Pacquiao has the top spot only because he got the official decision over Juan Manuel Marquez. If not for that, Marquez would be on top, because I had him winning their rematch.

I feel that Calzaghe is on the decline, but until he is beaten, I can't exclude him from the top P4P fighter argument.

I left B-Hop out of my last set of rankings, but after watching his bout with Calzaghe again and scoring it 114-113 in his favor this time, I had to include him. Keeping in mind that he has legitimate claims to have won both fights against Jermain Taylor and hasn't clearly lost since Roy Jones, it only makes sense that he stays up here until Kelly Pavlik puts him out to pasture for good.

As much as I respect and appreciate Ivan Calderon, I saw fit to leave him off this time around because of the fact that he's in a division that's deprived of meaningful fights and his complete and utter lack of power handicaps him to an unsafe extent from moving up in weight.

Why Pavlik over Vasquez and Margarito
Cause thats where he belongs
See less See more
All he did was beat Taylor, who hadnt looked good for a while and was slipping off peoples P4Ps

Its not always who you beat but in the you beat them. Also, how can you say Taylor hadn't looked good for a while? He was a hell of a fighter before Pavlik got a hold of him.
So Margarito Beating a top 5 p4p like he did wasnt enough to put him above Pavlik, Taylor had a few good fights with greats, all of which had alot of people crying robbery, and had terrible fights with Kassim Ouma and Spinks
