    How the **** can they have voted in a way that puts Ricky Hatton 19th, and JuanMa Lopez 15th?

    The actually top 10 list isn't all that bad though.

    I have big, big problems with JuanMa at 11. How can you possibly rank him that much higher than Joan Guzman? A more skilled guy all-round, with a slightly better resume but just as unproven.
