    Who is the best right now? Timothy Bradley, he is the one that everyone wants a piece of.

    Who has the most upside? Amir Khan, even though he has that knockout loss to Prescott he is still young,he just put on a decent performance against Malignaggi (although i personally think he got hit a little too much) and most importantly he has a terrific team behind him with Freddy Roach and Golden Boy

    Who is the most underrated? Devon Alexander, This kid has the style to make waves in boxing and the tragic but interesting back story to match.

    Who is the most overrated? Tough one, Maybe Marcos Maidana? Yeah he has done a bit but knockouts of unproven young guns such as Cayo and Ortiz.... Isnt that what a gate keeper is supposed to do?

      Pacman is not the 140 ring champ until he beats the linear champ in Bradley.
      Maybe its my old age but i coulda swor Pacman beat a guy named Ricky Hatton at 140 who fought and beat a guy at 140 named Kostya Tszyu, who held all major trickets that these guys a carrying around. Guess the old idea of you gotta beat the man to be the man.... doesnt work any more? i guess fighters just fight random people and can claim to be the man now.

          I agree, but Hatton moved up a division fought some fighters relinquishing his crown, while nobody officially took it from him, he can't be considered the best if he doesn't fight at that weight consistently. Yeah he beat KT in what year was that? 2005, He was also unwilling to fight the top dogs at 140 in Witter, Harris, Bradley, etc. Same thing that happened with PBF at welter weight, difference was PBF fought Baldy.

          How can a WW champ be the light welter weight champ may I ask? Especially when he hasn't held a light welter weight belt since 2007. Sorry but I am not counting the IBO. I mean seriously when was the last time he beat a prize fighter in their prime at 140. If you don't defend your crown you lose IMO. I understand your point, I really do but if you don't give someone a chance to take your crown you lose it that is just how it goes.

          PBF went away for 2 years and he came back and Pacman got his P4P spot, how can Pacman get it he never beat him? I certainly hope you consider PBF the number 1 fighter if that is the case. If not that is very hypocritical.
