    Out of those boxing currently, which ten do you think have the best resumes - and in what order? (1 to 10 - based on resume only.)

    Who comes top? Is it Oscar?

    *Include Floyd if you so desire (as few think he's really retired), or feel free to leave him out.*

    Pac on top. Fought Great fighters & beat them impressively is spectacular & exciting Passion.

    DLH fought almost all Greats but never win the Big one & some wins are questionable.

    Yeah, and Pacquiao's gifts against Marquez aren't questionable :lol:

    I can't really be bothered thinking about listing them in order, but De La Hoya, Hopkins, Toney, Calzaghe, Mosley, Pacquiao, Cotto, Casamayor, Marquez, Wright.

    Pac, DLH, Cotto, Taylor, Toney and Mijares, these are the only resumes that stand out IMO.

    Roy Jones and Barerra were a bad omissions, I was just thinking off my head

    I don't really consider the others active in my own mind. I like to pretend they are not.

    LIke pacs 2nd fight w/marquez wasnt questionable enough? besides pac has been overhyped! Marquez fight has more significance as he is taking at the #1 ranked fighter in his division(casamayor).Besides delahoya will go down way ahead than pac.

    If you are counting best resumes as who has fought the better opposition then the list begins and ends with Oscar De La Hoya.

    Yeah, of course DLH lost to Mosley II and Trinidad-Anyone with eyes knows Trinidad got owned, and Mosley II would've looked even worse if he wasn't on roids.

    Thank you. JMM beat him twice. I cant believe this guy thinks Pac has better resume than Oscar. Pure nonsense. Oscar beat Trinidad and beat mosley in the second fight. I like you list. Im adding in Wlad.
