    Disgrace he's not higher or lower?

    Probably one of boxing's best athlete this year considering his physique, age and performances. I'd have him way higher up.

    I'd have him top 5 easily, knocked out Pacquiao who is the 2nd highest earner in sport for a reason!

    Because all he did was KO an overhyped fighter who leaves his feet in a boxing match. Im sure at this point Ortiz and Rios could slid Manny. Would you give those guys a high ranking?

    because boxing is just one of many sports, you must also remember that the olympics were held this year.

    He is ranked number 2 in Mexico, closely behind Mexico's number 1 athlete which is chicharito Hernandez, a Mexican Soccer Player who plays for the English Premier league I think Manchester United.

    Number 3 is Canelo.

    he is only 53rd best athlete of 2012, that is the proof
     
  12. That whole list is a joke. Phelps is only at 14 but they have baseball players in the top 5. Ridiculous.

    the list is only for athletes popular in US, Marquez being from Mexico hardly counts
    especially that he aint too slick
