    Speaking of Dawson. Where is he in the ring rankings? Caballero is 9 in the ring, Dawson has 4 defenses and has unified titles AND has a win over the Ring cruiserweight champ. Caballero has 7 defenses and a unification over the overrated Molitor. Ring rankings are crazy.
    Like I said, I put him at #10, which isn't really set in stone. I've ranked him there because he is skilled and probably would have achieved something by now if other fighters would stop avoiding him! See what happens when he fights Winky though. If he wins it should open some doors...

        i think ricky hatton is top 10 pound for pound but if he beats pacquaio then he should be in the top 2 or 3 maybe in the world

          Its unbelievable that Hatton gets slaughtered for a bad performance against Lazcano.It was his first fight back from coming off a high profile knockout loss,also he had a lot of problems in his camp with his trainer etc.He then comes back with a solid win,a win he made look easy against the No.2 in his division in a much improved performance after only a short time with his new trainer.Hatton has repeatedly achieved,never ducked anyone and managed to persevere and pull out wins even when he was not at his best.His one loss was against Mayweather,who is one of the best fighters of all time.So yes he is a top ten pound for pound fighter,an elite fighter and the best in his division.Fighters like Williams and Lopez are good fighters,and I dont doubt that they will make their moves this year,but until they actually achieve something,fight regularly against the right sort of opponents then you cant put them in.There seems to be some kind of agenda on here that states that british fighters are not worthy of being considered in P4P without it being begrudgingly so.Calzaghe is a great case in point.He was at 2-3 in the P4P lists,yet still people were queuing up to say how **** he was!Its f.ucking lunacy!

            Ricky Hatton is the man. He should have never left the P4P rankings. If he finishes his career with just the one loss to PBF, he should be considered for ATG status. As for Calzaghe, you know my feeling on him. Great fighter, not as good as some say, not as bad as others. But in my book the guy is a douche.

              He's got better movement than Hatton, a much better jab, plus he's actually got head movement.
              But dont you get it ?? being on that P4P list is about what youve done rather than what people think you can do !

                if ricky were to beat manny, would the ring magazine put him as no.1 p4p? because isnt that how they do it, if you beat the champion you become the champion?

                  Who knows? general consensus puts JMM at No.2.If Hatton beats Pacquiao convincinglyy ie. by stoppage I can see no reason why he shouldnt be,considering that JMM hasnt quite done that...other than the fact he is English
