    I'd say the list looks just about accurate.. Abraham as a maybe and Pavlik too soon to tell? I dunno...

    I don't think Khan or Guerrero has a chance..

    This has been talked about, but in the editorial this month by Nigel Collins, he defends the upcoming fight between De La Hoya and Pacquiao like a vicious den-mother. It's pathetic, disturbing, and offensive.

    That besides though I have to say this month's issue is amazing. Great issue of The Ring.

    Pretty good list.

    Think it's fair to say that Jones Jr., Hopkins, DLH, Mayweather Jr., Toney and Mosley are guaranteed spots there so there's no need to mention them.

    They're talking about current active/prime fighters, those guys you mentioned are all guaranteed spots there already(pretty sure of it).

    Absolutely terrible list. Nothing wrong with the sure shots but the way he has categorised some of the others is ******ed.

    It's active though, I'm pretty sure he retired - but I agree.

    This guy William Dettloff is one of the most hyped writers at The Ring, why I have no idea. He comes off like an idiot alot of the time. I don't really respect him as a boxing guy.

    The fact that he had Khan in too soon to tell - probably, and a promising guy like Dawson in too soon to tell - probably not, kinda ruins any credibility.
