To me, pound for pound means this: in theory, if two guys were at the same weight (adjusted for body proportions as well), then who would win? MAB and Pacman fought at the same weight and pacman demolished him. Therefore, I cannot place MAB above Pac in a p4p list.

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?

Some of you need to start becoming familiar with Rafael Marquez and what he's done over the last oh...5 years.

He has knocked out two great bantamweights in Tim Austin and Mark Johnson, he has knocked out an endless string of top bantam challengers (notables like the tough Pastrana and Ruiz), he has made 6-7 successful defenses of his IBF title, he has won like 15 consecutive fights, etc etc...

Dude has some of the most explosive power in the sport and is liable to change a fight at any time with either hand. He is kill or be killed and its sad that NOBODY else on this thread has even acknowledged him outside of myself.

Yeah Rafael Marquez sucks

Rafael Marquez is great no doubt. His power is crazy and has some good wins at bantamweight but after my top 4 I really have to think about it. He is in my top 10 for sure though.

pacquiao woulda defeated him

[DiegoFuego]

All I know is I saw Silence Mabuza giving him all he could handle until the fight was stopped and Marquez saying, no rematch.

You kidding me? Mabuza hit him with a couple of good left hands....thats about it.

Marquez dropped him like a sack of rocks and cut the **** out of him. Mabuza would get knocked out in a rematch too.
