    Tzyu's the champ.

    Vivian Harris hasn't suffered an embarassing loss and is very proven.

    Arturo Gatti is probably gonna lose a fight sometime soon, but we all know he can be.

    Floyd Mayweather hasn't had an important fight at 140 yet, but he'll be the favorite against Gatti.

    Mitchell was just one notch below Tzyu before he got knocked out, so it is actually a considerable drop.

    Ricky Hatton has to have credit for keepin on in the face of a complacent manager, and for being the first to stop Ray Oliveira.

    Miguel Cotto could easily have Hatton's place.

    Junior Witter just keeps winning. You can't ask for a whole lot more than that. He's like a minitaure Jawaid Khaliq or Kofi Jantuah. Eventually he'll get a title shot, but prolly won't be able to do anything with it.

    Jesse James Leija gets big points for beating Panchito, and an old gatekeeper like himself has to be given credit.

    Demarcus Corley hasn't done anything recently(no, beating an ancient Darryl Tyson doesn't count.) and after he loses to Cotto will probably be dropped altogether.

    Lovemore N'dou may deserve a better rating, and he'll always be tough, but I just don't see an outstanding future for him.

        Floyd beats Zoo and he has enough power for 140. He's by far a better boxer with better defense then anyone in the division

          So why did you earlier rank KT above him! I'm confused?

            I already wrote in another post that I think Floyd is the better but I'll give Zoo his respect as the champ for now since Floyd has only had one fight at the weight

              You seem to forget the experts said the same thing when tyzsu
              fought motor mouth juda.Kostya wouldnt handle his hand speed and
              slick ring craft plus his ko power.WHAT happen kostya killed him with astunning right that wasnt thrown with his full power it was great timing.Alot of people underestimate kostyas boxing
              ability they think he is just apower puncher but when you watch his fights closley just watch his footwoork the angles he throws his punches from youll be amazed.kostya constentlly spars world rated middlewiegths and when they get out of the ring they will tell you he hits just as hard and even harder than most middlewieghts.Please bring on pretty boy it wiil be another big mouth he shuts up...

                LMAO!I agree.I bet Zab Judah gave his close buddy PBF some good advise by telling him to avoid Zoo at all cost.You know,if Zoo didn't shut Zabs big mouth up,Zab would probably still be a top p4p fighter with a pretty record just like PBF has now.

                      Not a bad list, lets face it all the same names really just jumble them up - all I would say is you might as well take Spaddy off the list because he isn't going to be boxing for some time with all his problems.
