    Always gives me a headache this one but heres min anyway ....richie please take bhop out ....top ten at the current moment ..no chance.anyway heres mine

    1 Manny
    2 PBF
    3 Mosley
    4 Williams
    5 Bradley
    6 Dawson
    7 Donaire
    8 Calderon
    9 Valero
    10 Vitali

    Know Edwin's choice at 9 is very controversial but as of today this is where i think he sits but i know its controversial. also would have vitali anyday over wlad despite stats etc. Top 4 picks itself. Would love to have fitted in Ward but will wait till he wins super 6 :-)

    It's almost impossible to come up with these types of lists, you'll never keep everyone happy but what the hell

    Pacquiao & Mayweather are the obvious choices for 1&2, personally I still think Floyd can beat him but seeing as he has only had like one fight in the last 2 years while Manny has been beating guys left, right and center, I have to give the #1 slot to Manny
    Anyway, my list
    1. Pacquiao
    2. Mayweather
    3. Lopez
    4. Donaire
    5. Williams
    6. Dawson
    7. Ward
    8. Vitali
    9. Valero
    10. Mosley

    Bit controversial having Mosley that low, but after Floyd takes him to the woodshed he'll be lucky to be on there at all!

    Pac
    Mayweather
    Williams
    Wlad
    Mosley
    Dawson
    Hasegawa
    Vitali
    Bradley
    Ward

    I can't have Hopkins in there anymore. He hasn't done anything since Pavlik. Same goes for Pavlik, who would have been in there before the Hopkins fight. Marquez, Cotto, Lopez all deserve honourable mentions.

    I expect Valero (if he can get his **** together) and Alexander to make it in over the next year or so with the likes of Mosley and Vitali falling out of it.

    Lopez is a good shout in fairness. would nt have him that high myself but hes definitely top 10 material. Agree on Mosley statement been controversial ;-)

    Bute is an interesting one ...really like watching him but is he top ten?
    besides andrade he aint fought much quality. by end of yr we ll know where he sits. for me he needs a big fight against a pavlick,williams, or any super 6 or maybe bhop to see where he stands.

    Wonjongkam is definetly up there too after his recent defeat of kameda plus his previous record is savage.

    Delighted to see somebody excluding PBF .
    Like me , I too would leave him out ..... not because of talent but rather lack lustre achivements .

    Pac is clearly #1 - his domination of various weight classes is exceptional .

    Sergio Martinez is also in my list , vastly under rated in my opinion

    Ward's got great potential , but he aint on my list till he tackles more top class fighters .

    Mosley deserves a mention too .

    Bump
    Mayweather definitely regains top spot for me, he was always really my #1, but considering how inactive he had been, you couldn't have put him there. I think it's fair to put him up there again though after the beating he gave Mosley. It'll also be interesting to see how Mosley slides down these lists, I had him at #10 but most others seemed to have him in their top 5.

    Just looking back, my #9 is dead, who'd have predicted that?
