    Pretty much.

    A bit harsh on Calzaghe maybe, but other than that spot-on.

    Manny Pacquiao - Manny, Manny, Manny :soccerred

    Joe Calzaghe - Only guy I know that can consistently go from suppossed to being KO'd to beating up on a "shot" or "over-rated" fighter in under 6 rounds.

    Antonio Margarito - He reminds me of Casper Ortega.

    Kelly Pavlik - Skinny white boy can punch, but can't move.

    BHop - Didn't he tell his mama that he'd stop fighting when he's 40? I wonder if he and Shane Mosely go to the same "nutritionist"?

    Pac- Best in the world, my favourite...About the become clearly the greatest Asian boxer of all time.

    Joe C- Truly amazing boxing talent who unfortunately will be remembered more for his long run of meaningless fights in the pursuit of an inflated record...IMO used by people around him but also a situation he seemed comfortable with for a very long time.

    Margarito- Someone I wrote off, underrated and wasnt that impressed with for a long time and he proved me wrong.

    Kelly Pavlik- Overhyped middle of the pack at the elite level type of fighter...Fun to watch and will continue to make sure I catch his fights.

    BHop- X-traordinary.

    Manny Pacquiao: A future ATG and one of the greats of this generation, easily. P4P#1 and there's no serious competition for his #1 spot unless Mayweather returns.

    Joe Calzaghe: Definitely a great fighter with great skills. Sadly he didn't show it against elite fighters in their primes except for Kessler, Lacy is also a good one to mention and if Lacy seems like a bum today who can't pull the trigger then it's because of Calzaghe. Not sure how he will be remembered in the long run but a great fighter with great abilities, no one can deny that.

    Antonio Margarito: World class fighter, can give anyone he's put in against hell. He holds one major win only worth mentioning and seems to be taking the easy route now that he hit stardom after his very first major win. Sadly the pride over money talks were proven wrong and proven BADLY when he shamelessly pulled out of a fight with a guy that beat him who also offered him a career high payday and settled with HALF the amount fighting a shot to death fighter in Mosley. Not to forget that he has no plans to rematch Williams next year since his manager already revealed his plans next year. Considering all the pride over money promotions they started for this guy and legacy over money bull**** we all saw through one would expect them to at least show SOME of it, when you see guys that whopped his ass follow him when it's supposed to be the other way around you know a few desperate Mexican fans have been spreading endless lies on the internet to try and make him seem like the beast of a mammoth he's promoted to be.

    Kelly Pavlik: One punch wonder, pretty sure that's how he will be remembered in the long run since I just can't see him getting past his biggest threat at MW in Abraham.

    BHop: One of the greats of this generation easily and a guy who never quits.

    Manny Pacquiao
    Fantastic fighter who will be remembered as one of the greats of the sport
    Joe Calzaghe
    Easily the best boxer to ever come out of Britian, hope he fights Dawson then retires 47-0
    Antonio Margarito
    True warrior who has one of the best chins in the sport, hope he has a rematch with Williams to see who is the best at 147 (unless Floyd returns then he should fight him)
    Kelly Pavlik
    Got schooled by a true legend but i think he will come back stronger, but don't think he can beat Abraham
    BHop
    Hopkins reminds everyone age means nothing to him and hope he retires with his last fight a superb win.

    Manny Pacquiao - I like him much more than I did now he has improved his skills, the jab especially. He was very left hand dominant. Combined with great speed, stamina and power it makes him a dynamic and exciting force. I thought he lost twice to Marquez narrowly, however his resume down on paper will seal his place in history and it can only improve.

    Antonio Margarito - A relentless fighter, with great chin and heavy hands and incredible stamina. Combined it makes him a very hard nights work. However, he has definitely become somewhat overrated since his win over Cotto. His lack of speed and open defence makes him fodder for certain styles of fighter. Fighters that can do what Cotto did early, but have the stamina and defence/durability to continue the gameplan for 12. Will lose to Williams again, would lose to Mayweather handily despite all the "ducking" nonsense that is being spewed.

    Kelly Pavlik - A good fighter, I always said he was a good solid fighter. I also said things were getting way out of hand prior to his loss too, he was never as great as people thought when they were saying he'd destroy Calzaghe and such. Still, a good technical pressure fighter. Does most of the basics well, throws punches and hits hard. Similar weaknesses to Margarito. I think they lose to the same styles of fighter. Margarito would look like a donkey against a Hopkins type too, he was unfortunate that fight came along.

    BHop - I still feel his resume is somewhat overrated when people are talking about how he's top 30 etc. His middleweight reign as far as competition was not that great. It's mainly what he's done since in combination with incredible longevity that boosts him. Nevertheless, a fighter that could mix it with anybody from any era.
