Not a bad list, the only guy I wouldn't have up that high is JMM. He has kind of attrioned he was lower or out. Keith
Last night was a great win for Ward, but there's no way I can rank him over Wlad Klitschko right now.
How over-rated can a guy be on the basis of one win? Why not include one of the Klitschko's for dominate performances over a number of top 10 guys instead?
You've got to put Ward somewhere near there owing to the dominance of his performances in the last three years. I think by the end of the Super Six, he'll be knocking on the door of the Top 5.
How come Zsolt Erdei is knowhere to be seen? He's made 11 WBO defences at 175lbs and just stepped up and won the WBC title at Cruiserweight. He has to be given some credit. How is Cotto still there with two quite brutal defeats?
Exactly, people are pretending like Ward had only just arrived last night, but he thrashed and outclassed another good fighter in Edison Miranda not too long ago. Ward is the goods, and anyone who thoroughly outclasses the best Super Middleweight in the world deserves recognition as one of the best fighters in the world in my judgment. He'll climb the latter, too.
Compare the competition that Miguel Cotto faced to that of Erdei. During those 11 WBO title defences, name me one fighter who can be mentioned in the same breath as a Joshua Clottey...or a Shane Mosley. Cotto loses because he's fighting the best fighters in the world, Erdei is winning...because he isn't.
Yeah I mean all he did was move up 2 divisions and faced the p4p best active fighter...As opposed to Donaire who has done? Oh yeah he beat Darch like 10 years ago. Marquez can come back and clean the lightweight division for another 2 years or so what are you on crack?
is this a joke? he beats a washed up maranda a guy who got beaten the **** out of by pavlik and abraham and he beats kessler so with only one decent win his top 10 p4p material? this is bull****... no vitali, wlad or haye? just mentioned 3 ppl who deserve to be in the top 10 and ward isnt one of them
