After review, I feel that this is a bit more realistic when taking resume, head to head and position at the moment: 1. Manny Pacquaio 2. Floyd Mayweather 3. Cristian Mijares 4. Joe Calzaghe 5. Juan Manuel Marquez 6. Ricky Hatton 7. Israel Vasquez 8. Miguel Cotto 9. Rafael Marquez 10. Bernard Hopkins 11. Winky Wright 12. Mikkel Kessler 13. Jermain Taylor 14. Shane Mosely 15. Chad Dawson 16. Wladimir Klitschko 17. Ivan Calderon 18. Nonito Donaire 19. Arthur Abraham 20. Paul Williams 21. Kelly Pavlik 22. Junior Witter 23. Juan Diaz 24. Sergey Dzinziruk 25. Jorge Linares Here is my attempt, I feel that it will consistently changing up this year and in the near future.
Here's my attempt at the top 25 1. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. 2. Manny Pacquiao 3. Bernard Hopkins 4. Juan Manuel Marquez 5. Ricky Hatton 6. Israel Vazquez 7. Miguel Cotto 8. Joe Calzaghe 9. Winky Wright 10. Rafael Marquez 11. Marco Antonio Barrera 12. Jermain Taylor 13. Shane Mosley 14. Wladimir Klitschko 15. Mikkel Kessler 16. Ivan Calderon 17. Cristian Mijares 18. Joel Casamayor 19. Juan Diaz 20. Chad Dawson 21. Arthur Abraham 22. Paul Williams 23. Nonito Donaire 24. Kelly Pavlik 25. Vernon Forrest (Or) Cory Spinks
juan is a buam:good he has fought nobodies and has won every belt which rightfully is the property of joel casamayor nice guy but he is feather fisted for his style of boxing
:-( Juan is not a bum he's a very good fighter and so what if he's feather fisted? he has insane stamina, workrate, good body punching and he's got good skill.
I don't mind you putting Calzaghe in your top 25 but how the hell can you have him above Hopkins and Hatton?
Mijares is on spot, top 5 is where he should be, the way he brutally shut out Arce is a true signature win in the modern times. Calzaghe over Hatton for numerous reasons and Kessler over Taylor for consistency. Remember, H2H comes into the equation for my list as well and that's why Hopkins and Wright are lower, because I feel they are on their last legs. Taylor H2H is not ****, he will not be competitive with top class big men who can punch, nothing like Kessler will be.
I would also like to see G3E considered in everyone p4p list - that really makes for a realistic top 25.
NO CASAMOYA?!?!??!? Hes the Linear Champ at 135, beat Corrales. Got jobbed against Castillo/Freitas. Should be ahead of anyone named Diaz on a P4P list
It's why I also did not include Barrera and Casa, I feel they are almost finished off, you know? The list is going to be changing, I can organise a better one in a few months that would be definitive for 2007.
