Funeka will probably move up to 140 pretty soon I would imagine. He maybe could make some noise.

Arum & Team Pacquiao want to fight the tenth ranked Jr WW by boxing scene instead of Mayweather. Bawahahaha!!!!!!! Talk about cherry picking fights brother. These guys are losing all credibility.:smileysex

I knew they'd have Bradley above Hatton, American authors by any chance?

What has he done to deserve being above Bradley? Bradley is the man at 140 now and if Ricky wants his spot then he should call him out.

Hey, I'm not claiming he's the same caliber of Mayweather and Pacquiao. Obviously he's not.

But he gets respect for stepping in the ring with them and giving it his best shot.

If you can't respect that, then you aren't a true boxing fan. Go watch MMA or some ****.

I respect it, hes just lucky he got the shot, because anyone else could fight Floyd and Pacquiao and do a lot better.

Hatton at number 2..and Paulie at 10.

Terrible list.

He ****in demolished paulie wtf do u prefer??

Wow seriously ... getting KO'd by 2 elite fighters on his resume gets him credit?

Who's he really beat recently apart from Paulie which was a good win, can he beat most of the others?, I don't think so.

He won almost every round against Paulie and Urango (two rated fighters), was lineal champ for almost four years, and defended against fairly good opp. He's lost once at 140 to an ATG HOFer. There isn't another guy below him with more top ten wins or a similar resume. He may lose eventually, but division ratings are largely about accomplishment and the Pac loss can't see him drop that low given everything else.

I have to put Lamont peterson in the top 10.

[wXh..]

I stopped reading the article after I didnt see Amir in the top 2.

The real question and arguing point here should be who's gonna step up and fight who? **** all these guys have a TBA for their next fight. People gotta get these guys in the ring together in 2010. LWW could take over as the premier weight since the big players at 147 aren't exactly fighting each other and the stars are pretty inactive (Mosely, Berto, Clottey, Margarito - though not by choice), not fighting others in the division (Mayweather), or experimenting in other divisions (Williams, Quintana, Cintron). The only one fighting frequently against tier opponents is Cotto, but he can only do so much and is even considering retirement this upcoming year. 140 can have a big year if the guys on this list get a few fights against each other.
