    Surprised Bill hasn't mentioned Prescott yet...

    Jeff Lacy fought twice over here, he was on the Hatton Vs Tacki undercard. Far from being in the top ten but its not often a hot prospect from America would do that.

    Kosta tzyu, tim Bradley & Kessler are some more names, but only Kosta has an outside chance of being considered for the top ten.

    Without the big Tv money all fighters had to travel.

    Made for a better sport.

    Ive often wondered why more 'elite' fighters dont take fights in other countries where their big fights are shown in order to drum up some extra business, with limited risk. similar to Barerra winning in the albert hall. I remember being a kid and being blown away by the way he fought.

    Well, not all fighters, but there was more tendency to fight in the location where the fight was biggest. It did make for a better sport, I agree.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr :lol:

    On a serious note, CURRENTLY, I think you'd have to say Timothy Bradley would be up there?

    Anybody? :think

    ......anybody? :lol:
