    Ok, so name your top 10 active fighters which are not in the Ring Magazine's P4P list. They dont have to be the most talented, just your favourites to watch.

    The Rings Top 10

    1 Manny Pacquiao
    2 Sergio Martinez
    3 Nonito Doniare
    4 Juan Manuel Marquez
    5 Pongsaklet Wonjongkam
    6 Wlad Klitschko
    7 Tim Bradley
    8 Giovani Segura
    9 Andre Ward
    10 Miguel Cotto

    So, my favourite 10 fighters are:

    1) Carl Froch
    2) Michael Katsidis
    3) Roberto Guerrero
    4) Brandon Rios
    5) Paul Williams
    6) Mikkel Kessler
    7) James Degale
    8 ) Yuriorkis Gamboa

    For the purpose of this, Floyd Mayweather is a retired fighter.

    So almost all of my favourites then.:lol:

    1. Cristian Mijares
    2. Miguel Acosta
    3. Ricardo Cordoba
    4. Roman Gonzalez
    5. Omar Narvaez
    6. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.
    7. Tomas Rojas
    8. Ivan Calderon
    9. Takashi Uchiyama
    10(A). Guillermo Rigondeaux
    10(B). Cristobal Cruz

    I know there's probably a few I'll be kicking myself for leaving out but that's all I can think of as of now. I didn't include the likes of Barrera, Izzy, etc because I'd consider them as good as retired. I'm not sure if Cruz is planning on coming back, so I just stuck him in at 10(B).

    :yep

    I think the only fighters from The Ring's that I'd put in my list are Cotto and maybe, maybe Bradley. Though, if Cruz is still active I'd probably have him at nine, which would mean Uchiyama making way for Cotto, and there's no way Timbo replaces Cruz.

    Not above the guys I've listed, no. Of course I can acknowledge how good they, and(begrudgingly) how they're better than my guys, but I've followed most of those guys for years when they were(and still are) fighting in general obscurity. Plus, I prefer the lighter weights to anything else.

    In no order..

    Marcos Maidana. Makes wars.
    Erik Morales. Mr Machismo!
    Danny Green. For teaching me Aussie slang after Briggs
    JuaMa. Kill or be killed.
    Tyson Fury. Seems like a great kid
    Randall Bailey. Still a banger
    Mick Katsidis. Honourable warrior
    Alfredo Angulo. An animal who I hope returns soon.
    Vic Darchinyan. Armenian psycho
    Librado Andrade. A class act.

    Fair enough. This isnt based on talent anyway, its just preference of styles, attitude, resume etc.
