Why is Juan Manuel Marquez number 5 on the Saddo p4p Rankings?

[frozensolid_702]

The Ring magazine have got it pretty much right I think.

1. Mayweather

2. Pacqiuao

3. Wright

4. Taylor

5. Hopkins

6. Barrera

7. R Marquez

8. Calzaghe

9. Hatton

10. Cotto

How you going to complain about Marquez, yet got no problem with Calzaghe being listed extremely too high?

Well Joe has never lost a fight, he's been reigning champion for longer than anybody else boxing in any division and last year became the only super middleweight in history to be given a Ring belt.

He's earned his spot. JMM has lost, and recently as well. His biggest ever fight he got a draw and he's got no big wins over marquee fighters.

Don't get me wrong, he's a great fighter and could well beat Barrera next month. If he does, he deserves to be the p4p no question but until then he's just not done enough.

I am the last Brit boxing follower in the world as you will see the Benny Hill and Ricky Hatton are omitted. My list is based on merit not press releases !



1. Pacquiao (beneficiary of legendary Mexicans beating the $hit out of each other, gets and mops up the sloppy seconds and the hype follows.

2. Calzaghe - undefeated and laced Lacy silly !!

3. Mayweather (finally gets a live opponent in May) Get ready for shocking May results not in his favor.

3. Wright - #1 in terms of boring

4. Hopkins - just good, may lose it all any day without notice

5. R. Marquez - In a dangerous fight with Israel, great boxer /puncher/finisher

6. JM Marquez - will get more miles on his career in a slug fest with Barrera, then fed to Pacqiao. Needs to avoid Pac Man for 1 fight to
recover. Jumping into a Pac fight favors Pac.

7. Taylor - no power or discipline , and little competition

8. Mosley - Hatton in R.I.P. if you somehow surpass my expectations of you in the Castillo fight, Mosley will finish you and render the
posters in here helpless.

9. Arce - waiting to brick the Vic

10. Miranda - forget all the Cotto press

can you name a fighter that has had harder competition over their last 4 fights?
