LMAo at Floyd and Pac over Cotto and Margarito at WW

[shadeyfizzle]

Did it say what the criteria for making the list was???

Some fighters are at the top or near the top of a division for the decade having only fought in that division once or twice

[o0P4PBOXING0o]

Pacquiao is top 4 on 5 of the lists.

6 if you include the p4p list.

very funny indeed.

LMAo at Floyd and Pac over Cotto and Margarito at WW

there's a lot i dont agree with. Although considering Pac has beaten cotto,clottey, & oscar all in dominating fashion it might be somewhat acceptable. I guess ring magazine's panel rate badomir & judah as highly rated wins for floyd along with marquez & hatton. i dont.

Some fighters wins were great enough to warrant mention. Pacquiao fighting once at 140 by beating hatton in spectacular fashion along with his cache as p4p 1# had something to do it.

Corrie Sanders should be in HW!!

[jameshepenstall]

David Haye above Adamek? WTF?
