#1 Bernard Hopkins - KO wins over DLH and Trinidad cemented his claim as the best Middleweight of his time. Victories over respected champions Keith Holmes and william Joppy makes his resume a lot more impressive.

#2 Floyd Mayweather - Performances againts Corrales and Ndou deserves the # 1 spot but his failure to dominate jose luis castillo gave Hopkins that spot. Soon to be No. 1 if he hurdles any of the ff. Harris, Tzyu, Mitchell and Hatton.

# 3 Erik Morales - Jr Jones, Barrera, Ayala, C. Hernandez, Jesus Chavez, In jin Chi, McCullogh. BIG names and Morales slew them. Victories over PACMAN below or Corrales above defending on performances of #1 and #2 might give morales a chance at the top.

# 4 Emmauel Pacquiao - Easily the Hardest hitter in his weight class plus a blinding speed that seems also unrivaled @ his division. Looks one dimensional againt his 'Victory' againts Marquez. but didnt anybody remember his 2 previous performances againts Barrera & lucero ??

# 5 Juan Manuel Marquez - His classic 'rise from the dead performance' againts PACMAN catapults him to this position. Notable victim : Speedy Gainer and former Champ Manuel Medina.

#6 Winky Wright - Convincing victory over Mosley is enough to land this spot. Also good performance againts vargas that many felt he won

#7 Cory Spinks - Beats mayorga who beat Forrest twice who beat Mosley twice who beat dela Hoya twice who beat Julio Cesar Chavez twice!!

#8 Diego Corrales - Impressive againts the previously undefeated Freitas. he can go up a few spots with a victory againts an Erik Morales or Jose Luis Castillo.

#9 Rafael Marquez - Exactly the opposite of His Brother. Rafael goes for the Kill and initiate exchanges. Notable performances are againts Austin and Johnson.

#10 Jose Luis Castillo - His performance againts Juan Lazcano is pretty hard to ignore. plus his first fight with mayweather attracted many Floyd unbeliever to make an issue out it.
