    Emphasis on "relevant". I love Evander Holyfield, Erik Morales, and Roy Jones Jr. too, but they don't count.


    Paul Williams
    Hozumi Hasegawa
    Alfredo Angulo
    Devon Alexander
    Shane Mosley

    Yours?

    Active and relevant to me means someone who is fighting at least 2 or 3 times a year, and is a factor in his division. He should also be a pfp boxer.

    In no particular order:

    - Manny Pacquiao
    - Edwin Valero
    - Timothy Bradley
    - Yuriorkis Gamboa/JuanMa (tied)
    - Donaire/Darchinyan (tied)

    FMJ is a factor, but not active. Fought once last year.
    Andre Ward is soon to become a bigger factor, and is probably the biggest factor now at super middleweight. He just missed my list.
    Humberto Soto is a big factor at lightweight, but Edwin Valero is an even bigger factor. A win over Valero means more than a win over Soto let's put it that way.
    Chad Dawson also just missed my list, but the relatively weak competition around him makes his division less attractive, and therefore less of a factor in boxing's bigger picture.
    Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, and Alexander are all knocking hard as well to be on the list.
