What will the top 10 boxingstars globally look like today?
Pretty difficult because how do you measure stardom?
Is it a question of:
A: how big a gate you make?
B: How big a purse you command?
C: How many people know who you are?
D: Etc.
Plenty of options. I find it impossible to make a list objectively, but from a global perspective with my own undefined subjective criterias, my top 10 boxing stars looks like this:
1: Manny Pacquiao
2: Floyd Mayweather
3: Miguel Cotto
4: Wlad Klitschko
5: Vitali Klitschko
6: Ricky Hatton
7: Bernard Hopkins
8: Arthur Abraham
9: Kelly Pavlik
10: Mikkel Kessler
11: Lucien Bute
Hmm.... looking at it it might be slightly biased towards europeans although I cannot really say who should replace who. Do you?
EDIT: I've put in Hatton at no.6. Everybody else drops one place accordingly.
David Haye should be on here. According to the Daily Mail he's the greatest boxer since Muhamad Ali
But he's a big deal back in blighty now, bigger than Lucien Bute.
