Mayweather also moved up the weightclasses and continued to dominate but doesn't posses the power Pacquiao does when he moved up in weight. He's just the perfect example of how not to get hit in a sport that focuses on hitting one another.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in the pound-for-pound rankings remind me of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal at how they both remain at #1 and #2 in the world and are way in front of #3 in the rankings...

good explanation there caleoh. :coolclick:

Mayweather has clearly been the best fighter of this decade, and I don't see anything happening in the next year or two to change that.

Good pick on Marquez. Who do u think would win out of him and Linares in say 2009?

---

I think Marquez knocks him out in a good fight

Depends if Pavlik beats Strum, Abraham, Winky and wins a rematch with Taylor again hell unify the whole middle weight division i pick him

The chances of Kelly doing all those things before 2010 is pretty slim.

mr140 you beat me to it, I was about to say the same thing beating those 4 fighters in a time span of 2 years is a pretty tall task for a boxer to accomplish!

Did u mean i beat u to it?

yeah eagle I meant you, its late and I don't know why I'm still up...

IMO Floyd has almost sealed the deal already... He just has to remain undefeated for two more years. A bad lost to Cotto or Mosley could destroy him ,but I think he beats both of them.

Nobody comes close to these two guys , forget how long Calzaghe has been champ he hasnt beaten anyone who would be considered a future great.
PBF and PACMAN its between these two guys , just depends wot happens from here till 2010 :)

The only great PBf beat was a past it Oscar and the only Great Calzaghe beat was a past Eubank and he was a champ for 10 years and beat everything in his division and when he beats Kess he deserves credit i am not saying he is the best but stop bagging on him Dark getting old

And i say that only because in every thread you bash Cal all the time and rip apart his record which you could do with any fighter
