    He was an undisputed champion and two division titleist (should have been 3, IMO). He was avoided, yes...but he also has two brilliant and dominant wins against Shane Mosley, to compliment a schooling of Trinidad and good wins against Quartey, Soliman and McKart (amongst others).

    He didn't look done. Tito was what he was - basic. So against crafty defensive masters like Winky and Hopkins - he was always going to struggle.

    I'd still give him a spot, I'm fairly certain the Tito of 00/01 against, say, the Castillo, Casamayor or Coralles would be no certain thing either way...

    I voted Castillo, but I'd probably put Cotto in ahead of the 3 listed.

    Trinidad fought 9 times in the 2000's. He lost 1/3 of those fights. And was schooled badly twice. Only 1 of those wins was against a potential HOF level opponent (Vargas).

    So that's 1 notable win in a decade, and 2 bad schoolings - hardly worthy of a Top Ten place.

    Margarito's resume is pretty good for the 2000's, though his cheating probably results in his exclusion

    In era of belt holders - he was a champion. In many (most) people's opinions he beat Floyd Mayweather. Plus wins over potential HOFers in Casamayor and Corrales.

    Your whole P4P list needs some help. Here a real P4P list with real fighters, not hype jobs. I noticed you mentioned Calzaghe but must have accidentally put him in the wrong place. Allow me to assist.

    1. Joe Calzaghe undefeated 2 weight champ
    2. Zsolt Erdei undefeated 2 weight champ
    3. Dariusz Michalczewski 2 weight champ
    4. Sven Ottke undefeated champ
    5. Bruno Girard 2 weight champ
    6. Sergiy Dzinziruk undefeated champ

    I hope this gives you some ideas and helps you to reassess your mistakes
