    In a tiered system, I was thinking:

    1- Manny Pacquiao
    2 - Floyd Mayweather Jr (talent over resume here)
    3- Bernard Hopkins

    4 - Roy Jones Jr (talent over resume again)

    5 - Erik Morales
    6 - Juan Manuel Marquez
    7 - Felix Trinidad
    8 - Marco Antonio Barrera

    9 - Joe Calzaghe
    10 - Shane Mosley



    5-8 are a ***** to sort out IMO. Others will probably think differently.

    But of course Hopkins hasnt done much more than Calzaghe so I can easily see some people disagreeing.
