    Default Best CURRENT offensive p4p fighters.

    This is my list based on competition, what a guy can do in the ring, how many weapons they have.

    1. Manny Pacquaio- crushing left hand as a hook or a cross. He throws offensive combinations as well as anybody. He still among the best firepower in the world p4p, and to boot he now has a right hook that is devastating. He is the fastest guy on this list.
    2. Miguel Cotto- this guy is the best body puncher in the world, he muscles guys around on the inside, he lands on everyone so far on the outside... he has great timing, he hits physically as hard as anyone I've seen in a long time, its just he doesn't have that snap to his punch, but in terms of bludgeoning force he hits like a mule. Did I mention he hits really hard with both hands, and in combinations?
    3. Joe Calzaghe- he throws so many punches against almost everybody, he throws the largest combinations today, and if he had more power on them I would say he throws better ones than Pacquaio... he is probably the guy on this list for fighting on outside, and using the most of his speed and skill.
    4. Kelly Pavlik- this guy is a punching machine, and though I don't think he has the chin or that one punch KO power everybody brags about I still believe he is accurate, and like Cotto bludgeons guys in a fashion I haven't seen since George Foreman.
    5. Israel Vazquez- this guy hits hard, he doesn't stop, and he never gives up. I don't think he's the best at anything but without a defense he's managed to beat a very skilled guy like Rafael.
    6. Juan Diaz- this guy never stops punching, he has sneaky quick hands. He also has pretty good timing and though he doesn't have a whole lot of power, he sure beats the hell out of guys.
    7. Rafael Marquez- this guy can box, he certainly can hit, and he is very accurate... I think Vazquez has had his number in terms of styles, but he certainly is one of the top offensive fighters right now.
    8. Edwin Valero- this guy punches as hard as anyone in the world, he lands good enough shots, and in his sparring with Morales he shows enough technical skills that I believe he is the real deal.. sort of
    9. David Haye- he doesn't throw a whole slew of punches, but he has great power, good speed, and he lands those hard punches... he kind of reminds me if Lennox in that he is a great athlete, good heigh for his weight division, but he has a suspect chin(though Lennox didn't really). Anyways I think he really proved himself against Mormeck as an offensive force.
    10. Antonio Margarito- I hate to put him on this list because he is so sloppy, but so far he has gotten the job done in terms of offense alone, and he has good power, high punch output, and more importantly he has a great chin that allows for him to go buck wild if he needs to.

    honorable mentions
    Kermit Cintron- power up there with Valero and a lower weight Pacquaio, but he seems to get gun shy in difficult situations, he lacks the balls to be a great offensive fighter.
    Katsidis-hits pretty hard, relentless type guy.
    Ricky Hatton: the best pure pressure fighter IMO, nobody closes faster than him, and when he is allowed to do what he wants on the inside he's a monster.
