Boxing's pound-for-pound champion is a mythological concept, much like the NCAA college football national championship.
Pound-for-pound is a term used to describe the world's best fighters regardless of weight. Just like the college football rankings, the media selects the pound-for-pound list.
I have compiled the definitive top-10 pound-for-pound list by using a comprehensive blend of complex mathematical formulas, computer generated ratings and human judgment.
(Note: These rankings are — obviously — for entertainment purposes only)
(Rankings updated through Dec. 17)
1. Antonio Margarito (34-4, 24 KOs) — WBO welterweight champion
After defeating Joshua Clottey, a tearful Margarito said he would retire after one more fight if Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Oscar De La Hoya continue to avoid him. Immediately after the announcement, Margarito handed out free shrimp cocktails from El 7 Mares.
2. Chuck Liddell (19-3, 12 KOs) — UFC light heavyweight champion
Oops wrong sport.
3. Emanuel Augustus (34-27-6, 18 KOs) — WBC Continental Americas junior welterweight champion
Augustus becomes the all-time losingest Continental Americas junior welterweight champion with his shutout victory over Russell Stoner Jones.
4. Sergio Mora (19-0, 4 KOs) — Middleweight
Mora may get his "come to Jesus meeting" with middleweight king Jermain Taylor in 2007.
5. Bobby Pacquiao (27-12-3, 12 KOs) — Super featherweight
When asked about his brother's messy business decisions involving Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, Bobby said "It's just Manny being Manny."
6. Nate Campbell (29-5-1, 24 KOs) — Lightweight
"The Galaxxy Warrior" will probably find himself in another IBF title eliminator in 2007. This time it's for the right to call himself a mandatory challenger. How many chances will Campbell get to blow a title shot?
7. Jeff Lacy (22-1, 17 KOs) — Super middleweight
Lacy can take a beating better with one arm than he can with two.
8. Britney Spears — Pop princess
Spears unleashed a wicked attack by knocking out the paparazzi with a waxing crotch shot.
9. Winky Wright (51-3-1, 25 KOs) — Uncrowned middleweight champion
Winky's defense is the Fort Knox of boxing. He has been avoiding punches for over 16 years. The very same way he avoided a rematch with Jermain Taylor.
10. Ron Mexico (7-7) — Nightclub fighter
Ron Mexico mysteriously made the list after my computer contracted some kind of Trojan virus.
MISSING THE CUT
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (37-0, 24 KOs), welterweight champion: According to the computers, the only way Mayweather can make the top 10 is by defeating Oscar De La Hoya and playing in a WNBA game on the same night.
Peter Manfredo Jr. (26-3, 12 KOs), super middleweight: "The Contender" Season 1 loser finally gets to fight for a real championship belt.
Aaron Pryor Jr. (8-0, 6 KOs), middleweight: Does he have what it takes to "mix it up" with the division's best? If Panama Lewis is ever reinstated he just might.
Roy Jones Jr. (50-4, 38 KOs), NABO light heavyweight champion: It doesn't matter what you say Roy. Your career as an elite athlete is over when you appear on "Pros vs. Joes."
Rayo de Jalisco Junior Jr. (63-46), middleweight: The former WWA middleweight wrestling champion is a third generation luchador and he has one hell of a dropkick.
