The Blow now top five P4P as per The Ring...

[ßringer]

It matters, and it's in line with conventional thinking, so it's a good list. Mine is a little more controversial though:

1. Mannie Pacquiao
2. Joe Calzaghe
3. Ricky Hatton
4. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (picking Hatton to win..so I can't be hypocritical)
5. Juan Manuel Marquez
6. Kelly Pavlik
7. Miguel Cotto
8. Ivan Calderon
9. Israel Vasquez
10. Mikkel Kessler

Your list is a solid unconventional list. The only thing is I'd put Mayweather above Hatton, but if Hatton wins then your list is only stronger. Good to see someone else rating Pavlik highly, dude had a tremendous year and I think he's about ready to crack the p4p list and he will when he beats Taylor again.

Hopkins used to be #1 in my personal top ten p4p. But, that was many years ago when Jones was ruling and when Jones would never even consider risking his superstar status on Hopkins.

Now, unfortunately, Hopkins does not belong in top ten. He's lost his offense.

I agree, Hopkins has lost 2 of his last 4 and he is a LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT now, surely diminishing his p4p status.

Except when you dominate the man at Lightheavy (not to mention he was the 3-1 underdog) and then manage to beat another pound for pound fighter definietly diminshes your status.

Especially when your two losses were close disputed decisions.

Yep, Popkins sucks for sure

I have no idea how any sane person can rate Pacquaio ahead of Calzaghe but I guess it doesn't really matter because Calzaghe will be know as a boxing God irrespective of what any magazine says.
