1. Sergio Martinez: The new P4P Number 1 imo. I cant stand this man because he destroyed my favorite fighter (Paul Williams) but I cant deny hes beastly. Hes been on a roll beating top Prime fighters. Cintron fight was a draw but we know the truth. He stopped Cintron. Outboxed Pavlik to win the Lineal Middleweight crown. Destroyed consensus Top 10 P4Pounder and even some publications and sites had him Top 5 and Top 3 fighter in Paul Williams. Then went on to outbox and stop JMW King, Dzizniruk. His chasing of Ishida, Zbik and Chavez worries me but hopefully he faces another top fighter.
Update: Has a fight scheduled for October 1st. Allegedly against Daniel Geale, new IBF Middleweight Champion.
2. Manny Pacquiao: Former Number 1. I have to drop him to number 2. He put on a lackluster performance against a dead man walking. His post presser comment of "If he doesnt want to fight what do i do" was disgusting and showed how little hes really improved. Um Manny you....adjust? I dont know cut the ring off maybe? Go to the body? Counter the jab over the top? Anyway ever since he waxed Cotto hes been downhill opponent wise. Clottey, Margarito, Mosley and now rumour has it JMM at 147. Hes wasting some good years of his career. Very good fighter, good person and a beast in the ring but he needs to go back to 2008 form. When he was a KILLER. His excessive glove touching almost made me throw up. Hes too nice at times. And before you say well it was Shane starting it. I'll tell you this Shane tried to touch gloves with Floyd one too many times and Floyd punched him in the face. Shane didnt attempt it again.
Update: Manny and Arum were constantly called out by Mayweather. Floyd said his legal troubles were no problem and that he even went as far to get his trunks and robe ready. Top Rank never repsonded. But Top Rank were quick to type up a response to" The Article" a few weeks back. He also signed to fight Marquez.....at WW. :(
3. Floyd Mayweather Jr.: IMO hes the best fighter in all of boxing. Hands down. Just way too inactive. Really needs to get back in the ring. Money is wasting the last years of his career by being so inactive.
Update: Signed on to make the bigest WW fight since Mosley-Floyd by fighting Victor Ortiz in September.
4. Nonito Donaire: I was a devout hater of this man because he fought fighters way below his talent level for YEARS. It was like he beat Vic and just dissapeared. His destruction of Montiel who destroyed another fave of mine in Hasegawa was just brutal. Almost decapitated the guy. Rumoured to being going after Vic, Arce and Moreno.
Update: Sadly nothing. Thanks Bobby.
5. Wladimir Klitschko: I dont like him. At all. But I wont deny his talent, skill level and the fact that even though the heavies suck its not his fault. He just wipes his butt with everyone he faces. Fighting David Haye next in what is imo the biggest heavyweight fight in years. Haye has the elusiveness, expolsiveness, speed and one punch KO power to off Wlads on switch ,should be a great fight.
6. JMM: What can I say. The stone throwing, piss drinking master boxer still has it. Dude can still fight even at what 37? In the last 5 years has only 2 Losses to : Floyd and Pacquiao. Hes the number 1 Lightweight in the world. The division doesnt have much to offer him but I still hate the Diaz fight. Its a joke. Rumoured to fight Pac again...ofcourse at a weight where he wont be that effective.
Update: Diaz fight canceled.
7. Andre Ward: My boy S.O.G. Imo the BEST 168 pounder in the world. Has a complte game. Offense, defense, strength, speed, smarts, deceptive power and a good beard to boot. You can make the case that he hasnt lost a legit round since 2009. Hes been dominating people with ease. I fully expect him to once again shut out another fighter against AA.
Update: He did just that and domianted AA to make into the finals against Carl Froch.
8. Carl Froch:is a flat out beast. Look at this resume; Since 2008 hes fought in order Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler and AA and is scheduled to fight the Road Warrior. Sick, sick gauntlet to go through and imo he beat Kessler and lost to Dirrell. Froch not Pac has the best resume in boxing right now and its not even close.
Update: Add Glen Johnson, who just stopped Alan Green to that list.
9. Bernard Hopkins: What is he 50 years old now? Just schooled Pascal didnt win the fight according to the judges though. Rematch coming up, if he stays on his feet he beats Pascal easily. Gotta watch the flash KD's.
Update: Flat out dominated Pascal to become the oldest World Champion in boxing history. Props to BHOP. Too add to his legacy hes fighting Chad Dawson next.
10. Tim Bradley: Hes dominated everybody hes ever faced and as much as it pains me to say this hes the man right now at 140. He beat another fave of mine in Alexander in one of the ugliest fights of the year. Also rumoured to fight Pacquiao. Allegedly ducked Amir Khan but if its for a Pac fight cant really call it ducking.
Update: Turns out I was wrong. He really did duck Amir Khan. I almost want to throw him off the list. Coward move.
Outside Looking in:
Cotto, Wonjongkam, Segura, Haye, Williams, Gamboa, Khan and Cunningham.
