I am not gonna put Hopkins in my P4P list because he has retired from the sport. However, I do think Miguel Cotto's performance Saturday, as well as Tarver's flat showing against Hopkins, warrants a P4P ranking. Its more out of default, but really WTF, right?
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
2. Winky Wright
3. Manny Pacquiao
4. Marco Antonio Barrera
5. Rafael Marquez
6. Jermain Taylor
7. Ricky Hatton
8. Jorge Arce
9. Joe Calzaghe
10. Miguel Cotto
Hopkins deserves to be somewhere in the 7-9 range. Paulie was not rated in the top ten by the ring (and i dont think any other ranking body either) so i wouldnt say migel winning in a close fight to an unranked fighter warrants a p4p showing.
I don't understand how you can put a retired fighter into the p4p list. Only thing that changes is Tarver is out, which he was never on my list to being with.
