New Ring Magazine P4P List: Calzaghe overtakes Marquez to #3 spot

Isn't Hopkins 2-3 in his last five fights? #5 p4p? What a completely worthless list.

or he could rematch Hatton after DLH and then a rematch againts Baldomir and Judah to keep himself where he is right now. I agree 100%. Without older, small, just beaten mexicans available, he has to take the second most pathetic route to money, and leave true greatness to those who have old mexicans at hand.

Do you agree with The Ring ratings? Last Week: 1 FLOYD MAYWEATHER 2 MANNY PACQUIAO 3 JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ 4 BERNARD HOPKINS 5 JOE CALZAGHE 6 ISRAEL VAZQUEZ 7 MIGUEL COTTO 8 RICKY HATTON 9 KELLY PAVLIK 10 RAFAEL MARQUEZ After Calzaghe SD Hopkins 1 FLOYD MAYWEATHER 2 MANNY PACQUIAO 3 JOE CALZAGHE 4 JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ 5 BERNARD HOPKINS 6 ISRAEL VAZQUEZ 7 MIGUEL COTTO 8 RICKY HATTON 9 KELLY PAVLIK 10 RAFAEL MARQUEZ Source: http://www.thering-online.com/ringpages/ratings2.html P4P Vazquez looks way better than both of them.

I agree 100%. Mayweather should find himself some past his prime mexican fighters from 140 and fight them at 147, so that he could really claim to be the best. To really prove he was the best, he should get them while they come off losses or lackluster performances. or he could rematch Hatton after DLH and then a rematch againts Baldomir and Judah to keep himself where he is right now.

Hopkins at 5 is too high, and he was also too high at 3. Maybe it is just me.

I have Pacman #1 , Floyd has picked his opponents wisely but hes still the best boxer out there based on his ability. But i would have to go with Pacman with what hes accomplished in the recent years I agree 100%.

Seems fine to me. I really wish you had made this poll public so we could see all the people who said Joe should be #1.:lol1:

At least calz is not a GBP fighter because had he been, imagine people from this forum's reaction.

Do you agree with The Ring ratings? After Calzaghe SD Hopkins 1 FLOYD MAYWEATHER 2 MANNY PACQUIAO 3 JOE CALZAGHE 4 JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ 5 BERNARD HOPKINS 6 ISRAEL VAZQUEZ 7 MIGUEL COTTO 8 RICKY HATTON 9 KELLY PAVLIK 10 RAFAEL MARQUEZ Source: http://www.thering-online.com/ringpages/ratings2.html I would moved BHOP at 10. Ricky Hatton at 9. R. Marquez at 8. I believed its unfairt for Rafa to be at 10. Even thoug BHOP lost by split decion, he wasn't impressive. Ricky got KO'ed. While Rafa was impressive even though he lost, it was a war against Vasquez.

Rafael Marquez should be ahead of Hatton but that's the only problem I see on the Ring list.

Why is Hatton so high? Because he's in the GB stable? Hatton is so high because he beat the number three then dominated his division losing only to the number one on the list. Also the people who vote on the list think he's that likely to win.

Why is Hatton so high? Because he's in the GB stable?

My Top Ten 1 FLOYD MAYWEATHER 2 JOE CALZAGHE 3 MANNY PACQUIAO 4 JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ 5 MIGUEL COTTO 6 ISRAEL VAZQUEZ 7 BERNARD HOPKINS 8 KELLY PAVLIK 9 RAFAEL MARQUEZ 10 JUAN DIAZ

I think the Ring list is pretty close to spot on. Hatton is in the top ten because if you take away size as a factor he's always tough to beat. His only loss came when he moved up in weight against the number one in the list and there is no reason to drop a number eight guy down for losing to the number one. He's expected to lose.

its a good list

Calzaghe is number two for me followed by Pacquiao, Cotto and Marquez.

Hopkins should be out......even his performance didn't deserve a split decision. If you feel he should be out then you should also have a problem with Calzaghe's position. Why should he move up from 5 to 3 if could barely get the decision over a 11+ P4P fighter? Personally I have no problem with the list.

Seeing the JMM lost his fight and Joe won his... I would agree but if i'm not mistaken I think the pound 4 pound lists is supposed to identify who would be the best if all these fighters were in the same weight class and fought each other. No disrespect to Joe but if JMM and Joe were in the same weight class and fought each other Joe wouldn't stand a chance. JMM is a way better boxer.

I am ok with him at 3 , in my rankings i have him 2 and Pacquiao at 3
