I never saw that one... Witter was underprepared, wasn't he? A rematch would be nice... took years for Witter to throw off the stigma.
I wasn't saying he should be NOW, incidentally... I mean he's a potential future top ten p4p. Give him a half dozen matches with top competition in his weight...
I agree with you lot... Hopkins is only P4P best fighter in the World "inside America"... LOL!..
Eastman came to fight... And Hopkins ran for 12 rounds!... He's surposed to be a prize fighter, that sort of behaviour isn't P4P in my opinion. - Morales vs Barrera III - Morales vs Pacquiao ... Morales, NOW THERE'S A P4P PRIZE FIGHTER THAT COMES TO FIGHT!!!!

There is not reason to believe he should NOT be a potential future top 10 P4P fighter. He has the toolbox. That is for sure. He just needs bigger fights and more exposure.
It was Witter's 16th or 17th pro fight I think. He was simply outgunned by Zab's lateral movement and handspeed.
1. BERNARD HOPKINS- Great
2. FLOYD MAYWEATHER- Good
3. KOSTYA TSZYU- Sure...
4. WINKY WRIGHT- Whatever....
5. MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA- Kool
6. ERIK MORALES- Kool
7. MANNY PACQUIAO- No
8. JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ- No
9. JOSE LUIS CASTILLO- Hell No
10. GLEN JOHNSON- Hell No
Reason I never bought the Ring magazine, and never will.
Johnson, Corrales, JMM(as much as I like him). HELL NO. Pacman....hell fugging no. The 10 spot is occupied by Mosley for "certain P4P criteria". Not recent fights. I think he can beat a majority of the fighters on that list.
Maybe Calzaghe should get a mention, he's been in with fighters on the same level as Hopkins opponents(not counting blown up DLH) recently and is a lot more exciting than Nard. IMO he'd beat Hopkins too.
I'll bet 50 millions points with someone if that fight ever happens.
Hopkins - great but really wasn't impressed with his performance against Eastman. I still rank him #1 on my list
Tszyu - should be ranked over Mayweather
Winky - hasn't impressed me, i think he just has Mosley's number.
Marquez- i dont think he should be on the list
I am not all to high on Marquez right now (at least not THAT Marquez brother) the way I see it he has not really won a big fight in over a year, and his big claim to fame is a draw that would have been a loss if not for a scoring error... Maybe Zab in his place or even (gasp) Chico!
I agree 100% - In addition how can Barrera be above Pac?
And why isnt Morales higher - I think it gets real difficult when fighters lose to another fighter, but are clearly the better fighter(in the big scheme of things). Thats why MAB/Morales/Pac/JMM are difficult to rank in a particular order - IMO Erik is the best of the four - but we know what the score was with the MAB trilogy so......
Also having seen the EM/Pac fight last night (uk) Manny did seem very one dimentional, and seemed like a small version of Matt Skelton!(In respect of losing his balance all the time, obviosuly Manny is a FAR better p4p fighter).
