1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

4. Miguel Angel Cotto

6. Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz
7. Juan Manuel Márquez
8. Bernard Hopkins
9. Kelly Pavlik
at ten I can see valid arguments for Chad Dawson, Jermain Taylor, Mikkel Kessler, Paul Williams or Daniel Ponce de Leon.
Wink don't make the cut, he has fallen from grace and even fell victim to his own brand of fighting to B-Hop. Rafael and Israel need to settle up before I can put them up above any of the others. However,. the fights I am subjected to as I am made to wait are not going to draw any complaints from me.

No, Cotto should be closer to the top 5 after his win over Mosley. I'd drop Winky Wright from the list and put Marquez at #10. Also, Juan Diaz should be on the list after his last win.

I think the Baby Bull Juan Diaz deserves to be on there as well as Kelly Pavlik and I know everyone mocks the heavyweight division but based on the people he has fought I think Wladimir Klitchko should bring up the 10 spot. My list would go like this currently:
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
2. Manny Pacquiao
3. Bernard Hopkins
4. Joe Calzaghe
5. Miguel Cotto
6. Kelly Pavlik
7. Ricky Hatton
8. Juan Diaz
9. Juan Manuel Marquez
10. Wladimir Klitchko
There are a lot of undefeated fighters just one or two major fights away from the top 10 as well. Aurthur Abraham, Paul williams, Chad Dawson and others.

The Pac Man should be number one! Period! He beat 2 legends in Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera, had a hard fought draw with legend in the making Juan Manuel Marquez, who he is fighting again next spring, and he's a much more exciting champion and has fought much better opposition than Floyd. Outside of Oscar (who he really lost to i don't care what those two blind mice judges who voted for Floyd say), who has Floyd really beaten that you can say was great? I'll tell you who, and i'll quote the words to Alicia Keys' new song........."No One......No One......No One........No One!"
I don't think i would have Winky Wright in my top ten either. Joe Calzaghe would be number 2. Floyd would be no higher than 3 or 4. He's so overrated that it isn't even funny!!

I think Winky shouldnt be up there, and Hopkins is rated too high. Klischko should be on there too.

Definitely not. Marquez in my opinion is rated too high and Wright in my opinion wouldn't be in my top ten..... perhaps top twenty, but not ten
