    p4p rankings become more subjective and less objective the further you move away from #1. most lists would consistently have similar top 3 spots. after that it's chaos.

      maybe not anymore but there was a few years when he should have been top 10.

      he gave lennox a tough fight and he beat the guy who ktfo wlad silly.

        The ring loathes to move people down without them actually losing, Nonito is not the only person that has benefitted from that policy though (Hopkins, Winky, Mosley all come to mind)

            That guy ****** . And if giving a tough fight meant much, Andrew Golota would be king of the world. I hear you though. While I wouldn't place Vitali within sniffing distance of the P4P list, Wlad could be as high as #3. Donaire is nowhere to be found on my list.

                Because he's a very highly skilled guy, The only thing is he hasnt fought enough good fighters at his or around his weight. I really like this guys boxing IQ just which Top rank can do something with this guy to make him a big star that he deserve to be.

                    IDK why he is rated that high or on the list at all, he has 1 notable win over a pretty 1D fighter with good power in his 25 fight career and the rest of his opponents have been tuneups for....... ???

                    That does not say P4P to me.
