    The Ring has these fighters as either the "Champion" of their weight or ranked at number 1.

    How would you rank them in an alternative form of P4P style list?

    Pound For Pound- Manny Pacquiao
    Heavyweight- Wladimir Klitschko
    Cruiserweight- Tomasz Adamek
    Light Heavyweight- Joe Calzaghe
    Super Middleweight- Mikkel Kessler
    Middleweight- Kelly Pavlik
    Junior Middleweight- Vernon Forrest
    Welterweight- Shane Mosley
    Junior Welterweight- Ricky Hatton
    Lightweight- Juan Manuel Marquez
    Junior Lightweight- Edwin Valero
    Featherweight- Chris John
    Junior Featherweight- Israel Vasquez
    Bantamweight- Hozumi Hasegawa
    Junior Bantamweight- Vic Darchinyan
    Flyweight- Nonito Donaire
    Junior Flyweight- Ivan Calderon
    Strawweight- Roman Gonzalez

    Because Kessler would most likely defeat Calzaghe now mate.

    The margin was only wide because JC was fighting on home soil. I had Calzaghe wining the fight by 2 rounds which I think was more realistic.

    Notice your use of words 'most likely' since this actually happened and it wasnt long ago at all id have to say im happy with the evidence to keep JC above Kessler.
