The scientific and considered extrapolation of theoretical probability from pugilistic texts - or just pissing about and saying "Barrera" cos it makes you sound cool?
I haven't got a clue really, but here's my current top five (which could change at any second) and - while based heavily on the principles of "making it up as I go along" - doesn't include Floyd. Sure, he LOOKS good, but I look like Muhammad Ali when I'm shadowboxing, you know what I mean? That's far too theoretical for me:
1. James "Lights Out" Toney
This guy doesn't make Top Ten P4P in the Ring? He's got insane skills. What, he has to wait until he proves himself at heavy? I thought that was the entire point of P4P?
2. Marco Antonio Barrera
Who's had this Amigo's level of competition over the last ten years?
3. Manny Pacquaio
Even though he's got a stoppage win over the guy above, his career is still reasonably "in the making". I really wanna see a rematch to determine whether that was just a bad night for Marco or the real thing.
4. Winky Wright
Winky always puts his opponents to sleep... by boring the **** out of them. My God, he's dull. He's good at what he does though, credit where it's due and all that.
5. Ricky Hatton
I swear to God, not a homer choice. I couldn't even stand the little paler until recently, and he IS a bit a dirty. (Zoo fight more so than normal). But you know... the more I see him... the more I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe he IS for real. And I think his style would be the one to beat Floyd, too, so I've gotta have him higher. He's making me a believer.
That's mine. But what say YOU?
many people leave toney off their lists. BUt he should always be included on there. Pound for Pound means best fighters and toney has proven at every and any weight class that he can fight at the highest level. Toney should always be in the top 5 of p4p lists
hmm mab won 3 of his last fights and pacman won 2 lost one.
pacman looked great againts eric but in order for him to take barreras spot mab needs to lose or look bad in his next fight

the pound for pound list is ment to see who is the best overall fighter regardless of weight class. toney, being at hw, is techniclly exempt from the pound for pound rankings. however, when he retires, he will be considered one of the best p4p fighters of all time, bc of all the belts he won in different weight classes. Now, however, he is exempt from the rankings
