    1.Manny Pacquiao: Bursted through the ranks from Flyweight - Light Middleweight. P4P king now with little comparison.

    2. Sergio Martinez: Dominated and defeated big names in Middleweight and a little in Light Middleweight without ease

    3. Floyd Mayweather Before Manny Pacquiao and Martinez this guy was a force defeating Oscar De La Hoya, Arturo Gatti, Zab Judah, Sugar Shane Mosley and many other greats.

    4. Nonito Donaire Early in his career has complete many hard boxing tasks beating Fernando Montiel getting two titles. Donaire did great then, now he will do good in Super Bantumweight.

    5. Wladimir Klitschko 4 heavyweight titles now. Defeated many good heavyweights such as Samuel Peter, Hasim Rahman, David Haye and Ray Austin.

    6. Juan Manuel Marquez King of Lightweight, even at age 38. Defeating many good fighters such as Juan Diaz, Marco Antonio Barrera Michael Katsidis, David Diaz and also know for him close trilogy with Pacquiao.

    7. Lucian Bute Close with Ward and froch but his outstanding wins over Edison Miranda, Lidardo Andrade, Sakio Bika, Fulgencio Zuniga, Jean Paul Mendy, Donnel Wiggins, and Brian Magee.

    8. Timothy Bradley His place here is arguable, he is great but needs to fight Amir Khan to proof he is the best. The Alexander fight puts him here

    9. Bernard Hopkins Since recent win against Jean Pascal giving him the Oldest person to win a title record, he is back as a top 10 P4P fighter. At such a late age too.

    10. Amir Khan A little low of a rating but if Bradley gets title-stripped because of avoiding Khan, Khan will go up and Bradley goes down. Good win over Maidana and Barrera. Stop the headbutts though.

    11. Miguel Cotto Great fights verses legends. Light Middleweight #1. Light Middleweight title. The Margarito bout will bring him up or down. Good Welterweight and Light Middleweight fighter.

    12. Vitali klitschko Great fighter, even at his later age he dominates the Heavyweight division with is brother Wladimir K.

    13. Andre Ward Wanted to rank him at 10 but I just thought the other guys deserved it a little more. Super Middleweight titleholder. Defeated Mikkel Kessler when Kessler had no vision in one eye, Arthur Abraham, Edison Miranda, and Allen Green Possible S6 winner.

    14. Carl Froch Super Middleweight titleholder. Good wins over Glen Johnson, Jermain Taylor, Arthur Abraham, Brian Magee, Andre Dirrell and Jean Pascal. Possible S6 winner. Super Middleweight 2-3 P4P

    15. Steve Cunningham Crusierweight Champion.

    16. Tomasz Adamek Former Crusierweight champion. Now competing well at Heavyweight. Fight with Vitali Klitschko can be a big P4P jump. Resent win over Vinny Maddalone.

    17. Felix Sturm Middleweight Champion, Impressive win over Matthew Macklin last month was really impressive.

    18. Marco Maidana Fast and Strong Puncher. Former Light Welterweight Champion. Recent Close win over Erik Morales. And Close Loss over Dominant Light Welterweight Champion Amir Khan

    19. Saul Alvarez Not Many Big wins yet. Light Middleweight Champion. Wins over Matthew Hatton, Ryan Rhodes, and Lovemore N'Dou

    20. Mikkel Kessler Former Super Middleweight champion. Recent loss to Andre Ward ( No vision in one eye at the time.) Wins over Carl Froch and Mehdi Boudia, and Danilo Haussler recently

    21. Robert Guerrero Upcoming Challenger with a recent win over Micheal Katsidis.

    22. Tavoris Cloud New Light Heavyweight Champion coming off a KO win over Yusaf Mack and a few smaller guys also a UD win over Glen Johnson.

    23. Yuriourkis Gamboa Great Featherweight champion. A recent good win over Jorge Solis. A few big fights including the Daniel Ponce De Leon fight in Sept.

    24. Erislandy Lara After a good win over Paul Williams I think this fighter has a good boxing career ahead. Needs to edit style a little

    25. Dimitry Pirog Russian Middleweight champion. Needs more fighters on resume.

    Mentionable names that almost made this list: Erik Morales, Marco Huck, Glen Johnson, David Haye, Jean Pascal, Fernando Montiel, Daniel Geale, Orlando Salido, Victor Ortiz, Devon Alexander, Lucas Mattysse. :cool:

    the words 'bute' and 'outstanding wins' just dont go together either.
