    Do you have a list? I don't but I'd like to see what other people think. The Ring's is very **** nowadays.

    Yahoo Sports do a poll of boxing writers to compile their list http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=AkSIIsbwOyC3wcjaUzsojH.UxLYF?slug=ki-boxrankings042110

    I think that's quite decent. But should Shane Mosley be there and be ranked so highly? He's being inactive for more than a year. I think there should be a 12 month cut off period. If you don't fight for more than a year then you should be automatically dropped.

    Also, IMO, the biggest criteria should be recent form and for me, in boxing, that means your opposition over the past two or so years. Bernard Hopkins, somehow, still gets credit for what he did 4,5 even 6 years ago. That's a load of bollocks. It should be a current list.

    Anyway, your lists please :good

    I like how Martinez is getting ranked after the Pavlik win yet Pavlik was one of the worst linear MW champs for yonks ;)

    Sergio is top 10 material for me as well though

    I suppose they could argue that Paul Williams didn't *really* conclusively beat Martinez and he's widely considered in the rankings. He was also ridiculously jobbed against Cintron and that should be considered a win.
