  1. I was too lazy to rate the others .. just threw Malignaggi in at 11 to emphasize his relative position.:D

    Bradley beat Witter away from home as an underdog to win the WBC title.

    D Hopkins is rubbish. He has not done anything and does not even appear impressive. He got lucky against Torres, the headbutt at best set up the KO and at worst did most of the damage, and he was on the verge of getting KO'd himself, legitimately.

    I don't buy it.

    Tough. Holt won the fight, and if you don't believe me, refer to boxrec.

    Junior Witter :lol:
     
  5. Yeah, except that I think Bradley is probably the best in the division regardless. Pac may well be the man, but it is difficult to assess him after only the Dela Hoya farce. Hatton did defeat Urango (and Ricky looked better I thought in his last fight under Mayweather) but he wasn't dominant in any sense of the word. Urango hurt Ricky and might well be able to close the show if they fought tomorrow.

    It doesn't surprise me that you find it woeful. I find most of your picks and assessments pretty ridiculous so this is how it probably should be.

    Watch Manny Pacquiao's career DVD. The guy has never fought at 140lb.

    What do you mean exposed? Do you mean he was badly hurt by a huge bodyshot by a ****ing hard-hitting machine before composing himself and winning the rest of the fight?

    ****ing exposed :-(

    urango manages to hit hatton with some clean shots using his footwork..hatton's can be defeated if you box him..but still, hatton composed himself and dominated from rd 7

    Manny Pacquiao fans pretend like their man has never been hit clean. I'm still convinced the vast majority of you switched off his first fight with Marquez after the 1st round, and you only count knockdowns. Anyhow, back to reality, fighters will get hit and what's important is how they take the shot, or how the recover. It was a credit to Ricky, not a slight, that he was able to recover his composure and sweep the fight, pretty much.

    Ring Magazine listed in the top 10 at 147. Equally ridiculous.

    He can be listed among 140lb fighters, but he should not be anywhere near the top 10, and certainly not number 2.
