European boxers don't get as much love in rankings. Klit should be higher as well as the addition of Froch, Adamek, Vitali (one of them at least).Comment

Good for Cotto. He deserves to be in if Floyd is being dropped out completely.
Great list, except I would drop Bradley out and move up Segura and Ward.
Then I'd put Froch at #9 right below Ward and keep Cotto at #10.Comment

Donaire did more between vic d and montiel than ward's done (especially cuz the win vs kessler is trumped by the vic win and the montiel win. plus donaire has looked FAR FAR FAR FAR more impressive than Ward. Ward has lost a lost of his luster as far as being a totally versatile fighter when he's stepped up the levels of his competition. he hasn't fought all that great from the outside and he hasn't blown out guys he should be murking.You're looking at resume only. That's not what pound 4 pound is about. It's the opinion of who you think are the top 10 fighters in the world.
Ward beat the #1 guy in kessler, that counts for something. That's more than anyone else has done at 168. He's a heavy favorite to beat Abraham next and he's the favorite to win the super six tournament.
Donaire beat Vic but he didn't do much after and yet was ranked #5 and #4 I believe at one point (prior to montiel). Ward is going a similar thing, he beat a top guy and beat a couple decent/good but not great guys since. What the ring, and many others, are doing is placing him in the top 10 based on his wins, his skills, his potential, etc.

I'll say this, I got Ward higher than Cotto pfp wise. Both are undeserving of top 10 pfp.
Cotto hasn't looke impressive in awhileComment

The list is pretty soft, I wouldn't put Cotto in there but whatever 10 could be any number of guys who are in a pack.Comment
