what will be the p4p top 10 this time next year??

[Julius Rain]

ok here goes....

1-Manny Pacquiao
2-Ricky Hatton
3-Israel Vasquez
4-Paul Williams
5-Juan Manuel Marquez
6-Andre Berto
7-Miguel Cotto
8-Chad Dawson
9-Arthur Abraham
10-Juan Diaz

Its an ok list, we never really know what could happen.

I can see Ricky jumping to #2 if he loses to pac via close decision and beats jmm at 140 and another top 135 that would move up to 140. Maybe.

I think Israel will be fine, I read his injury has a high recovery percentage.

as for JMM being at #5, only if he loses then me will drop there but if he doesn't he stays closely to pac at the top.

Paul williams is good but his going to have his hand full with winky, if he happens to stop winky and continue to win impressively during 2009. then this can be possible.

I hihly doubt Berto will be top 10 by next year, theres too many better fighters right now. Plus who will Berto beat at the division?

I dont think Chad Dawson will be top 15, who can he fight to get him in top 10?

If Arthur beats Pavlik then maybe he closes in to top 10 but his going to need more big fights.

Juan Diaz is not getting in top ten period.

Heres my list:

Pac: stays on fire during 2009, beats hatton, spanks floyd back to retirement at 147.
Jmm: Rules the 135 division, and ready to climb up to battle against his biggest rival Thee PACMAN!
Margarito: Beats Williams in a rematch and tighten up his grip on the welterweight division. Pac threatening, the matchup looking more possible then ever.
Izzy: Not as active but keeps his place.
Rafa: Ruling the division in IZZy's absent.
Nonito: Rules the Flyweight division! ko's montiel,vic(again), mijares.
Calderon: Continues to be undefeated, beats solis!
JML: Threatening Rafa and Izzy, a match is about to be made for 2010.
Pavlik: Comesback and rule his division, ko's arthur
Cotto: Comesback but still not going to beat margarito.

1. Pacman - beats Hatton, retains #1 spot.
2. JMM - beats Diaz
3. Vasquez - continues to dominate
4. Darchinyan - beats Arce, beats winner of Donaire v. Montiel
5. Margarito - beats Cotto and Mosley
6. Celestino Caballero - jumps into top ten with win over Juanma
7. Pavlik - beats Abraham after beating Rubio (but I'm not sold on a win over Abraham yet, waiting for Rubio fight). If no AA fight. No top ten.
8. Rafa
9. Paul Williams - beats Winkie in close/ugly split decision, and then beats Dzinzurik in a close but unanimous win. Forrest and Margarito don't want anything to do with him.
10. Nate Campbell - win over Funeka, and another win, but can't land fight with Pacman or JMM.
11. Chris John - beats Rocky Jaurez in the US and then fights another big fight here.

• I'm assuming Calzaghe and Bhop retire, and PBF stays retired.
• Dawson didn't make my list only because a Tarver win doesn't do it for me, and his following opponent won't be world class.
• No super-middleweight made it because I'm not convinced of another big fight on the horizon.

You think chocolate will move up in weight? I think he has the frame for it.
