    Because if there would be a ''Who has more balls'' contest between Izzy and Paul Williams,Izzy would win.

    By 5.

    I don't understand how having Williams above Hopkins can be justified, I strongly disagree with that.

    Other than that, I think your list is very good. All perfectly valid calls.

    Decent list, perhaps Cotto & Mosely should be a lot closer together & I might have Pacquiao an outright no1 with JMM at 2 (I know JMM deserved the verdict vs Manny but Pac has been more dominant since)

    He said he just decided to retire because there's nothing left for him to do after the whole Adamek thing fell through.

    What does 10 to 20 look like? Nice list I am glad you resisted the urge to put Paul Williams higher than 5 and also not puting Pavlik or Dawson was the right move but you may get criticised by a few huggers.

    I would not argue someone putting Hopkins over Williams at all. I actually had Hopkins above but I thought Williams deserved the nod.

    He hasn't retired. Don't get me wrong, I understand where you're coming from, and to be honest if this inactivity continues much longer I'll have to kick him out, but for now I'm content to keep him in because he was just so damn good in the trilogy and is only out now due to injuries sustained in battle. He must come back soon though, or it's sayonara.

    I disagree but can see someone putting Hopkins above him.

    I don't necessarily agree with some of this DIN. For one I think Cotto should be above Williams.

    Anyways I guess to be fair, I'll show mine off the top of my head.

    1- Manny Pacquiao
    2- Juan Manuel Marquez
    3- Bernard Hopkins
    4- Shane Mosley
    5- Wladimir Klitschko
    6- Vic Darchinyan
    7- Miguel Cotto
    8- Paul Williams
    9- Tomaz Adamek
    10- Chad Dawson

    Few things I realized:

    1-Izzy and Rafa haven't fought for a year so while I want to list em (Izzy at 5, Rafa at 9), I just don't think I can in all honesty. Wouldn't be fair. EDIT: Correction Rafa HAS fought recently but it was a lil tune up bout and not anything signifcant.

    2-Man 5 to 10 on the P4P list is just a mess. You could throw just about ANY name in the top 10 and have a decent shot at being right.

    3- NOBODY friggin stands out
