Mine is something like this:

1. Kostya Tszyu (Simply amazing performance against Mitchell)
2. Vivian Harris (Most underrated fighter in boxing)
3. Miguel Cotto (Best prospect in boxing)
4. Arturo Gatti (Has yet to truly prove himself)
5. Floyd Mayweather (Hasn't beaten anyone at 140)
6. Ricky Hatton (Same reason above, only no excuse)
7. Sharmba Mitchell (Biggest disappointment, I had him at no. 1)

How can you justify putting a Cotto, A guy who you called a prospect over Floyd. The Chop win is bigger then an oh his.

Cotto gave and took against Lovemore N'Dou, the toughest sob at 140. He blew out Pinto and Sosa, too very good fighters. At the end of the day, Mayweather's only fight at 140 was against an underachiever who wears makeup and a skirt. Give me a break. You know how many people like that I've beaten up? I should be at number 8 I guess then, right?

Cotto above Gatti, PBF and Hatton for that matter? Dun think so. N'dou + Pinto don't prove much to me...Imo

Hey, I admit I don't know much about you, but I really don't think you've beat up too many Demarcus Corley's, or you probably would be no. 8 at 140. ;)

But I basically agree with your ranking:

1. Kostya Tszyu (The king until dethroned)
2. Vivian Harris (I agree, underrated)
3. Miguel Cotto (Looks good, but is he ready for the big time?)
4. Floyd Mayweather (Because I think he's that good, but no real proof yet)
5. Arturo Gatti (Impressive over Dorin)
6. Ricky Hatton (Call me when he fights someone)
7. Sharmba Mitchell (Too bad, past it)

I hate to say it, but it looks like everybody has Gatti ranked too high. I don't think he can beat any of the big name fighters, unless he's improved far more drastically under McGirt than I think is possible.
