When you have guys like Margarito and Pavlik in the top 10, you know boxing is hurting. They are solid, tough fighters, but they lack so many fundamentals it's almost embarrassing to see their names up there with the best of the best.
Pound for pound is based on wins and losses in part, so it's not wrong to have those guys in there. It just says boxing is pretty weak right now. Mayweather leaving really gave that list a major hit.
****, Calzaghe at number 2 looks bad. A slapper is the second best fighter in the world? I got him as 2, I'm just saying it's embarrassing for our sport.
I'm glad to see B-Hop back up in the top 3-5 range, but he's 43 years old! Boxing is hurting, and hopefully some of the young guys can keep developing into great fighters to turn this thing around.
