    Thoughts?

    I think Izzy shouldn't be top 10. Hasn't had a meaningful fight since April (?) last year. JuanMa isn't top 10 yet as well IMO. Otherwise I think it's a decent effort.

    I couldn't really be less of a fan but I would say Wladimir Klitchko deserves top ten. (most probably 10).

    Juanma is a diabolical choice. Talk about believing the hype. He might be the best thing since sliced bread but lets wait for him to do something first. His last performance indicated he still has some way to go.

    Not a bad effort..... Cotto is a bit high IMO, none of the bottom three would be in my top 10 to be honest.

    It's better than the British top 10 though!

    It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

    Izzy shouldn't be in there any more. In his last fight he really struggled against nondescript opposition - I think Rafa has a better case to be top 10 (although he wouldn't be in mine either).

    I didn't have JuanMa top 10 before his last struggle - he wouldn't be in my top 15.

    I'd replace them with Donaire and maybe Calderon.

    Darchinyan deserves to be in there over JuanMa, despite losing to Agbeko.

    Agreed. Hasegawa is due a mention IMO

    No Calderon? Very bizzzare...

    Also, Juanma? I'd certainly take him out and put in Gamboa who, in my opinion, will be the best in 2 years time.

    Adamek, Tarver x2 and Johnson x2 is pretty decent. Could certainly merit a top 10 place in this era.

    Dawson is worthy of his place in my opinion. As you say, he has beaten some top guys.
