That's an alright list. To say it's the worst you've ever seen is either outrageous hyperbole or simple ignorance. The tie for first is interesting...I guess that means that if Pac and Mayweather were the same size they'd fight...to a draw? I see Mayweather winning that one, but who knows. Pavlik should probably be up there, but he arguably isn't as skilled as either of the Marquez brothers (then again, he hasn't lost yet). Guys like Wlad and Kessler probably have a good case for inclusion, at least in the top 20.
you cant have a tie for the best p4p in the sport...
floyd is still number 1
and pacquiao is still a close second place p4p fighter...
calzaghe follows 3rd
Cristian Mijares and Ivan Calderon do NOT belong in those spots...
the list better be for entertainment purposes only because its not very accurate...its better than the other one that mr. soprano brought to our attention...but its still pretty far off...
Heres my list for anyone who cares:
1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3. Joe Calzaghe
4. Juan Manuel Marquez
5. Miguel Cotto
6. Bernard Hopkins
7. Kelly Pavlik
8. Israel Vazquez
9. Shane Mosley
10. Rafael Marquez

Sorry man, I thought that was funny. Everyone (including my self) is complaining about Pac being up there with Mayweather, and you have him number one on your list. but when its all said and done, I'd rather see Pac fight Mayweather than Cotto.
guys let's all get this straight yes, mayweather is a much skilled fighter, much smarter, greater defense and undefeated but when it comes to fights being undefeated dont matter. u can be undefeated when u are not fighting caliber fighters and that is why pacquiao must be number 1. pacquiao is all about war. fighting the top fighters in his division and doing a great job on defeating them. can u guys name a mayweather fight more exciting than pacquiao's? then that is why pacquiao must be on #1. it's not all about skills, it's who u fight and how u beat them.

Yeah Gatti is ATG P4P top ten by that logic, he fought everyone and was exciting...does that make him p4p material??????
NO!
P4P has nothing to do with resume, or how exciting you are. the only aconplishment i take notice of when considering a list is how much they have moved up.
If Pac and Floyd could fight at a weight fair to both men, Floyd would win...easy!
I don't see why they can't be tied. Their accomplishments are equal. One fights better opp (Manny) while the other is undefeated and more rounded. There's not a lot to choose between them.
Also, I noted early that neither Marquez deserved to drop from where they were in December. Cotto is very good and could easily be flipped with Rafa losing a fight like Vasquez III doesn't make him less as a fighter.
