    Thanks for posting it. Yeah I have my agreements and disagreements. No Humberto Soto at Jr. Lightweight (130 lbs.). No Rocky Juarez at Featherweight (126 lbs.). But maybe they just missed making it into the top 10. Lots of good names at Jr. Lightweight and Featherweight. No Freitas at Lightweight (135 lbs.) unless they think Freitas didn't spend enough time there.

    ...Is this a joke?

    Marco Antonio Barrera - Erik Morales, Naseem Hamed, Enrique Sanchez, Johnny Tapia, Kevin Kelley

    Manny Pacquiao - Marco Antonio Barrera, Battery

    Juan Manuel Marquez - Peden, Medina, Gainer, Salido

    ...Now you can explain to me why Manny and Marquez are rated higher than Marco when you've listed Hatton higher than Pac at 140.

    Thanks a lot, kirk. A lot of disagreements from me - Pac/Mayweather over The Viper, JMM over Casa and Chico, JMM #1 at FW, Toney should be higher imo at CW, Wlad clearly over Vitali, etc...

    Pacquiao at 2 at 126? He had 3 fights there, and he didn't even win them all.

    Absolutely, and I'm sure there's some other questionable calls if we were to really examine everything.

    Also, shot as he may be right now, Brewster should be on there for HWs. He had that run where he beat Wladimir, Krasniqi, Golota, and Meehan (+ went to war in a foty candidate against Lyakhovich who also gave his best effort that night). And why is Oleg maskaev so high? And Toney?
