Future Pound-for-Pound list. (1 year from now)

[RagingTheBull]

1) Manny
2) Floyd if fight before May
3) Sergio
4) Ward
5) Donaire
6) Wladimir
7) Alexander
8) winner of the bantam' tournament
9) Froch/Bute
10) Gamboa

• I am assming that Floyd is gonna fight somebody within a year. If he doesn't, I cut him off from the list.
• I think Ward is gonna win the Super Six/Kessler/Bute. If Froch/Abraham/etc wins it, got be that name number 4.
• Wladimir if he faces Haye and wins. if Haye wins, put Haye up there. If they don't face each others, Wlamidir stays in position number 10, which is actually his spot right now.
• Donaire is gonna beat Montiel IMO.
• Alexander is my choice among the 140lbers.

Rios? Even if he beats Acosta and/or Soto he's nowhere the top10. He needs to beat JMM to become the top Lightweight in order to get a P4P rating. Or move up in weight and become the top 140-pounder. Placing Rios at 11 is contradicting your list as JMM and Khan are both placed above him.

I agree, I'm glad we might get a few clear cut champions in each division.

I think Ward will come out as the dominant SMW (I had Froch losing to Kessler didn't think it was that close and I believe Ward beats both)

Donaire as Bantamweight Champion

Still undecided in the Featherweight division either Lopez or John

And I think Hopkins will beat Pascal (but lose to Dawson) but I don't expect Hopkins to fight Dawson.

I'm glad too. I love it when there's a champion in the division and it's not up for debate about who the top dog is.

This time next year we should have lineal champs in Super-Middle, Junior-Welter, Bantamweight, Featherweight, Light-heavy, Middle, Heavyweight etc.

We should also have a lineal champ at Super-Featherweight as a fight between Fana and Burns is being mooted. They are ranked number 1 and 2 respectively by Ring Magazine.

Ward beats Abraham and Froch beats Johnson. I think Froch beats Ward by SD, or late stoppage. Froch won't let Ward clinch and do all his dirty-work on the inside, head-butting and all. Ward will try but will walk on to hard punches from Froch.

Froch beats Kessler in a rematch - Kessler hasn't been the same since Calzaghe took his soul. Kessler would be inactive for over a year if he doesn't take a tune up fight and we don't know to what extent this eye injury will hamper his boxing ability - he may never return, I hope he does though.

if he was to beat Soto,a Katsidis and Victor Ortiz then i think he would be i with a good shout for the top ten

He'd beat Acosta. Soto would be a good fight. IDK man, not sure I see him beating Katsidis a the moment, Kats has got heart and is powerful, he is one-handed though so perhaps Rios could.

Victor Ortiz beats Brandon Rios in a war, potentially FotY.

...bump...

[SERVILEV]

if pac fights mosley they will bump him down. Mark my words sergio will be number one if pac keeps cherry picking and floyd stays on vacation

not for the rest of pacs career he wont!! Pac fighting name mosley is not a bad thing, and will keep him atop, the name marquez berto cotto any of those names will. Esp mayweather,
but martinez , at that weight there arent many names with star power if any!! Not with the strength to make you p4p king, paul and pavlik was good wins for this, but not enuf!! Move up sergio and fight stiffer comp and win then you got it, move down andwin then you got it. But staying at mw, wont give you the p4p#1 stop.
He diff has the ko of the year, and arguably the foty, maybe
