Good list.

Izzy has been out for a minute, I know a lot of people took him off due to inactivity. But Paul definitely deserves a spot on there.

Winky was game, and just got battered.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

yeah I'm tempted to leave off both Vazquez and Rafael Marquez not only because they've been inactive but there have been reports that neither fighter may never fight again. Both have been experiencing serious health problems from their fights apparently, I guess Vazquez has some vision problems, dizziness, etc. and Marquez has similar health issues as well.

But I'll leave them on onto I hear anything official.

 

[REdRUM]

I wouldn't have Ricky Hatton on my list.

But that's just me.

 

[SF Slimm]

i think hatton is overrated.

 

[SF Slimm]

so is mayweather.

 

[gabe559]

As much as I hate Paul Williams (I'm becoming a fan) i think he deserves to be in there and replace Hatton with Cotto.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Looks like Gamboa and Celestino Caballero will be fighting later this year. That can shake up the P4P listings as well if Gamboa were to win. And of course, if Mayweather were to beat Marquez that would change it a lot. I wouldn't put Mayweather #1 after one return fight, but certainly he should be top 5, Marquez would have to drop a couple spots.

Honorable mention:

Nonito Donaire


IMO, this guy is definitely going to be on that list in the near future.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Donaire looked impressive as fuck the other day. The only reason I don't have him ranked is because he's only fought twice in the last couple years. I believe he had some contract dispute or something which is why he was inactive. Even though he KO'd Darchinyan, Darchinyan has done a lot & looked very impressive since then, which is why I have him ranked so highly.

Donaire is the real deal though, he'll be a pound 4 pounder in no time and Darchinyan will always be his bitch, lol.
