      damn

      Why Diego Corrales is not on that list, I will NEVER know.
      Yall need to pay attention. I already said that the list was just off the top of my head. I wasn't putting absolutely every single name I thought was as good or better p4p than Johnson and Tarver, just some. Corrales would be on that list as well. Duh.

      As for you having DLH number 2 p4p, whoever it was that said that...you're joking right? DLH is my favorite fighter out there aside from Roy who is semi-retired, but I wouldn't put him in the top 5. Judah beat Spinks who beat Mayorga and he KO'd Spinks, something Mayorga could not do. Judah also did this coming up from 140 to fight a guy who was bigger tham him.

      Pac stopped one of the greatest fighters in recent memory in Barrera and he would have had the win over Marquez if not for an admitted scoring error made by a judge in that fight.

      I feel they deserve to be where I put them. If you are going to attack my argument, do it with something better than having DLH in the top 3.

        You put Judah in because he moved up one weight division and beat spinks at the second time of asking.
        compare that to DLH who has won world titles at Super Featherweight, Lightweight, Light Welterweight, Welterweight, Light Middleweight and Middleweight.

        That's why DLH is top 3 p4p.

          lol

          If you are talking last 10 years p4p maybe, but we are talking currently. Dlh hasn't done enough in recent years to be top 3 p4p, ask anyone here, man. Hardly anyone will agree with you unless they are blinded by DLH's "charm". lol

          DLH beat Mosley in the rematch in my opinion, by a wide margin, however he hasn't been very active, certainly not qas much as Judah, and that win vs Mosley was a LONG time ago. Since then he drew or lost to Sturm in most people's eyes and he lost to Hopkins. Whether you give him credit for fighting bigger guys or not (which I do) you can't move him to top 3 p4p just based on him losing to bigger guys.

          Dlh does not belong in the top 3.

            I must agree that Oscar doesn`t belong in the top 3, top 12 at a push though. I don`t think Zab Judah is that special just cos he beat Cory Spinks, he is too chinny as Tsyzu proved. Eric Morales was beat by Barrera so don`t rank Morales above Barrera! Why not rank Klitscko in the top five!

              He should definitley be in the top 10 pound not only did he beat the great Roy Jones but he the guy who dethroned the king in Tarver. What year he had.

                I think P4P is bull**** most of the time, its someone's opinion and most of the time its bias to their nationality.

                If Tarver got a P4P place for beating Jones then Johnson should definitley get one for whipping them both.

                Johnson's always going to be a limited fighter but he's roughed it out and should be on the list. I just dont expect him to stay there long.

                  Glen Johnson beat a shot Roy Jones, Jr. and he also beat a guy who KO'ed a shot RJJ, so that doesn't prove much as far as I'm concerned. He needs to prove his legitimacy even further to deserve a P4P ranking.

                    Yeah,when Glen beats Hopkins later this year,I guess Hopkins being shot will be the reason for it.And yet another bias reason for Johnson haters to keep him out of there p4p list,LMAO!

                      Tarver lost only cause boxing fans let their hate get the best of them, and beating a Roy Jones in a coma shouldnt put you on a much respected Pound for Pound list. I think he should give Tarver a rematch.
