    1. Floyd based on ring intelligence, match making, defense, hand speed and durability.
    2. Martinez has taken on the toughercompetition of late and has fought and beaten the guy no one at the time wanted to fight P williams. Speed, Stamina, Lefty and gets better every fight. If he wants a big payday he shouldve called Margarito out instead of Pac Cotto and Mayweather. Avenge that loss and retire that cheater.
    3. Ward has all of Floyds credentials just needs a little more seasoning. Very intelligent fighter, arrogant about his skillsand believe in defense and adapts very well just like his IDOL. Future P4P #1 IMHO.
    4. PAC has the least skills out of all these guys but his workrate ability to take a shot and angles puts him ahead of Donaire IMO. Pac gets flustered by guys whom either dont come straight at him or can move to counter his angles. Hes to easy to hit and when he faces a counter puncher with speed and timing he often finds himself taking to many clean shots. Puts on a great show but should get more criticism for his ducking and subpar opponents just like Floyd does. Prime example is Soto, Juan Diaz, Paul Williams, Mosley after Margarito win, Foreman, Marquez up to 144 when both are naturully lighter weight guys. His weight draining tactics have diminished his wins IMHO but everyone wants an advantage in some way or another.
    5. Donaire maybe in the future he will fight guys his own size and skill level and then possibly he can earn all of this credit that has been thrown his way. OVER-RATED to the max. This guy shot to the top of the pound for pound rankings but if you look at his resume over the last three years and compare it to someone like Bradley there is no comparison. The inactivity has been about the same for the two for the same promotional and contratual reason but Bradley looks more duckish because he didnt accept the Khan challenge. Donaire nothing special yet. He has some good KO's but against guys whom were smaller and were connecting withnthere own shots but because of the size difference didnt finish the job. What happenes when he faces someone of the same statue and speed with power. I think we will see Donaire with little defense get sparked out quickly. Just what I believe but this guys shouldnt e ahead of Hopkins are Marquez on the P4P list let alone Bradley.

      he fought more) 4. Manny Pacquiao (as great as he is he's very over rated imo, his recent fights have been a joke) 5. Andre Ward (has the best pure boxing skills on this list outside of Floyd and Nonito) If B-Hop beats Dawson I would put him at # 2 but he is past his prime. What are your rankings.
      Solid list... I'd switch one or two but it's not hard to agree with that.
