I'm ultra surprised you have Shane and Kessler there though! I took winky out of my list.
I think Kessler losing is truly about how good Calzaghe is, and that Kessler deserves a top ten spot more than Pavlik because if they fought he would give Pavlik an absolute lesson. Also Shane ko'ed Vargas, beat Collazo(who gave Hatton the fight of his career) by a large margin, then fought a very close fight with an undefeated Cotto. Vazquez switch with Marquez then put Marquez in Kessler's spot, but they've both lost plenty of times, and by ko at that so I don't see why they deserve to be placed higher than great fighters like Kessler and Mosley.

As for Winky Wright, I think he got robbed against Hopkins, I don't think he won the fight, but it was really really close, like Barrera-JMM, I feel that Winky has never been given enough credit by the judges because of his style. However, Winky was blocking most of Bernard's punches, and he was getting some good work done on the inside, along with landing that jab as the fight got later. If he moves down to middleweight again I would like his chances against Pavlik, along with anyone else he could fight.
