2008 Pound For Pound Top 10 Ring Magazine

I definitely don't think Hatton should be up there.

I think Calzaghe at 5 is ridiculous, and Hopkins at 4 is even more ridiculous.

Zag should be 4 at least, and Hopkins I dont believe belongs to the top 5, but Ring is owned by Golden Boy so here you go.

#1 and #2 do business with GBP.
#3 is a GBP fighter, #4 is a GPB East main man
#5 will soon do business with GBP

Added to this the Ring’s pound for pound is fairly inconsistent. Some fighters lose and they are removed, other fighters lose and they just drop a few places. It doesn't make sense.

[Flab]

joking right?

s.featherweight is one of the hardest divisions, s.middleweight is not.

[Shanus]

s.featherweight is one of the hardest divisions, s.middleweight is not.

Calzaghe
Kessler
Bute
Mundine
Froch

Just because they aren't American doesn't mean it's not a tough division.

I definitely don't think Hatton should be up there.

Me too after that embarrasing Knock out.

Exactly, how can you be on the list after a knockout, even if it was to Mayweather?

[werewolf]

what do you think about the list? I don't agree with it, at all

I think the whole "pound for pound" thing is a lot of horsefeathers. Nothing but a list of some guy's favorite fighters. Far as I know it was invented by Ring magazine (and how does that piece of crap manage to stay in business?) to fill up some more blank space.

hopkins beat winky and tarver in his last 2 fights. to me thats good enough to put him up there.

He had 2 fights in 2 years, 1 against Tarver, which he won legitimately, and another one with Wright, who was far above his natural weight class, and he still struggled a lot with him.

You can tell that GBP own the magazine from that list, it's complete rubbish.

Hopkins & JMM above Calzaghe, LOL.

JMM has proven Waaaaaaay more than calzaghe while fighting waaaaaaay better opposition. B-Hop is B-Hop, the former p4 king, he shouldn't drop too far unless he's beaten decisively.

Calz is only there because of recognized skill, but honestly, he's beaten absolutely nobody at all worth mentioning.
