4/20/2010. My curent Pound for Pound top 10.

How? I'd struggle to find 10 guys with better records, forgetting about any H2H. Undefeated with 5 wins over guys who were top 5 in his weight class and two guys who were P4P top 20 when he beat them. Only Mayweather can also say that.

 

The definitive list

Pacquiao
Mayweather
Mosely
Dawson
Wlad
Williams
Calderon
Martinez
Marquez
Haye

 

I agree, simply fanboys.

I'm no pacquaio mega fan, but to place him anywhere apart from number 1 is blatantly wrong.

 

If weight was not an issue and we relied on skill alone the Klit brothers would be alot like Kessler. Effective against stand up, come forward fighters, terrible about anyone slightly unorthodox who shows them angles. How you can have them in the p4p ranking is silly, they are extremely good at using weight and height to their advantage, they are unbeatable because of it, if they werent giants theyd be average.

 

There are at least 10 fighters out there who are proven in every possible way. Every characteristic that makes a boxer great, they've got to a proven, high extent. This is not the case with Dawson. His chin is not proven and there are good reasons to think that it is not very good. I can see Dawson losing to a B level fighter who got lucky, even if that fighter only has B+ power. An A-/A level fighter would never lose to such a fighter. Dawson will have to beat a live fighter who put in a B+ level performance who can punch and finish his hurt opponent for me to consider him A-/A level.

Yeah, Dawson is Top 15 given the talent on offer today, but he's not Top 10 in my book. There are at least ten fighters out there who would not ever lose to a B level fighter with one B+ level strength who got lucky.
