Well Pavlik will be number two after the Ko of Hopkins

[mexirican]

It be nice to see Pavlik that high but #4 looks about right. Could happen though if JMM isn't impressive or loses vs Casamayor and Kelly looks impressive with a KO on Oct. 18th.

I don't like that pound for pound list. Hopkins shouldn't be in there anymore. But what really has me stumped is how Cotto is still in there, yet he's been dropped to 3rd in the welterweight ratings, below Paul Williams. How is he a better pound for pound fighter but not as good a welterweight as Williams.

Divisional rankings is based on recent accomplishments within the division. P4P is based on how a fighter would fare in theoretical fights where everyone is the same weight.

Williams has to be #2 at WW simply because he has a recent victory over the divisions top man.

Well Pavlik will be number two after the Ko of Hopkins

The sad thing is he could demolish Hopkins and he would still be behind Calfage.

Ahhh... As much as I love Pavlik and hate Calslappy's style he's earned where he is.

I watched the Lacy fight again the other night and was again awed at the skill in which he dismantled Lacy. He was using his left hand well and many were far from slaps.

He's held the title for ten years and holds the title at LHW as well... Can't really argue with that although I'd like to

Yeah I was kinda forced to respect him too.

I liked him when he was an up and comer and for the 1st couple years of his reign but then he started doing what Hatton did with the WBU belt and Warren kept getting him easy defences . I lost interest in him around this point but then got interested again when he fought Lacy , Kess and Hop and now Id say that he is my favourite boxer right now. Cant argue with what hes done.

Now if he beats Hopkins and Calzaghe I would have to put him in the #1 - #2 spot.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Calzaghe wants no part of him but he'll beat Hopkins
