    This is why fighters barely take risks anymore.

    These are the Boxing Scene Pound for Pound ratings.

    1) Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KO’S)
    2) Floyd Mayweather (40-0, 25 KO)
    3) Bernard Hopkins (49-5-1, 32 KO)
    ...
    8) Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KO)

    Even when they take fights they are outweighed by 20 pounds and are expected to get KOed they get treated like ****. I mean from 2 to 8? How the hell is that even possible fighting a man no one gives you a chance against in a weight class you have no business in.

    It really is crazy. The list as a whole is a little outta whack.

    Marquez deserves more respect than that.

          yeah that's a joke, JMM has no buisness fighting anyone at 147. He shouldn't be penalized for taking a huge risk

                I feel like they're purposely just trying to be different and stand out with their P4P list.

                Dawson at 6? Joke
                Marquez dropping to 8? A travesty

                I don't have a huge problem with Williams at 5 as I think he's that good, I just don't think his accomplishments warrant that yet. If he beats Pavlik impressively, than hell yea, but not yet.

                  That was whack. JMM deserved better than what he got.

                  No way Williams, Cotto, and Dawson are higher than JMM.

                    Dawson has no business above 8. Williams has no business in the top 5. Ans JMM Should be no lower than 3.
