    Based purely on fights which occurred Jan 2000 - Dec 2009

    1.Manny Pacquiao
    2.Bernard Hopkins
    3.Floyd Mayweather Jr
    4.Marco Antonio Barrera
    5.Juan Manuel Marquez
    6.Erik Morales
    7.Shane Mosley
    8.Winky Wright
    9.Jose Luis Castillo (I scored Mayweather 1 for JLC so that bumps him up into the top 10)
    10.Joe Calzaghe


    There's no place for guys who only fought well for a couple of years or a few fights in the 00s, like Roy Jones, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, Tito Trinidad, James Toney, etc.

    If you scored Castillo-Mayweather 1 for JLC, that puts him above someone with a resume as flimsy as Calzaghe's, and I had it to Castillo by 2.

    But I agree on Wink, he could easily be placed above SSM. I don't have a strong conviction either way.

    I think DLH and RJJ deserve to be there more than Calzaghe. I like the list.
