    1.Nate Campbell- Only knock on him is the Peden fight, but a lot of guys have had to suffer because of it!

    2.Rafael Marquez-The Vasquez fights alone put him on the list. Fight of the year candidate. . .again!

    3.Glenn Johnson-He beat Chad Dawson but Gary Shaw's money was in Chad's corner. . .and I really like Chad.

    4.Bernard Hopkins-You can't deny his accomplishments.

    5.Josh Clottey-Actually my 2nd favorite but he's not a fight of the year candidate and people needed to be reminded about Marquez/Vasquez II!

    HONORABLE MENTION-Jameel McCline-I know its a top five but I had to give him honorable mention because I stood next to him while he autographed a box full of boxing gloves(about 30)off camera, on the side of the auditorium, just because he was asked to, before his weigh in vs Ruiz. He lost the fight but won the hearts of the children of Cancun, Mexico. He also won the right to be added to anyone's list in my book!

    1. The Pretty Boy, cause Money aint done yet, baby!
    2. James "Lights Out" Toney, the Darth Vader to Bernard "Luke" Hopkins, because if they ever meet, (If Hopkins finds his ballsack) After the fight (Toney TKO 5), as Larry Merchant is interviewing James.

    James....."Bernard, Obi Wan never told you what happened to your Father."
    Bernard...."Yes he did....he said you killed him"

    James Toney......"No Bernard. I am your Father"

    Bernard......"NNOOOOOOO!!!! ITS NOT TRUUEEEE!!!

    No order:
    1. Joe Calzaghe: Undefeated, great defensive fighter. Very underrated imo.

    2. Edwin Valero: He is a big fight away from showing everyone he can actually box. Morales and Barrera endorce the guy.

    3. Floyd Mayweather: The best pfp fighter today bar none.

    4. Arthur Abraham: Probably the hardest puncher pfp. Very underrated boxing skills.

    5. Juan Manuel Marquez. Aging like fine Wine. His time is almost at an end. Love his heart and skill.

    Almost made my top 5 current:

    Gerry Penalosa: A superb pro who has fallen under the radar. A true pro, ask Manny PAc.

    Manny PAc: One prime win against a Valero or AM after Dlh puts him in my 5.

    Kelly PAvlik: A win over a top guys does it for me. A very underrated boxer.



    Fighters I don't like: NONE.

    Fighters who need to change my opinion about them: Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Jermaine Taylor, O'Neil Bell, Wladimir Klitschko, Ricky Hatton, Jorge Arce.
