If Winky Wright's only loss (recently) was a close decision to a highly rated p4p guy well above Winky's best weights, how did WW fall so far off the list?
That troubles me.
The problem is that loss wasn't recently. It was over a year ago. When was the last time Winky won a major fight?
1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Juan Manuel Marquez
3. Joe Calzaghe
4. Bernard Hopkins
5. Israel Vazquez
6. Miguel Cotto
7. Cristian Mijares
8. Rafael Marquez
9. Joan Guzman
10. Ivan Calderon
He fell to 8 or 9 almost immediately after Hopkins though...
The bottom line is that Winky's last major win was Trinidad over 3 years ago. The draw with Taylor isn't quite as impressive right now. If he were to return and beat someone like Sturm, Abraham, Froch, etc. he'd be right back in there.

I can understand it now, but the fact is, it didn't happen just now. That is kind of troubling. When Wright lost a decision to Hopkins above his natural weight, Taylor was still undefeated...

JMM #3?? I dont think so...Calslappy # 2? HELL NO! Take B Hop off there...Move pavlik,cotto,and vazquez up.
Why is Rafael Marquez on the list? He has lost two straight. I would also put Cotto above Vasquez simply becuase Cotto is unbeaten and Vasquez lost last year.
I disagree. The two fights Raf lost were razor thin to another p4p fighter. I think he is still worthy of being ranked. As far as Vazquez goes, he beat a better fighter in Raf, twice, than Cotto did winning against Shane, Judah and Gomez. Jmo.

In the time frame that you are speaking of I can see your point.
