Well I did mention Dawson and Williams

I would probably rank Dawson and Williams above, maybe, but its not by much. Donaire has the best win of anybody being discussed here IMO. Dawson and Williams maybe have a better overall body of work. At least Dawson.
Of course P4P is not just about accomplishments, its subjective too but generally I think all four guys have top ten P4P talent.
A bit off the point but I have to disagree with CFH on Caballero. Not the other guys though.
How is Donaire's much better?
Who (vic aside) has Donaire beaten that was better than Ponce De Leon and Penalosa?
Remember Darchinyan became a two weight world champ and defeated Mijares and Arce AFTER the Donaire fight, so you can't give Donaire the credit of beating a superflyweight multi divisional conquerorer because he hasn't beaten one at all.
What about his the rest of his opposition? He's beaten nobody of note whatsoever. Since fighting Vic he's beaten Maldonado who Vic ko'd in 8 and Montiel in 3. He's fought some unknown South African who nobody had heard of in Mthlane and then fought again a complete unknown in Rual Martinez.
Yes Martinez was unbeaten but so what, Dimitri Sartisan was unbeaten when Kessler fought him last time out as was Koji Sato who Felix Sturm beat last time, why not put Sturm in the top 10 p4p for acomplishing such a great feat?
His resume has a single name on it, and the acomplishments of that opponent were made largely after that fight.
Putting Donaire at 7th is more erroneous than putting Mijares in there last year.
