Yahoo! Introduces It's Top 10 P4P

[Del Coqui]

i think castillo earned respect and was considered p4p when he beat floyd. people knew he would become one of mexico's great fighters. but against corrales he had a fight that will be talked about for many generations because it is the greatest fight in boxing history.

In Boxing history,Huh? Didnt you just make an "overrated" thread?

You are misunderstanding the point. If you look at the individual contributors who ranked the fighters, THEY ARE among the most influential writers in the game.

And Kevin Iole is very credible. He wrote for Ring Mag for years. Further, please remember that Yahoo News is read by alot of people. That is one of the outlets where the masses get their sports news online.

God himself could say Floyd is P4P #1 and these idiots would still disagree...

I think the top 10 represents the sport very well by putting more marketable fighters in its p4p list.
I like where there going with that.

Am I the only one who actually doesnt think that its a bad list at all? I mean, I dont necessarily agree with it but I dont think its bad by any stretch. Infact, I wouldnt mind someone arguing that its dead on. I wouldnt have Calzaghe that high because of his weak resume but if your going strictly by talent then I could see him being rated very high. I actually think its a pretty good list. Some good guys like Hatton arent on there but I go back to the Calzaghe thing. Hatton has had some good wins but is he really more talented then anyone on that list? Would he beat any of those guys if they were near the same size? I doubt it

WTF is Joe Calzaghe doing in the list?? Thats disrespect to alot of boxers. Even up and coming boxer have done more then that peace of ****. Joe Calzaghe can **** the U.K all he wants BUT he'll never step foot in the country that proves who the best is. Back to topic!! I agree with the first two. Bernard Hopkins should be 3rd. Winky Wright 4th. JMM 5th. Cotto 6th and the rest can go either way.

Well, I never got to comment on this and I'm not happy.

P4P shouldn't be based on what happened in your last fight so much.

I don't thinking losing a close battle or descision should blast you out if it's against another P4P elite fighter.

In this case here Yahoo has it all ****ed up..

But I'll change it instead of complaining.

1) Floyd Mayweather
2) Manny Pacquiao
3) Bernard Hopkins
4) Israel Vasquez
5) Juan Manuel Marquez
6) Winky Wright
7) Rafael Marquez
8) Jermain Taylor
9) Ricky Hatton
10) Joe Calzaghe
