1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Juan Manuel Marquez 3. Paul Williams 4. Bernard Hopkins 5. Shane Mosley 6. Rafael Marquez 7. Chad Dawson 8. Miguel Cotto 9. Ivan Calderon 10. Juan Manuel Lopez 11. Arthur Abraham 12. Nonito Donaire 13. Chris John 14. Mikkel Kessler 15. Wladimir Klitschko
Good list. I'd have Wlad at 9. Drop Ivan to 11. Love the fact that you see PW as the 3rd best boxer in the world. I don't see how people can argue with that rating but rate justify Mosley being at 5. EDIT - Im just going to post mine.
I think Williams and Dawson are too high (although both are still in the top 10 in my opinion). Abraham over Pavlik will cause some debate as well
1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Juan Manuel Marquez 3. Paul Williams (can be switched with Hopkins but hes been inactive) 4. Bernard Hopkins 5. Shane Mosley 6. Chad Dawson 7. Miguel Cotto 8. Wladimir Klitschko 9. Juan Manuel Lopez 10. Ivan Calderon 11. Kelly Pavlik 12. Nonito Donaire 13. Arthur Abraham 14. Chris John 15. Mikkel Kessler Past 10 is such a wash, you could mix and match them anywhere. Although I think Pavlik gets very overlooked for his one loss to Hopkins who is at 3/4. While Mosley who lost to Cotto (and Mosley was not in the ratings at the time, its completely overlooked)
One loss isn't a death sentence - being made to look like a complete and total tool in that loss is. Sometimes, it's in the "how", not the "what".
Juanma Donaire Need to do something else to get in my top 15 they are great talents but they aren't quite there yet.
shouldn't kessler and hopins be 1 and 2, after all they did give the greatest fighter of all time close fights!
