I got him at 9 maybe 10. He lost 1 fight where he looked like he was in total control until stamina and uppercuts got to him. Cotto is still respected in my book.
Pound for pound is such a **** list right now. Sorry, but when guys like Margarito and Pavlik are among the 10 best fighters in the world, that is a sorry state of boxing.
I wouldnt rank cotto in the top 10... I dont think anyone on the top 10 ever quit in a fight. I wouldnt put a quitter on my top 10 "P4P" list. Ill have him ranked 11 tho.

Yes he quit but it was for his own safety. His entertaining style doesn't make him our slave...so we have no right to judge a fighter who took that MUCH damage and wasn't gonna take any more of it.
I still rank him better then Margarito, but I'm biased because I don't like Margarito fighting at WelterWeight
What the ****?
Anyway
#1. M. Pacquiao: Not much of a need to explain myself here. Beat Barrera (x2), Morales (x2), Marquez, Diaz, Solis, 3k Battery, Julio, Larios, Valasquez, Lucero, Ledwaba, Hussein. Draws with Sanchez and Marquez aswell as Pacquiao loss also noteworthy. 5 weight classes with 5 titles.
#2. J.M. Marquez: Both of his fights with Pacquiao were either way. Beat Barrera, Juarez, Casamayor, Jaca, Gainer and a large slew of very good fighters. Never knocked out. Is 0-1-1 with Pacquiao and clearly Pac's rival. Three world titles in 3 divisions.
#3. Joe Calzaghe: No need to explain here. Barely beat Hopkins but dominated Lacy, Kessler, Eubank and Manfredo. Edged out tough fights with Bika and Reid. Two weight divisions, 6 titles.

#10. Calderon
I can respect your list . Pavlik is NOT overated and is rated the way he should be but he is put a bit too high on peoples P4P list. Calderon mos def deserve a spot in the Top 10 P4P
