How does Manny lose a fight against Marquez and barely make the top ten. P4p is boxing by drive through.

IamInuit if it was a favorite list JMM would be #1. I'd also have Mikey Garcia somewhere in there.
I tried to just view them as individual fighters based on the 3 things I listed which again are win/lose, performance & accomplishments.
I don't use the criteria of who beats who in order to determine p4p rankings. I think that's what you maybe thinking.
For example: Wlad is rated higher than Rigondeaux based on my criteria
however p4p matchup between those 2 if they both weighed the same I'd rate Rigondeaux higher then Wlad.
As I stated above with Nonito hanging by the hair of his chinny chin chin both Froch & Roman Gonzalez have a shot at that 10 spot. 2 division champ, quality of opposition is pretty good and his performances have been good as well. It will depend on how they both do. Gonzalez is set to make his debut at Super Flyweight and will attempt a 3rd title either late this year or early next.
Again this plays into the fashion in which he lost. As noted above wether we like it or not the loss to Bradley effects his ranking but not too harsh. He goes on to get KO'd in spectacular fashion but because he was so high up he stays in. I have seen him not listed at all. Me personally he still belongs in there.
