1: Bernard Hopkins; The best Middleweight in the world since 1994. World Champ since victory over Trinidad; and with the win over DLH establishes himself in the top 10 Middleweights of all time.

2: Erik Morales; Amazing numbers, who seems to be at the peak of his powers. Has an uncanny knack of rebounding from perceived poor performances with a superb one, as the teat tough Hernandez recently found out.

3: Floyd Mayweather; The most talented individual in boxing at the moment. And now he is a 140lber, he has the opposition to show he can top this list in due course.

4: Ronald Wright; Never liked him, always underrated him, but finally clocked on to what a superb fighter he was, after the masterful job he did on Mosley.

5: Antonio Tarver; unfortunately because he turned pro late, we perhaps will never find out how good he could have been. But the two performances against RJJ, showed glimpses of what great skills he processes.

6: Kostya Tszyu; A world class fighter for over a decade; has proven time again he is the #1 fighter in one boxings best divisions. But with the Cottos, Hatton’s and Mayweathers snapping at his heels, time will tell if he still has it, and that’s only if he manages to beat Mitchell again! What a division.

7: Oscar de la Hoya; Perhaps we will never see him in a ring again, but while he still has not officially retired, the great man deserves a place on this list.

8: Manny Pacquiao; although I believe Marquez is probably better. Pacquiaos resume is far more impressive, so he gets the slot on the list.

9: Cory Spinks; Just continues to improve with every fight. Does not have anything great, but has no big weaknesses.

10: James Toney; although I believe he will get blown away when if he faces any of the so called ‘Super’ Heavyweights around today. Pound for pound he still deserves a place on this list. Has been world class since 1991, and has met in that time virtually everyone that matters. And victories over Holyfield and Jirov, show Toney can still put the lights out on decent opposition.
