    i know he's chinny, but i say wladimir, atm the guy is unstoppable and has arguably the best jab in history

    Carl Froch - even when he lost, he'll claim he won.

    Much like Hatton against Pacquaio, who he was hurting and winning the second round 'by a country mile' before he got clocked.

    And by the way, Wlad? Wlad? WHo was KTFO by Sanders and Brewster? That Wlad? Good argument there, bro.

    Floyd, he fights not to lose but hes good enough to sneak some offense.

    Ill say this again, Floyd is probably the hardest fighter to beat in history, just because his game in disengagement and defense, once that becomes a priority, who the hells gonna beat you?

    Arguably???? :huh If you like to lose arguments....Are you really saying Wlad's jab is better than Larry Holmes or Ali? I think Liston had a better jab.

    I would say Chad Dawson. He fights tall, good defense and he is a lefty with quick hands.

    As most people know, the problem with predicting a W. Klitschko loss is not so much in whatever deficiency one could bring up about him, but instead in the competition that he will face. He will most likely never fight his brother, David Haye must be considered a decided underdog, and the same is true of Povetkin.

    Other than Wlad or Vitali, I think that Dawson is a very good choice. He seems to have, for better or worse, retreated from the engaging style he had against Johnson in the first fight. He is more content to use his superior speed and length against most LHWs to pick up easy UDs.

    his jab is arguably nowhere near that of such fighter as Ali, Holmes and many more.

    i'm not sayin it is better, i'm sayin that his jab is up there and there is a solid argument it is the best jab.

    Maybe at the moment he's got the hardest style to beat, but you really takes it to a whole different level when you he's prob the hardest to beat in history, I mean the first Castillo fight was very close and all. I think Floyd is great, but a guy like Whitaker I put my money on.

    the problem with whittaker and floyd is their inactivity. hopkins lost to calzaghe purely on number of punches thrown.

    Manny Pacquiao of today- So many boxers think he is easy to fight but then they get dominated.

    Diaz- He is too effing fast-tko9
    Delahoya-He punches from all angles-tko8
    Hatton same move everytime-result KO2
    Cotto im not hatton-delahoya-diaz- result TKO12
