    Manny - A beast who should stick to 135/140. He is going to push himself to a limit but he's already a very very great fighter.


    Joe - A fake, sitting on his 0 record hasn't fought much of any fighter. Lost to BHop and said Roy was a worthless win, then decides to fight him.

    AM - Needs to rematch Williams to be considered the man of 147. Although his future is all him. He is going to need to rematch nearly everyone in the division. Williams, Clottey, Cotto etc.

    Kelly - Almost unbeatable at 160. I dont see anyone doing it soon.


    BHop - Crazy skills for an old man. Should retire soon, a going away fight with Roy might be his best choice or a rematch with Cazlaghe.

    The best fighter in the world. Only man ever to win world titles at flyweight and lightweight, only man ever to win a world title at flyweight and win a fight at the welterweight limit. A weight-jumping miracle, a top 50 ATG and climbing.

    And thrilling to watch.

    In all honesty, he has impressed me for one half of one fight in his entire career - the second half of the Kessler fight. I don't think he deserved the Hopkins decision, and the rest of his career has been fought out against mediocre opposition. A man who has cleverly and carefully shrouded a reputation and a legacy in smoke and mirrors as he never fought a peak ATG and his general standard of opposition has been shocking.

    The best welterweight in the world. I would strongly fancy him to beat Paul Williams in a rematch (and I really like Williams), as I think his complacency in the first half of that fight lost him the decision. When he exerted himself, he was the better man IMO. His performance against Cotto was legendary. Margo will become the first man to stop Mosley and will stop being a ww champion when he decides to.

    An excellent middleweight. I think Abraham and Wright would beat him, but still a top quality mw - well, you'd have to be to beat a guy as talented as Jermain Taylor twice. Pavlik was never a top 10 p4p guy in all honesty, but people are now underrating him because of the Hopkins fight, but Hopkins is Hopkins. Pavlik can still have a great career at mw.

    Legend. I have him as 32nd best fighter in history. I could write for hours on B-Hop, but I'll keep it short and sweet: a Master Boxer.



    IMO :bbb

    Manny Pacquiao - Number 1 P4P boxer

    Joe Calzaghe - Most successful 168lb fighter ever

    Antonio Margarito - As tough as they come

    Kelly Pavlik - Decent middleweight

    BHop - Legend

    There you go, short and sweet.

    Guys lets not forget Henry Armstrong held 3 titles at the same time when they were only 8 weight classes....WW, LW and FW......so please Manny is not there yet.....and drew againat Ceferino Garcia for the MW title. so potentially he could ahve held all the titles south of LHW down...now that is history
