Those fighters OUT of the top 10 from last time:
Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor


i have no problem with the rankings, but i thought some would like to discuss.

Zab Judah should be ranked atleast #4

WTF Hatton is ranked lower than MAB, beating Tszyu once is accomplishing more compared to beating Morales 3xs in a row!

Zahir should atleast be #10,

Take that p*ssy JMM outta there(doesn't make any sense).

JLC should be ranked higher than Morales and MAB.

Here's how it should be....

They need to come out w/ a P4P ranking for bl@ck athetes only
and the rest should be lumped together

P4P @frican-@merican fighters

1. "Ugly Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr.

2. Ronald "Winky" Wright

3. "Super" Zab Judah

4. Zahir "The Dream" Raheem

* Jermain Taylor doesn't deserve to be in the top 10, he lost both
fights to Hops PERIOD! The shakers and movers in boxing don't
like Hops.


Everybody else...

1. Ricky Hatton

2. JLC

3. Erika "El ***o" Morales

4. Manny Pacquiao

5. Marco Antonio Barrera

* I've never seen Rafael Marquez fight

Why is Jermain not in their, he has beaten hopkins twice in a row after no one touched hopkins for a decade.

Shouldn't castillo be higher than 9?

[Briman15]

Absolutely not, maybe he should try making weight before his next victory rather than making a mockery of the rules of boxing by not adhering to agreed upon weight limits.

[nez998]

jermain taylor is a sloppy fighter

[Briman15]

Lets compare Taylor and Judah. Taylor beat a legend twice. Judah beat Cory Spinks once and damn near not another relevant opponent.

Forget Taylor and Judah. Castillo shouldn't even be in p4p list. he cheated.

What does James Toney have to do to get on the list? Winning titles in 3 different weight div and going un defeated for 8 years doesn't get on this list. Don't know why they always try to leave the HW's out. Bryd should also be on there.

i am pleased to see that taylor is not on the list. he is the one of the sloppiest fighters around.

How can you cal JT sloppy, he only looked that way against BHOP, but thats the only way to beat him. Where the hell is Tarver?

Good point, I myself have forgotten the two. As far as "Lights Out" is concerned...
Well who has he fought at HW? He fought Ruiz and got caught for 'roids. I agree w/ everybody else Toney fighting Ruiz 50 times, JT will probably come out winning all 50 of 'em, then again he got caught w/ a banned substance.

As far as Byrd... The last time I saw him fight he was getting knocked around by one of the Klitschko's so don't know what's really up w/ him these days.
