I got you covered, and here's Ring Magazine's top ten p4p boxers in their June of 2003 issue;

1. Bernard Hopkins
2. Roy Jones
3. Marco Antonio Barrera
4. Oscar De La Hoya
5. Kostya Tszyu
6. Erik Morales
7. Floyd Mayweather
8. Ricardo Mayorga
9. Lennox Lewis
10. Vernon Forrest

Ricardo Mayorga #8. lol.

Doesn't look so good a few years later, does it?

But it's typical of them to rank a guy who had defeated one of their other guys who they considered a p4p elite...Mayorga just knocked out Forrest in impressive fashion for the welterweight championship when Vernon was ranked 4th on their p4p lists (based on Forrest defeating Mosley twice, who, if I'm not mistaken, was their #1 p4p fighter going into that first Fight with Forrest).

And Iron Mike, I really don't exactly know why Lewis was ranked where he was, but I can say that he did recieve more credit in the boxing press later on in his career.

It's because he's a heavyweight, and he's not american. "P4P" is basically an American-made up term.
