Oscar hasn't deserved to be in the top ten "YET", Calzaghe should in no way be in front Taylor or Barrera or Bernard Hopkins!
Re: RING MAGAZINE'S POUND FOR POUND #1
Any list that has Margarito in the top 10 is a joke

He's saying Tony doesn't deserve to be on there. And those aren't the ring rankings...these are.
FLOYD MAYWEATHER
WINKY WRIGHT
MANNY PACQUIAO
JERMAIN TAYLOR
BERNARD HOPKINS
MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA
RAFAEL MARQUEZ
RICKY HATTON
JOSE LUIS CASTILLO
JOE CALZAGHE
Virtually the same as mine but Hopkins switched with Calzaghe and then bumped off completely in favor of Arce or someone.
Re: RING MAGAZINE'S POUND FOR POUND #1
Yeah those are the ring rankings, DLH & Toney aren't even close. If Hopkins retires he comes out & I'd put Vic Darchinyan in... he's the best flyweight in the world.

Bernard Hopkins should be #1, no doubt about it.

....How?
Whetther you like it or not, he has lost 2 of his last 3. The guy he just beat probably wasn't top 10 p4p. And he's retired. How does he even crack the top 10?
Re: RING MAGAZINE'S POUND FOR POUND #1
James Toney "Pound for pound" boy thats alot of pounds!!!!

agree, i hope that fight happens...and soon......
Re: RING MAGAZINE'S POUND FOR POUND #1
No way Darchinyan should be there,look how long Arce has been unbeaten and his level of competition has been higher than that of Darchinyans.

It'll be a great fight... but it ain't Darchinyan not making the fight, no way Arce stands up to Vic.
Re: RING MAGAZINE'S POUND FOR POUND #1
vic snaps arce in half and then eats him live on stage.

You mean when arce gets some balls. Vic has been calling him out for ages and arce never mentions him. Ever since arce beat hussein the second time, vic has been calling....and arce hasnt responded. The reason for that could be that arce is a brawler and you come in against vic ready to brawl then your coming in ready to be knocked the fuck out!
