    Tarver/ Mayweather should not be in the p4p ranking.....

    Agree with me or not; I truly believe Antonio tarver should not be in the top 10 p4p boxing list. Though he did ko jones, i just think he hasn't proved his self enough to be qualified for that list. Jones losing about 30 lbs. would make any fighter worse than what the once were. Mayweather should be taken off the list as well. He's not fighting any of the great 140 lb. fighters that's out. So, he's finally going to fight Gatti (if gatti beats leija), but before this fight, he's been looking average. Castillio gave him a run for his money. He fought Corrales, but I think Corrales would hand his ass to him in a rematch. This is just my opinion.

      I agree with you that Tarver is not a P4P yet...It's like saying that Johnson should be a P4P cuz he KO jones too. About Floyd he should be at the P4P list, but going down...I still believe that he doesn't belong in the 140 division...And Bruseles might show him that.

        As much as I dislike Antonio Tarver, and as big as a Roy Jones Jr. fan I was, I gotta hand it to him...he deserves to be in the top for dethroning the p4p king, however, where G. Leon gets off by putting him at #3 is beyond me.. I think he should be 6 or 5 at best.

        As far as Mayweather goes, I think he should remain #2. However, I don't like that fact that he wants Gatti so bad that he isn't fighting any of the talent in 140 division, I'm a Mayweather fan regardless of his decision, but after the Gatti fight, I expect for him to up the level of competition, he has no excuse (unlike Roy did in the Light Heavy division, as it was so weak)..

        As far as Corrales rematch goes, get real, guy..
        As much as Chico says he wants a rematch, he doesn't want none..

        As far as the Castillo fight goes, it wouldn't be such a big deal to Mayweather haters had he beat him by the margin he usually beats his opponents by. Mayweather clearly won those fights, he just got hit more than he did in any other fight, just like Jones/Tarver I

          Anymore it's kinda hard to have a real legit top five fighters in the world. But Mayweather has to be on the list just because of his raw talent. He's only had one fight at 140 and at lower classes he's ether beaten everyone to a pulp or has had them not want to fight him because it would be a sure loss.

          As for Tarver there's a little more of a case, but he's always been very talented guy, just little talked about untill he kayoed Roy.

            How do you rank Cotto and Tito?

            As far as your comment about Johnson, I disagree, because Tarver stopped Roy at the peak of his career (his peak, not prime)..

              Cotto is not even closed to be in the Top 10 list yet...Tito should be already in the Top 10 and going up...

                I couldn't have said it better myself.Two years ago Mayweather was definetly on the top10 p4p list.After barely getting by Castillo without a loss,he's slacked off bigtime.IMO,a Top10 p4p fighter should stay active and should atleast beat another top10 fighter in their weight division.Mayweather has done neither


                I think Tarver belongs in the top10 p4p,but after Saturday Night Glencoffe Johnson will be knock him off that list and replace him.

                  Alright, let's see your top 10 pound for pound list, and who you have on it..

                  I don't think Tito Trinidad should be in the top 10. All he beat was Mayorga, was Mayorga even a top 10 p4p when he beat him, and more importantly was he even a Middleweight?

                    i also dont think tito should be in the top 10...only one thing will get him in..and thats beating hopkins (no matter if he has only lost one fight) which dont think he can do

                    i dont think tarver should be considered a p4p just for one big fight

                    floyd deserves it tho in my opioion even though he wont be for long
