Ring Magazine Latest Ranking: Cotto stays at #7 P4P, Pac jumps to #1 Welterweight

[Shadows]

I don't know how Chad Dawson and P Williams are ranked below Cotto anymore. And I'm a Cotto fan.

Probably because Cotto's opposition has been better.

Dawson and Williams are most likely there because of their talent. P4P lists are based upon skill and talent just as much as resume, IMO.

Cotto didnt do anything to lose his ranking, he lost to the number 1 guy. Apparently the number 1 guy is better than the number 7 guy, kinda makes sense doesnt it?

SSM should still be #1 and Pac should be #2 at WW. **** p4p.

It must be cause really Dawsone and Williams have done **** all.

Cotto atleast (this year) beat a top 10 WW in Jennings then a top 5 one in Clottey (yeh he was lucky) and then fought the best fighter of the last 2 decades at least

I believe so too, but others think it should be solely based on who you faced.

Pacquiao does have a strong case for #1 because he wiped out the same fighter that Mosley lost to 2 years back.

But Mosley should still be #1 because he demolished the #1 to get his spot, not the #2 or 3.

Not gonna accuse GBP of anything, but Pacquiao-Mayweather will be for the Ring title so once again Mosley will get leap frogged because all roads don't lead to him anymore. Disrespected once again.

Dawson has beaten Adamek and beaten 2 top 5 LHWs in Johnson and Tarver.

I agree with it specially with the ww because Pacman destroyed the man that beat Mosley and Mosley hasnt fought in almost a year

holy mother****a, it didn't even cross my mind until you mentioned it.

they made pac #1 @ WW so pac/floyd will be for the Ring Title (added marketing ploy).

had they made pac #3 and floyd #2, then according to their rules, they can't fight for the vacant spot.

business as usual, sad but true.

Dawson whether you like it not, has beaten top LHWs in Adamek, Tarver, and Johnson. The fact that Tarver and Johnson were old isn't really his fault, they happened to be at the top. The fact is, until the arrival of Pascal and Cloud, 175 has been a senior citizens center. Also, the better Adamek does, the better his name looks on Dawson's resume.

Williams has shown the ability to fight from 147 to 160 and fought ranked opponents along the way. No, Quintana, Phillips, Winky and Margarito aren't at the very top (or not anymore at least), but like I said, it's probably based more upon his style and talent.
