    and bradley clearly beat marquez who was coming off one of the biggest KO victories in boxing history......and at that time marquez i think was p4p#3.....
    Bradley barely beat jmm, he did win, but barely,,, Rigo totally undressed donaire... and jmm is 40 and donaire was prime....

    Agebako is a legit fighter,, thats all i was trying to point out,, he was a solid contender in 118 or 122.... Not the greatest win, but very solid win for rigo, plus he made it look easy,,, Agebako is a tough out for anyone and has fought many times at the championship level and rigo made him look like a novice

        The guy is already there,,, He came in with the hype, backed it up, fought donarie and dragged him, fought agebako and dragged him..
        I just dont understand what a few more wins will prove... Its been pretty much proven..
        Well said man! Rigo beating Donaire who was p4p #4 or 5 at the time is greater than anything Jokeland Ward has done. Jokeland Ward beating a weight drained Dawson who was ktfo1 by adonis, and carl froch who was schooled by grooves, should not put Jokeland in the top 3 p4p.

        Manny beat Tim bradley who was #3 p4p, rigo beat donaire with only 11 fights, both of these guys should be p4p 2 and 3 respectively. Jokeland never beat anyone as good.

          Yes but I wish Floyd faced opposition that actually tested him, wish Andre Ward was more active & wish Rigo could get appreciation/opposition he deserves.

          Top 3 by common knowledge but seldom shown.

            Of course there is. Same with Ward. Neither guy has faced an opponent anywhere near Pacs ability

              It's not that those fighters would make him a top p4p guy. We all know about his talent. I have him at #4 but can't put him over Manny or Ward just yet.

              I would like to see him go up and maybe unify at featherweight or beat a high volume pressure fighter that will bring the fight to him, like a Mares or Santa Cruz. If he does any of those things I think he surpasses Ward who has been inactive and has basically been MIA since the Super 6.

                  And him and Ward have the same number of world title fights. What's your point?

                    may, ward, rigo

                    pac not
                    wlad not

                    the three best fighters right now are those three just based on their skill sets.
