Re:Pound for pound list
1) Erik "El Terrible" Morales - My choice for P4P Super Featherweight & Soon to be Light Welter Weight candidate: He has soundly defeated everyone that he has faced & he is totally explosive when pressed. He has 1 loss on a 47 fight record with 34 knock outs. He's won titles in every division as he moves up & he is just a full blown muthafookingmindblowing warrior! Honestly, after I post this list it will be hard for me to decide on who is in the number one slot...but I think that I am sound in my judgement due to the difference in the record & the fact that Erik has faced ruffer opposition & has had more of a "show stopping" track record.
2) Bernard Hopkins - My choice for P4P Middle Weight candidate: In my opinion...nobody...I mean nobody works as hard as Bernard, nobody except Erik Morales. Bernard's middleweight title defense number is as impressive as his age is. Also the fact that he just defeated Oscar by way of a knock out and has only 2 losses on a record of 45 fights aint bad either. It was a hard call to move the man to the number two spot who has been number one in my eye's & heart for so long...but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
3) Floyd Mayweather - My #1 choice for P4P Light Welterweight candidate: This fool is unbelieveable!! He has 32 fights under his trunks & they are all wins...convincing wins. No draws or anything like that...Floyd is awesome. He makes me think of a light version of Ali the way that he moves around the ring. Everyone pretty much looks unskilled compared to him. Time will tell who will unthrone the man...I say either Cotto (if Arum allows) or Morales (if he carries the weight) will be the most likely candidates.
4) Winky Wright - My choice for P4P Light Middle Weight candidate: I say pretty much the same for Winky as I do Mayweather...unbelieveable & technically sound. People say that Winky is boring...he's just that skilled as a boxer. Winky is a trouble spot for everyone in his division & no matter what anyone says...he is the most dodge & feared fighter out there. Again, everyone pretty much looks unskilled compared to him. He really, in my opinion, should have gone for some other opponent besides Mosley after he easily starched him...but I suppose that old "word is bond" deal came into play & who can fault a man for being respectful.
5) Miguel Cotto - My #2 choice for P4P Light Welterweight candidate: Cotto still needs to develop, but he is fast becoming one of my most favorites of all time. He is marvelous in the ring. Good defense, good power, good posture...good everything. But there is some hard seasoned fighters for him to get past...& I am unsure as to whether or not he can do it. Kostya & Mayweather would be his "impossibles", with Sharmba & Hatton being his tuffies but I think that he could do it. He has looked impressive against everyone that he has fought...but they all seem to be a bit...smaller than he is.
6) Kostya Tszyu - My #3 choice for P4P Light Welterweight candidate: By now you should all be seeing a pattern...Light Welter is my favorite spot!! That being said...this man is so good that it's scarey. The beating he gave Judah was impressive & I just can't forget him staggering across the ring waving his gloving looking so stoopified. Kostya is the second best fighter of his division...the best in my opinion being Mayweather or Cotto (snapping @ each other's necks for #1). I think that he will defeat Sharmba & go to Mayweather next...I hope not Cotto...because...well...like I said, Cotto still needs to develop...although he is one of my most favorites of all time.
7) Vitali Klitschko - My choice for P4P Heavy Weight: Yeah, yeah, I know everyone is going to shat a kidney over this...but it's my list & I base my list on the current best & my favorite fighters...that being said...Vitali has never been KO'd or even knocked down to the canvas. His only losses come from stoppages, he retired Lewis, and he is the best heavy weight out there right now...P4P. So bitch on my chaps...bitch on!!
Jeff Lacy - My choice for #1 P4P Super Middle Weight: What the fook can I say...he's very impressive for an early starter. He's taken on tuff sound opposition & out of his 17 wins, 14 of them are knock outs. I think that there is a lot more to come of this cat and I think that he can take out everyone in his division...as much as I hate to say it...even Eastman & Calzaghe, who were my favs @ this weight.
9) Manny Pacquiao - My choice for P4P Feather Weight candidate: Another impressive upstart. He has an impressive record against good opposition and he worked Barrera's ass off before stopping him. Same goes for the JMM fight...and these were two of the best in that weight class at the time. I think that once he get's to Morales...all roads will end...that being said if Morales can get back to the weight limit & if Pac can make it past a more determined Marquez this time.
10) Jermain Taylor - My 2nd choice for P4P Super Middle Weight candidate: Come get some muthafookahz!! I know everyone is shatting themselves now that I have him on my list...but Taylor is another fighter that still needs to develop and is fast becoming one of my favorites. Like Cotto he is sound in the ring and has lots of skill and power...but...BUT...everyone that he fights is smaller than he is. We will see how fast he moves up after the Joppy fight.
This list is probably going to seem wack to many of you readers...but hey...it's my list & it is who I consider the best out of the weights that interest me. Atleast I don't have Tarver on here...but then...I don't like him anyways...so why should he be on my P4P fav list?
