MIRON's TOP 10 #4#
1. Bernard Hopkins: KO wins over De La Hoya and Trinidad cemented his claim as the best middleweight of his time. Victories over respected champions Keith Holmes and William Joppy makes his resume a lot more impressive.
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Performances against Diego Corrales and Phillip Ndou mean that he deserves the number one spot but his failure to dominate Jose Luis Castillo gave Hopkins that spot. Soon to be number one if he hurdles any of the following fighters: Vivian Harris, Kostya Tszyu, Sharmba Mitchell and Ricky Hatton.
3. Erik Morales: Junior Jones, Barrera, Ayala, Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, Injin Chi, McCullogh. BIG names and Morales slew them. Victories over PACMAN below or Corrales above depending on performances of my pound for pound choices for number one and number two might give Morales a chance at the top.
4. Emmanuel Pacquiao: Easily the hardest hitter in his weight class plus he has a blinding speed that seems also unrivaled at his division. Looked one dimensional in his ‘victory’ against Marquez, but didn’t anybody remember his two previous performances against Barrera and Lucero?
5. Juan Manuel Marquez: His classic ‘rise from the dead performance’ against PACMAN catapults him to this position. Notable victim: Speedy Derrick Gainer and former champion Manuel Medina.
6. Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright: Convincing victory over Mosley is enough to land this spot. Also he put in a good performance against Fernando Vargas, a fight many felt he won.
7. Cory Spinks: Beat Mayorga who beat Forrest twice who beat Mosley twice who beat De La Hoya twice who beat Julio Cesar Chavez twice!!
8. Diego Corrales: Impressive against the previously undefeated Freitas. He can go up a few spots with a victory against an Erik Morales or Jose Luis Castillo.
9. Rafael Marquez : Exactly the opposite of his brother. Rafael goes for the kill and initiates exchanges. Notable performances are against Tim Austin and Mark Johnson Johnson.
10. Jose Luis Castillo: His performance against Juan Lazcano is pretty hard to ignore. Plus, his first fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. attracted many Floyd unbelievers to make an issue out of it.
