    I think Abraham belongs in the top ten more than Bernard "one punch then hold" Hopkins.

      No clue. He is good but I hate all this P4P talk. Why do we always have to rank fighters from different weightclasses against each other to the absolute Nth degree and compete to see who's boy is best? I can understand a top 5, even a top 10 but below that you could mix and match however you like, its all opinion anyway.

        I'm not sure I'd agree with that. One more solid victory and I'm on board though.

          thats the key here, its all opinion ... no one can be 100% right or wrong about the P4P rankings as its very subjective ...IMO Abraham is good but not top 10 for what its worth

              I like this train of thought. I can't really tell yet either. I'd put him at like 15 at this point.

                I was very impressed with him in his last fight so i say 4th. Hmmm I think: Paquiao, Cotto, Arthur right now. Because he had a perfect gameplan and executed very well. But i dunno, Marquez is pretty good too, but i like more complete fighters and Arthur seems to be pretty complete.
                On a side note boxing is getting poorer and poorer and you don't have to look back along time ago to realize maybe 10 years ago neither of the fighters at the top 10 in every class above welterweight would even be top 20. But those times are gone and the best we have are these. To give you an idea, Mora (contender show) can be at the top 10 in his weight, Gomez (contender show) can fight nš 1 welterweight in Cotto.

                  eah, for miranda is not a good measuring stick. he is very powerful, but against the elite he has failed miserably. i am a huge kelly fan, but till he beat taylor i was not sure just how good he was. if ab's beats kelly he will get my props.

                    Someone besides a guy that never won a title in his life would help. Top 20 is insane at this point.
