I wouldn't have R Marquez in the top 10 either, back to back losses should have seen him drop down. I'd probably bump the others below him up and have Paul Williams on the list at number 10 instead.

Aside from that the rankings are very fair imo, and there's no doubt that R Marquez is a brilliant fighter and still one of the best in the world even if I wouldn't have him at 7 personally.
Oh, I have no problem with calling the rankings fair, and I have no major disagreement with the p4p rankings. But it sure aint an exact science. I'd say there's a lot more opinion than you claim. If there wasn't, then they wouldn't need guys like McGuigan and Tessitore on the selection team would they? That's the thing about opinions, you get enough people giving them and things tend to even out and discrepancies disappear.
I think we can be fairly sure that Mcguigan's opinion at least isnt taken seriously by the Ring. If it was Amir Khan would be in the top 5
You're the one who said McGuigan was on the team. Anyways, it's time to move on, in my opinion. We've about wrung this topic dry.
