Ring P4P Update!!!....Floyd #2....

[Russian Crushin]

P

ound for pound: Mayweather enters at No. 2, pushing everyone previously at No. 2 and below down one notch and knocking Bernard Hopkins out of the Top 10. A victory over Chad Dawson on Oct. 15 could him put him right back in.

Junior middleweight: Saul Alvarez remains at No. 3 after his sixth-round knockout of game but smallish Alfonso Gomez on Saturday night.

Welterweight: Mayweather also enters at No. 2 here, pushing everyone down one place and No. 10 Selcuk Aydin out of the ratings.

Junior welterweight: No. 7 Erik Morales made history by becoming the first Mexican to win major titles in a fourth weight division but opponent Pablo Cesar Cano wasn’t rated going into the fight. No. 6 Lamont Peterson is coming off a nice victory over Victor Cayo. Thus, Morales remains where he is.

Featherweight: No. 8 Jhonny Gonzalez stopped Rogers Mtagwa in two rounds, his 10th consecutive knockout. However, he stays put because Mtagwa was not rated and has now lost three of his past four fights (albeit to Juan Manuel Lopez, Yuriorkis Gamboa and now Gonzalez).

He also came in at #2 WW

It's sad they're removing Hopkins from the p4p list. He has a much better case than Bradley and Ward IMO.

???

The list should be:

Ward
Pac
Mayweather
Donaire
Martinez
Marquez
No one else matters

[RoughTactics]

So Pac is number 1 at welter?

[ThePrince]

bull****, that's just disrespectful to guys who, you know, fight. How does that nonsense against Ortiz warrant putting him over Donaire? Hell, Hopkins and the Klits have more of a case.

Hopkins is going to lose to Dawson.

Klits are heavyweights. They aren't in the p4p discussion.



On topic: Not surprised. whatever. Floyd isn't #1 that's all i know.

Reason for the Ring's Choice:

We don’t approve of Pacquiao’s last three opponents, Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito and Shane Mosley, each of whom probably was less qualified to face the Filipino icon than Ortiz was to face Mayweather. However, Pacquiao has obliterated seven big-name opponents in the time Mayweather has done the same to three.

Thus, there is no reason Mayweather should leap frog Pacquiao to the top. So it’s Pacquiao No. 1 and Mayweather No. 2 in the pound-for-pound ratings.

Now on to the trickier question: What do we do about the welterweight division?

Pacquiao and Mayweather have each had three welterweight fights over the past two years. Pacquiao has faced Miguel Cotto, Clottey and Mosley. Mayweather fought Juan Manuel Marquez, Mosley and Ortiz.

Who faced stiffer competition? Cotto, Clottey and Mosley were rated Nos. 3, 5 and 3 by THE RING at the time they fought Pacquiao. Marquez, a beefed-lightweight, wasn’t rated at 147 pounds while a slightly better version of Mosley than Pacquiao faced and Ortiz were both rated No. 2 when they met Mayweather.

makes sense no complaints except for the drop of hop.

Well when you add a guy, the last guy has got to go. He's still #11, no big deal
