    Who's currently the best boxer?? (excluding Pacman & Mayweather dont need that complaining starting again)

    I'm going to go for a different option and say Guillermo Rigondeaux. Current WBA World super bantamweight holder and 2x Olympic gold medalist.
    Unbelievable fast, eluisive and hard hitting

    Rigo is good but his inactivity is killing me. I dont see Anyone beating Sergio Martinez if he stays at 160 or 154

    and nice shout out with Rigo, great great body puncher. Interesting note, every fighter he has faced so far ( not that many i know) has touched the canvas.

    most people would say Joan Guzman and i tend to agree. Hope you didn't rule him out based on inactivity due to suspension.

    Ya pity he hasnt been boxing more often.
    I think he could easily unify bantamweight and maybe 1 or 2 more.

    Sergio has great power but pity his next fight is against a bit of a nobody and not a title holder or even challenger!

    Joan Guzman is good, but the BEST BOXER?? Are you kidding me? Far Far from it. Cant even weigh in at the limit for ****s sake. And why is he suspended?

    I think if Donaire and Rigo fought it would be an unbelieveable match!!
    Still think Rigo would win it though (Watch me get abused by people now ha)

    No he doesn't. Maybe someday he will (But i kind of doubt it). He doesn't have big power in LWW and he thinks he will win belts in WW and JM, if he does i think they'll be against paper champions, if he does i'll eat my words

    The best BOXER is Floyd.
    The best athletic man with comparable boxing skill is Martinez.
    The best fighter is Pacquiao.

    Froch is great to watch, has a great chin and is very like Rocky in the films!
    But he isnt the best boxer but has been fighting the best boxers consistently in comparision to all others!
