    Replace Casamayor with Mijares, Cotto with Calzaghe, and you have a good list.

    Difficult to split Pac & JMM so depending on your preference it's either JC at 1 or 3.

    It's an argument I have on here every time I come on. I just don't see it with Calzaghe. Two great wins (Lacey & Kessler) in a whole career don't make someone worthy of such a high ranking. Other guys can have more than 2 great wins in 1 year! Joe was poor against Hopkins.

    Yup, I don't buy Joe Calzaghe. He beat Lacey (who now is looking like a bum despite winning his last fights), he beat kessler (his only impressive win imo), and he beat hopkins (controversially...i didn't thnk he beat him)

    He slaps guys, he doesn't hurt them. All his knockouts vs above average competition have been TKOS not KOs. I don't like his style, and I think his style will get burned sooner or later (a 44 year old man was able to do it, i hope RJJ can do better)

    It's a joke to have Pavlik that high. Maybe at no. 9 or 10. Beating 1 fighter just dont cut it.

    Why is JMM ranked higher than Hopkins ?Last I checked p4p wise Hopkins has much more success than the elder Marquez.
