New pound for pound top 10

1. Floyd Mayweather

2. Manny Pacquiao

3. Ivan Calderon

4. Israel Vazquez

5. Kelly Pavlik

6. Arthur Abraham

7. Bernard Hopkins

8. Rafael Marquez

9. Miguel Cotto

10. Juan Manuel Marquez

 

Wow, even with my utter distain for Joe Calzaghe I would still put him on my Top 10. It would be begrudgingly done, but I would.

 

Arthur Abraham ahead of Miguel Cotto, JMM, and Joe Calzaghe?

I would like to see your reasoning for that one.

 

......it all goes downhill after 1 and 2 doesn't it!?!?

 

Pound for pound Abraham is more skilled imo. Calslappy is ducking fraud. Anyone who ducks Glen Johnson 3 times, and is now trying to find a way out of fighting a 43 year old Hopkins does not make my list.

 

I'm no Calzaghe fan, but he deserves a spot there.

 

But he hasn't proved in any way that he's a better fighter than Calzaghe. He has perhaps looked more skilled, but against inferior opposition.

 

Please, Abraham is tough and exciting but there's no way in hell he's more skilled than Cotto, Calzaghe and Marquez. Come on...

 

1. Mayweather
2. Pacquaio
3. Calzaghe
4. Hopkins
5. Marquez
6. Vazquez
7. Cotto
8. Klitschko
9. R. Marquez
10a. Kessler
10b. Calderon

Guzman may have deserved a place on the lower echelons

 

Nice list, I like that.

 

Swap Calzaghe and Hopkins, replace Kessler with Pavlik and add Juan Diaz, and I have no issue with this list.

 

Yep good point, I had forgotten about Diaz and Pavlik... We've got a pretty good group of fighters active right now. :bears:

 

...says the guy with a Sven Ottke username.

 

Calslappy ducked Ottke for years.

 

I need a little bit of education from some of the sharper boxing fans around here. What about Chris John?

The guy is undefeated, holds a win over JMM and has held a major belt for 3+ years.. Even if the JMM was close or controversial, doesn't John deserve P4P recognition?

 

Where's Calzaghe? :dunno:

Anyway...

1. Floyd








2. Calzaghe
3. Pacquaio
4. Hopkins
5. Cotto
6. Pavlik

6) Dawson (Black)

Both Marquez brothers should be top 10

that cannot be disputed. :nono:

 

Bush-league midgets dont count. :doh: and it's nice to know there's another Marquez out there somewhere, hopefully Pacquioa's mysterious brother can gobble this alleged brother up in his local white-belt league or wherever the fuck he resides.

 

:laughing:

No Calzaghe???

Your list is SHIT!!!

::

 

Wheres yours then?

 

Where's yours?

:flip:

Leaving out Calzaghe is just plain ignorant or just being a hater.

Quick question. Why isn't Hatton in the top 10. I mean he should atleast be #10. I don't see what the problem is losing to the best fighter on the planet right now. I mean how in the hell does he go from being in the top 5 arguably to not being rated at all. That's whack. I'll Holla 5000

 

Yeah it's pretty funny. People keep Rafael Marquez in there top 10 after getting knocked out in his last fight, for the 4th time in his career. yet Hatton is dropped out of the top 10 after losing to the best fighter in the world for his first loss? Something don't seem right about that. :dunno:

 

Some people might believe, that Rafael Marquez is simply a better fighter than Ricky Hatton from watching both fight. Would you pick Ricky Hatton over a prime Rafael Marquez. Don´t lie now. :nono:

 

Why would I lie? I like Rafael Marquez but it's definantely hypocrisy. The answer is yes, without a doubt.
