    Fair enough.

    I put Izzy up there cause a few posters suggested that he should be there, but yeah he's definitely more of a puncher than a boxer. Still, he has skills. Rafa's skills are underrated I think.

    Putting Mijares ahead of Calderon hurt my feelings though. :verysad

    lol! Actually their positions are interchangeable. I don't have a problem if people put Calderon above Mijares. I think these 2 are equally skilled.

    Felix Sturm should be mentioned. Great defence, great footwork and very likely the technically most perfect left hand p4p at the moment.

    Felix Sturm is added in the honourable mention department then. :good

    Which brings to mind that infamous fight with Oscar... ah, wish we didn't have bad decisions as that one in boxing, but it's a part of the sport I guess. :verysad

    Yes it it and the sport wouldnt be as much fun without argueing about "robberies" :lol:

    Out of the list imo Sturm is only second to Hopkins, JMM, and Calderon and on the level of Mijares and Cory Spinks.

    Excellent thread Carles.

    I vote Hopkins 1st with JM Marquez 2nd. A clear top 2 IMO.

    Rafael Marquez. His combos are just nasty when he pulls them off.
