    23. Winky
    24. GGG
    25. Terry Norris

    I personally like who they've included for the most part with the exception of GGG and Chocalatito. It's too early in both of their careers to be on a list like this. Neither has true signature wins. I'd put froch or tim bradley above both of them. Besides that I kind of like this list. Some of it is out of order IMO but not by much. I think 1 and 2 are pretty predictable.

    There's been some complaints that Vitali/Martinez deserve to be on that list more than GGG

    Froch and Tim Bradley could easily replace GGG. If you're going off who is better in the ring, then GGG has a better case.

    How is Whitaker below Chavez and DLH when he arguably beat both of them, lol.

    What criteria are they using? Doesn't really make sense.

    I don't rate Froch higher than Kessler. What about Felix Trinidad, Vitali or Marco Barrera.

    As a big fan of GGG I must ask....What the **** is he doing on this list?:-(

    Martinez deserves a spot at this point more than GGG does, and where the **** is Carl Froch?

    Weird list.. Nonito Donaire should be above some of the fighters there. He definitely achieved more.

    I don't get the deal with both #1 and #2 being question marks. Does that mean he currently has Mayweather first, but will switch them if Pacquiao goes 2-1 in his trilogy with Bradley? :huh

    ...or that he currently has Pacquiao first, but will bump him from that spot in favor of Mayweather if Bradley wins the rubber match?
