    That's what I did, which is why Winky is #2 (shared with Pacman) and Taylor is #4.

        I think that is a good call. Taylor has had controversial fights, but he shouldnt be penalized because the judges thought he won.
        I also think having both Winky and Pac at number 2 is an interesting concept, but I personally would rather have one fighter at one position, even though I think it will change shortly. ( i.e. this weekend when Winky decisions Ike)

          I think his competitiveness with Winky (whether or not you thought he won or not) shows he belongs in the top 5.

            Yeah, I'm also the guy that pimped your mom to your dad, telling him she'd bare him an intelligent child.....so, I'm not always right.

              Taylor is top 5, plain as day. Even if you think he lost some of his recent fights, they were against top 5 competition and could've gone either way. It was razor thin in some cases. This is a good argument to have Taylor top 5.

                I don't know what lb4lb is based on anymore.

                Back in the day it was ability and performance, like when Tyson was lb4lb #1 in the 80's, when Jones Jr was a lb4lber in '92 and when Toney shot up to #2 lb4lb (from nowhere) after the Barkley fight.

                  Where do I have Taylor on my P4P? hmmmmmm.. Well after almost no thought at all... (none needed) I declare he is NOWHERE on my list.. I think is an overhyped peice of crap.. who has balls to take on the best.. but CAN'T beat them and yet somehow gets the NOD anyways.. I want to like taylor.. and I should.. BUT I am sure he knows deep down that he is a PRODUCT of HBO... and he should be ashamed of himself..

                    not even in the top twenty, he is the valuev of the lower weight divisions.

                      That's the only reason I have them on par - because Winky is fighting real soon.. if Winky wasn't fighting until next year I'd have to make my mind up and choose which one I think deserves the #2 spot.. and that's a real tough thing to do seeing as Pac blew out an on the slide Morales, but the way he did it was brilliant.. but on the other hand Winky stood toe to toe with a huge middleweight in Taylor, who beat the P4P #1 fighter in Bernard Hopkins twice, and put on a good performance, and even though he got the draw he's proved once again that he can hang with the middleweights by beating the #1 in many peoples eyes.

                      So yeah, in a nutshell, I'd have a real hard job choosing between the two.
