    Any P4P list that has Moreno in the top 10 is a good list for me.

    Hopefully Roman Gonzalez can step it up a little bit. Maybe with that rumor HBO BAD Card opener against Viloria and he can join Chemito on the list.

      Bradley should be on there before Hopkins. Other than that, no complaints, the top 2 will always be a pissing match between fans.

        Mayweather
        Marquez
        Ward
        Martinez
        Pacquiao
        Donaire

        Mayweather number 1, don't think I need to explain that.

        Marquez number 2. Don't care how the judges had it, Marquez's win over Pacquiao is a much greater accomplishment than any of the other fighters on that list, so I have to put him there. Marquez is a certified 2.

        Ward is definitely higher than Martinez, not by much but definitely higher. Beating Froch, Kessler, Bika; winning the Super 6 is slightly better than beating Paul Williams, Cintron, Pavlik, Dzinziruk.

        Martinez over Pacquiao because he's fought the better opposition as of late, Pacquiao opting for Marquez was a failed attempt at a cherry pick, I'm not gonna ignore that. Though we didn't ask Martinez to face Barker, I still remember what the consensus was for Pavlik, Paul Williams, Dzinziruk, so major credit to Sergio.

        Pacquiao at number 4, he still has solid wins against very good to good fighters, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey. Just has to step up and perform too. He hasn't been performing well.

        Donaire number 5, after his win over Montiel he was off for a bit, had promotional issues, fought Narvaez and is in line to fight WV2, not the opposition I expected him to face.

        That's pretty much my Top 5.

        Now why Pacquiao is number 1, I know it's all opinionated but that I can't respect at all. It's like cherry picking an old Mosley, looking shitty against him and then losing to a LW gets rewarded on here

          That list is almost identical to mine, except for #1 and #10.

          Great to see my boys Ward and Chemito getting some love.

            Cliff Rold is a known Klitschko hater. He always tries to bash and discredit the Klitschkos. In the Wlad-Haye pre-fight report card Cliff said "Haye will KO Wlad in 3 rounds". Now he tries to discredit Wlad's dominant shutout win over Haye.

            Wlad is #5 on the Ring Magazine P4P list.

            Vitali should be right next to Wlad on every P4P list.
            If Chemito was naturally 6'6"-250 lbs, he would beat them both embarrassingly.

            I guess that makes me a Klitschko hater, does it ?

            Find out what P4P actually means.

            Actually, stop obsessing about it, P4P is completely irrelevant.

            Divisional supremacy is what counts, and the K's are rock-stars in that field.

              Ward should be above Marquez who fell short of his fight with Pacquiao. Viloria should be ahead of Segura whom he stopped for the next 5 rankings..

                Pacquiao is still #1 P4P in most of boxing ratings.

                  I totally agree. That's why Wlad has been #1 here for three years running:

                  By Cliff Rold - Who is the best professional boxer in the world? The question fascinates many and has for years, allowing for comparisons of accomplishment and skill across the weight scale. It’s a question asked too often the wrong way. No matter how much mythical mumbo jumbo goes into the silliness of “pound-for-pound,” if Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fought tomorrow, the only question being literally settled, beyond doubt, would be who is the best Welterweight in the world in 2011. In other words, who is the real champion at 147 lbs…and the winner would have a strong championship claim indeed, the division all but wiped out at that point between the two of them. Real boxing doesn’t happen in a virtual cell of the imagination where Jimmy Wilde and Jack Dempsey can be magically matched at equal sizes. Real boxing happens in the ring, in weight divisions (or the occasional catchweight) and in those divisions there is no shortage of men calling themselves champions. Really. No shortage at all. With interim belts and ‘super’ champs to be found dotted all over the scale, picking out those fighters who truly represent championship excellence isn’t always easy. It’s worth it anyways. Once a year, it’s more than fair to put the pretend of pound-for-pound aside and ask about the reality of championship excellence.


                  My hatred blinds me so much. If only I was a race baiting ass clown, then I'd see the light.

                    Ward deserves to be in the top 5. Just because his style may not excite everyone doesn't mean that he is not skilled. In the Froch fight I thought he was entertaining, he stood his ground and stayed active for 12 rounds. Just because he didn't KO Froch doesn't make him featherfisted either. He is no KO artist but he does have some pop.

                      1.) Mayweather
                      2.) Marquez
                      3.) Ward
                      4.) Donaire
                      5.) Martinez
                      6.) Hopkins
                      7.) Pacquiao
                      8.) Bradley
                      9.) Moreno
                      10.) Mares

                      If Bradley, Moreno, and Mares, beat top opponents next up they knock Pacquiao off the list..... which is unlikely..... Mares has a mando, Donaire has moved up and there doesnt appear to be anyone available at bantam for Moreno other than Morel, and who knows whats up with Bradley.

                      The guys above Pac ALL fight the best opposition, whereas Manny does not.
