends who write for B-Talk and I always give them shit about how much of a dumbshit Leon is.
They never tend to disagree, they just want to move on to other topics.
He is obviuosly biased against fighters that give him regular interviews. Like Tarver and Spinks. Also Vernon Forrest made his list. I dont think any of those 3 should be on a top 20 P4P list. Losing to a great fighter doesnt warrant so big a drop (Barrera). Personally, I think thats a pretty bad list.
I've noticed his favorable bias in the past for regular contributors to his site but have never spoken on it.
Dude should be lethally back-handed.
