    These lists are usually sh1te, but for those who say Joe doesn't deserve his place, can you tell us what more he can do and who else he has to beat.

    Everybody said he must fight Lacy - he fought and beat him
    Everybody said he must fight Kessler - he fought and beat him
    Everybody said he must fight B-Hop - he fought and beat him

    Regardless of what you think of his earlier career, he has fought the top 3 guys (whatever you think of Lacy with hindsight) that he could possibly have fought, if that doesn't deserve his status in the p4p list what does?

    Even VD has him at number 5 FFS

    Joes is top 5 p4p whatever anyone says - he has the evidence to back it up. Mayweather is without doubt #1, after that you could argue between Joe, Manny, Marquez etc.. as to who deserves the 2 slot (Let's not forget that Joe is only one unbeaten ). All would be valid cases.

    Those who say he shouldn't be anywhere near the top ten then sorry but you don't know boxing.

    With a record of 45-0 (and it certainly isn't a say Darius Mizchaelzewski or Brian Nielsen pumped up type record is it) how can anyone argue otheriwse. He is 4 wins off the greatest record of all time (and I am not talking about Los Del Rio's 'Macarena' here)

    Him and Mayweather are only long standing champs unbeaten - Cotto and Pavlik may join them in time, who knows...

    What does Joe have to do now to prove his doubters wrong ? Pavlik or Jones arfe only real options

    He is well worthy of the #3 p4p slot
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    Number 5 is where he belongs

    I wouldn't have him lower than 4. I could only rate Mayweather, Pacquiao & maybe JMM ahead of him
