Top 5 fighters in Boxing

[Clubber Pac]

1. Floyd Mayweather.

Of course. Greatest fighter of his generation. Top 3 welterweight ever. Top 3 Jr. Welterweight ever. Pretty much in the top five of any division he ever competed in. He is worth $420 million bones. The richest man in boxing history including promoters. Lost a step, but is still miles ahead of the competition.

2. Canelo

Canelo's schedule is what sets him apart. He has ducked nobody. He has answered all questions, and the Mayweather fight was technically beneficial for the young Superstar. His points victory over EL stands as the most impressive victory of the year. He did not blow him out ovb, but he won the fight against a supremely gifted boxer that nobody wanted to fight. He risked his earning potential to fight a guy that provided minimal financial upside. In fighting to slick boxers within a year, Canelo has shored up his game. He is more seasoned now. There is but 2 boxers on the planet that can beat this kid right now, at this point in his development.

3. Rigo

I hate his style, I do not appreciate his attitude towards his opponents, but the fact is he is one of the best pure boxers we have seen in a long time. Let alone 2014. His schedule seems set to pick up with a loaded 126 pound division. It would be insane to pick against him in any of those fights. Thats why Nonito wants to go to 122 not 126, believe you me.

4. Manny

Manny is winning, and a champion, so it would be ludicrous to keep him out of any top 5, but I will say, what will happen the next time he has to work? What happens the next time he is really pushed? I think he will be tested next month, Manny has trouble with boxers, and I do not recall him every fighting a tall longer fighter. A victory for Manny will do nothing, a victory for Chris will mean everything, and thats the point. Manny is not taking CA seriously, and he is in danger of losing much more than his title of he does not get it together.

5. Benard Hopkins

Unified Light heavyweight champion at 50. Set to fight the scariest man in boxing, a choice he made, it was not a mandate.

GGG- He is a B fighter until he stops fighting them.
Cotto- Both his recent wins are tainted for different reasons
Tim Bradley- Looked real shaky against Manny

Canelo #2? In time, sure. I could even see him assuming the throne at some point, especially with Floyd & Manny on their way out the door.

But now? Why? A lopsided loss against Floyd and a points win over Lara doesn't get you the 2 spot. What are his other signature wins? Besides Lara? Trout? Angulo? A collecting a paycheck at the end of his career Mosley? Cintron? Freaking Matty Hatton? No. At this very moment he's barely top 10, let alone #2 on the planet.

LOL what happens when pac is tested next? pushed?

LMFAO

manny has been tested and pushed more than any current fighter.

underdog, hostile crowd, last minute replacement, coming off ko loss, not making weight, stripped of title, behind on scorecards, rocked on ***** street, getting up after being dropped, bad cut, being fouled, lowblowed, elbowed, headbutt.....so on.

manny has been thru it all.

if/when pac losses, it'll be because he's old, bad style matchup, got caught, opp is better, etc.

it won't be because he was pushed/tested.

Canelo is top 20 for sure.

as much as I respect hops for his longevity he doesn't belong in there. he has too many losses and when he wins its just too damn ugly. he doesn't even so much as win his fights by outpunching his opponent. he fouls and disrupts the other guys rythym mucht like the way john ruiz was able to decision guys more talented than him back in his day

[Clubber Pac]

Andre Ward anyone???

no sorry, Andre Ward is inactive, all talk, he ovb belongs but not right now
