JMM should be above Calzaghe. Pavlik is a little too high, he shouldn't be above #7, Hopkins shouldn't be above #10, purely on the basis he's lost 3 of his last 5. Mijares should be a bit higher, Williams a little lower, Haye probably a touch higher aswell though #18 is more than reasonable. Campbell should be a bit higher, Vitali Klitschko probably shouldn't be in there just yet.
Good list, but I would definitely place Juan Manuel Marquez above Joe Calzaghe. Nonito Donaire should be in there ahead of Joan Guzman - simply being talented is not enough justification for being p4p ranked, or RJJ would still be no1 as he is still active. Guzman has done **** all over the last couple of years and his resume is shocking. Edwin Valero, Joshua Clottey, Lucian Bute and Steve Cunningham should all be ahead of him - at least they are all active and winning. If Winky isn't in there, neither should Guzman be. Also, I think you have Rafael Marquez a bit high, but that's just personal choice.
ain't right as in he should be higher or lower? I would move him up in the top15. He is at the very least better than his brother, even at 38

Darchinyan has already been taken care of easily by Donaire. Most people already rank Mijares ahead of Donaire so i don't think Mijares will go up much when he beats Vic
I'll only allow myself one criticism, Pharaoh; I think Bute's too high. So far, he's not clearly proven himself to be B+ level, yet. I think there are more than 20 fighters out there better than him, from what we've seen. IMO.
Would be interesting to see a logically argued case for Arthur Abraham being ranked higher than Hatton, Kessler or Haye, given that all of their achievements outstrip his comfortably. It can't be a case of him being unbeaten as we see Cotto higher still.
That was nuts John,Kessler and Vitali in the top 10.Vazquez,Cotto,Dawson Juan diaz all a bit too low.Berto higher than Clottey.No Winky Wright in the top 37,but Tarver still gets in.Paul Williams twenty spots below Margarito.Hatton too low, Abraham too high.Ivan Calderon way too low.Shocking list
