Yes, by virtue of the fact that that we haven't seen much from Rigondeaux yet and anyone can look great against lesser competition. He may be as skilled or more, but it would be foolish to put him above Ward at the current moment. Ward had proven himself. Also, Rigo does make defensive mistakes that may catch up with him when he faces guys skilled enough to exploit them.
Predict what the top three p4p spots will look like in 3 years

Even ward's position is not guaranteed. He could very well lose to Dawson in his next fight and have Dawson take his spot instead. Rigondeaux is already 31 and he'll have to lure Donaire into the ring and beat him. He'll also be contending with Russell Jr since around the same weight class.
Bradley will be a top guy around the 140-147 division with Pac & Mayweather retiring.
Chavez Jr actually have a chance if he beats Martinez, then the winner of Pirog & GGG. Throw a beating of Pavlik and Sturm in there and you have a top 3-5 P4P spot.
So the top spots, in no particular order.
- Ward/Dawson
- Donaire/Rigondeaux/Russell Jr.
- Chavez Jr/Tim BradleyComment

I agree with ward and all 3 of your second row, but Chavez Jr in the top 3 p4p?....only if Josie Sulaman is in charge of the list. Lol. He would do good to stay faaaar away from Pirog I thinkEven ward's position is not guaranteed. He could very well lose to Dawson in his next fight and have Dawson take his spot instead.
