Dan, I love the Top 25 PFP list. Great idea by the ESPN staff. I'm interested to hear who makes the top few spots. Any surprises on the list?

Yes there are a few major surprises that I won't give away but let's just say I am extremely disappointed with how some of the top 5 turned out and dramatically disagree.

No Sergio Martinez on the P4P list? He never quite got the respect he deserves
Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (12:28 PM)
For what it is worth, I voted him in the lower part of the top 25 on my ballot.

For me it's who would do better h2h right now if they were the same size. The eye test if you like, though of course this should be informed by resume (with a weighting for recent activity) and dominance in winning.
And it has to be informed somewhat by resume because there are guys who look scintillating against weak opposition but then can't pull off the same skills once they are faced with tougher foes. For example Lucien Bute.
If you wanted to be more specific you could break it down into categories and give fighters a total score: footwork, handspeed, punching power, defense, ring generalship, quality of resume.
In "ring generalship" I might include the ability to feint effectively and also having a wide variety of punches and combinations for use in different situations.
