I agree w/ the welterweights, Shane beat the man that was considered at the top at the time, until someone beats him, he's still the top dog imo.
I still think Donaire should be ranked over Darchi over in Junior Bantam even w/ the inexperience in that weight class.
Anyone complaining about Mosley over Pacman is clearly not a boxing fan!!Mosley is the man at 147,here's why,he beat the man formerly the man in Margarito,true story!!Pacman did beat Cotto,but he didn't fight him at welterweight,he did it at a catchweight!!I'm a fan of Pacman's as well,but he isn't greater than boxing,period!!Mosley is king of the hill & until he's beaten,no man should be put ahead of him,Roach himself didn't want it,floyd is shook as we speak,the only fighter man enough to call Mosley out was the Punisher!!But if u gonna give every other welterweight a pass for avoiding him,U gotta give Sugar 1 too,fair is fair!!:boxing:
smh @ people complaining that pac isnt the number one welterweight. He shouldnt even be ranked that high because he has only had one fight at the welterweight level, against oscar de la hoya. He fought cotto at a catch weight.
What do you think of his list? Agree/disagree?

on the Light Welterweight Ranks Lamont Peterson should be ranked 7th...Not 10th...
Dont know if Cotto should be kept at 4 after his loss to pacquiao with clottey kept at 5. I might flip the 2 but i really cant complain either way.
My only beef would be what in the world Zab judah doing in the top 10 of any division???
He still has the name? I'm kind of puzzled myself about how he keeps getting on these lists and is often discussed in big possible fights.
Any idea why Zavek is lowly ranked? IMO, a champion should be no lower than 8th. He should be higher than Judah who is very inactive. Other than that, pac should be above mosley but that is debatable considering mosley's run at WW. And pac's resume is just dlh and cotto. This really depends on Dan Rafael's criteria. I think activity is maybe just around 10% or less of his criteria.

Why? Pacquiao beat a downhill Cotto at a catch weight. Mosley beat Luis Collazo and the Welterweight King at the time...Antonio Margarito, who beat IBF welterweight champion Kermit Cintron and gave Cotto his first loss.
I have Shane over Pac. But, I can see how some people might have Pac ahead of Shane. He has been inactive for a whole year now and that has to count for something right? I mean you just can't sit on the #1 spot for over a year and do noting.... If Pac beats Shane, I would have Pac ahead of Shane.... Just cuz of Shane inactivity...
I'm a little surprised he has Mosley over Pacquio but I can live with that ranking. I would have it Pacquiao,Mosley, than Mayweather. I agree I cant beleive Zab Judah is in this ranking.Why?

It amazes me how Zab Judah continues to be highly ranked and get top fights. And also Mosley hasn't fought in over a year, Mayweather hasn't fought a WW in over two years.
