    1. Vazquez for besting Marquez
    2. Marquez for being nearly equal with Vazquez
    3. Hamed for being GREAT and unifying the titles at 126 and making classic fights...even though he was crushed in his step up to MAB.
    4. Hatton for only (officially) losing to the 2 top P4P fighters in the sport, hanging tough with Floyd and for fighting so well against Collazo the 1st time at WW, even though I thought he lost.
    5. Cotto because he hadn't taken as many chances, being bold enough to move up and challenge himself by calling out the top guys like Hatton did...and being stopped by a big cheater (Margo), then a smaller fighter moving up in weight (Pacman), and being totally okay with the stoppage. That shows he felt he had no chance to WANT it stopped. He was broken twice, inside. I can't put him ahead of Hatton who retired Kostya Tszyu, move to WW twice, and was undefeated until he challenged the 2 top P4P guys in all of boxing. He lost, but at least he had the heart and belief in himself to step up.
