Comments Thread For: Closing 2009 - BoxingScene’s Pound for Pound Top Ten

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - With the significant results for the year tallied, and the anticipation for 2010 already building, this marks the final look at the top fighters in the sport for this year.

Not much has changed since Manny Pacquiao’s Welterweight win over Miguel Cotto provided the last shake up, but there has been enough in December to merit some shifts in the ratings. While others move, only one departs.

Exiting the top ten is Cotto. It is no insult to Cotto. The Puerto Rican star has faced a tougher field of comp over the last few years than almost anyone in the sport and deserves full credit for it, but the reality is he has also taken full punishment in the ring. Resume does not, in this case, overcome the combination of the performances of another and two brutal stoppage losses in Cotto’s last four fights. [Click Here To Read More]

Paul Williams at 4. Paul has been busting his ass, he does deserve that spot. Bradley should be higher then Chad Dawson, lets be real.

even tho i think they have a serious advantage over their foes...i think at least one of the klits should be on the list...the only person left is haye...after that...they can literally beat everyone else...

nice to see a jap on the list.

[knockoutQ]

Paul Williams should be 3rd

[-EX-]

I think Bradley should be higher...I don't know Hasegawa but I think I'd put Calderon ahead of him as well...and I'd still have Cotto on the list...

I don't rate Heavyweights P4P, but understand those who do...

...however...

If the Klits and anyone on this list, or the next ten, were magically the same size, magically retaining all other relative advantages/disadvantages, the Klits would get their ass kicked.

There have been a handful of Heavyweights, ever, who stack up athletically or skill wise with the best smaller men. The Klits ain't among them.

Hasegawa #8.

If he moved up and beat John, as Ring alluded to over the weekend as a possibility, he'd jump a hell of a lot higher than that. That's a big if still. I'd expect, if he leaves 118, a fight with Nishioka at 22.
