    1-floyd mayweather jr. especially inside the ring. the kid is the smartest fighter today imo.
    2-winky wright-mainly because of his defense.
    3-james toney-yes, he is out of shape which is why he's behind wright but the man is a smart fighter in the ring. his ability to roll off punches are phenominal.
    4-i may get bashed for this one but i don't care, joe calzaghe. he is smart boxer and at the same time very fun to watch.
    5-last, i'll go with taylor and here's why. the man is sloppy with his punches, lacks many technical skills in the ring and looks sloppy in many of fights to date, but when you beat hopkins, who is one of the smartest fighters of his genertation which just your physical abilites and aggressiveness that says a lot. and, those are his strongest traits. i'm pretty sure he knows he is a sloppy fighter but he also knows he stays active in the ring and even against winky wright who many feel he lost to stayed physical and active enough to make the fight a draw. plus, he's still undefeated too,which helps. so those are my top 5 in boxing today. now, some honorary mentions are ricky hatton because he stays on you with constant pressure and paul williams who does need to work on his defense but is a very smart offensive fighter who is still undefeated.

    you read my mind.what a coincidence.
    floyd,winky,toney,and calzaghe. i swear
    but i don't get it with taylor. i see him as being dim,sort of slow in the head.

        Clearly though, James Toney has the best *******.

            yes he is, but the only reason he's not on my list is because he is semi-retired. i was referring to active fighters today, but i do agree when he comes back, he'll be top 7 easily. i don't know where i'd rank him exactly but definetely top 7, no doubt, and the only reason i'm not sure where i'd rank him is because he's not in his prime although he is still a wise veteran who would outbox many of today's fighters in their prime. it's just that i have a very solid list of foghters imo and he did lose to taylor and i would have loved to see him fight floyd and winky and hatton for that matter. hell, i would have loved to see him fight toney also, because he fought brilliantly against tarver and was very smart in the fight. we'll see when he makes his return back to boxing.
