As good as Rafael Marquez is, he lost his last two fights.

Don't see why he should be on this list. But all these type of lists have some flaws in them.
Boxingscene actually has some pretty decent quarterly rankings. Even Ring seems to be behind the times in their evaluations.

How bernard hopkins is on anyones list is beyond me.

[NAPO]

jm marquez,rafael marquez,bernard hopkins should NOT be in there.

[KING •]

I wonder the same thing man...

I think he threatens everyone with violence...

jm marquez,rafael marquez,bernard hopkins should NOT be in there.

I do not agree with your JMM remark. The guy is one of the most talented fighters in the world to this day. His pure boxing skills are amazing.


The other two I can understand.

The Chris John loss wasn't a loss and the Pac fights were really, really close.
He makes the list in my eyes as well.

u know what after reviewing it again.i believe he a p4p fighters but not high probably 7-10

JMM should be there. I don't know if he should be as high as he is, but definitely on the list. he's actually my favorite active fighter. the guy does some AMAZING **** in the ring. i mean, i hardly ever see anyone land 3 consecutive lunging left hooks, 5 punch combinations with precision, dude is the pistol pete marovich of boxing.

That will happen when you fight the absolute best competition possible. Either way, he belongs.
