    Everything below Bantamweight are divsions I love to watch (I have a lot of respect for the best little guys as they give us great battles) but I don't get to see enough of these divisions to rank them properly aside from 4-5 fighters in each so I'ma leave them alone.

    LOL @ Russel Jr. being 7th. . When he's fought nobody aside from C level pugilists at best. . .

    Haye 3rd is pretty comical as well. . .

    Other than that, divisional rankings are fair enough.

    Pound for pound: pac/marquez need to be swapped (2-0-1) Cotto being 9th, coming off a one-sided loss is hilarious. . He sure as hell wasn't no damn 9th before the fight. . . Above Bradley? (yeah, you're a 'momo :) ) Above Mares, and Klitschko?! Nooo sirr. . . This leads me to believe you have an agenda to make Floyd's win over Pac's leftovers look better. . And Donaire should be above Ward, Wladimir, and SErgio. . 3 division champ, in 4th weight class, and KO'd a top 5 pound for pounder, and top 9 pound for pounder. . . Still don't get how people miss this. . . But, I've seen more comical lists. . .

    Haye is clearly the 3rd best heavyweight....just takes eyes to see this.

    Russell might be reaching I agree but why no hate for the Mikey Garcia ranking in that case? he also has fought no one of worth but has looked great doing it.....don't like the slick blackness maybe??

    Cotto just pushed the best fighter on earth more than anyone has in years....that counts for a lot. Not to mention since moving up he's undefeated and the clear top man in the division aside from mayweather if he stays there. I could see an argument for Bradley, Mares but they're all close and no matter how you rank these guys someone is gonna give you ****. If I had had Mares ahead some Cotto fanatic would come in here bitching....you know how it be

    Surprised you didn't give me **** for not having Khan in the top 25 or for having Peterson above him at 140
