    My Pound 4 Pound Rankings

    1. Floyd Mayweather 34-0 (23 KO's)
    After Making Arturo Gatti look like a "C" fighter, Pretty Boy is the King of the Boxing World right now!

    2. Ronald Wright 49-3 (25 KO's)
    Winky's Dominance of Tito Trinidad, coupled with Bernard Hopkins loss to Jermain Taylor vaults him to the #2 spot.

    3. Bernard Hopkins 46-4-1 (32 KO's)
    Even with his loss to Taylor, given the man has only lost one fight in 12 years, still keeps him close to the top.

    4. Marco Antonio Barrara 60-4 (42 KO's)
    Big wins in 2004 over Erik Morales and Paulie Ayala get him back to the top of the division, but Morales and Manny Pacquiao are looming closely!

    5. Erik Morales 48-2 (34 KO's)
    Coming off a huge win over Pacquiao and a loss to Barrera, he's slated to face Zahir Rahim in LA on September 10.

    6. Manny Pacquiao 39-3-2 (31 KO's)
    Faces Hector Velazquez on September 10 in LA, look for him, Morales and Barrera to be this generation's Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns with mega fights against each other.

    7. Jermain Taylor 24-0 (17 KO's)
    Big win over Bernard Hopkins vaults him into the top 10, but he'll have to win the rematch to get close to the top!

    8. Diego Corrales 40-2 (33 KO's)
    Vicory over Jose Luis Castillo will go down as one of the best fights of all time and the rematch could be even better!

    9. Juan Manual Marquez 44-2-1 (33 KO's)
    Very steady fighter and he's the King of the 126 lb class right now!

    10. Zab Judah 34-2 (25 KO's)
    Has a long awaited bout with Sharmba Mitchell on the horizon and could face the likes of Floyd Mayweather or Shane Mosley in the future.

    I still don't get how Rafael Marquez is left off of peoples lists but JMM makes it. Rafaels resume is 2x more impressive than Juans.

      Rafeal Marquez is a beast. The hardest punching little guy I have seen in my lifetime(Im 23) and he's destroying the top 10 at 118 right right.

      He deserves to be ahead of his older brother no doubt.

        Hatton beat the best fighter in the world and he's not even in the top 10?

          Tszyu was not considered the best fighter in the world he was behind Hopkins and Floyd.

              He was Showtime's #1 for about nine months and he was Boxing Monthly's #1 for about nine months too. He was also the RING Magazine champion at Light-Welter (with Mayweather behind).

                Seriously, Marquez has brutally KOed two great bantams and has pretty much KOed every other guy whos stepped to him. Yet he doesn't get the recognition of his older boring ass brother who's is best known for drawing with Pacquiao and being smoked by Freddie Norwood or whoever that was back in the day. I mean come on now people...

                  anyone who had Kostya Tszyu ranked ahead of Bernard Hopkins and Floyd Mayweather in the p4p list is a no knowledge assclown that needs to get out of this sport as fast as possible.

                    7. Jermain Taylor 24-0 (17 KO's)

                    10. Zab Judah 34-2 (25 KO's)
                    Has a long awaited bout with Sharmba Mitchell on the horizon and could face the likes of Floyd Mayweather or Shane Mosley in the future.
                    Gatti is at best a C fighter, He sucks badly, he has no great wins, his biggest win was like 10 years ago vs Rafael Ruelas, He has losses to stiffs like Ivan Robinson(twice)', Mickey Ward , Angel Manfredy, and he has never beaten a true top contender, he has fought 2 good fighters in Oscar and Mayweather and they both tortured him to death,

                    Mayweather should step up and fight a true upper weight opponent like he said he would when he stepped up in weight ,But he fights the Tony Bruseles, DeMarcus Corleys, Phillip N'Dous and his big fight is overated Arturo Gatti,

                    He beat 2 top notch opponents in J.L Castillo and Chico Corrales and a long long time ago but one fight vs Castillo was a real questionable win, When he was at 130 pounds , he could have fought,Barrera,Morales ,Freitas,Casamayor,Pacquiao, J.M.Marquez, but he claimed he cleared out the division and went up in weight, Morales was calling out Mayweather alot when they were in same division weight and Morales does fight everyone but Mayweather did not go for the fight. He was always calling out Gatti, nobody but Gatti

                    Mayweather is easily top 5 but he needs to step up in level of opponents cause he hasnt fought anyone for a long while, I would put him at best #4 but win a big fight May and ill move you up in P4P ranks

                    You got a Very good P4P list, the only ARGUABLE dispute i had was Floyd
