Juan Manuel Marquez



The Mexican warrior rises again in the rankings despite having not fought since his UD defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr. Up next he faces Juan Diaz in a rematch of their 2009 Fight of the Year. A win there opens up more possibilities for him. He would have an option of fighting Michael Katsidis, however, more likely he may move up to 140 to add to the exciting weightclass already there. A fight with Amir Khan was mooted sometime ago before his trainer, Nacho Beristain, grew unhappy with terms, however he may still fight one of Khan, Tim Bradley or Devon Alexander.

Manny Pacquiao



The Filipino Champion finally drops off the top spot, but not without a fight as the voting was fairly close. Since the last vote following his destruction of Miguel Cotto, Pacquaio has taken on Joshua Clottey on route to a one-sided decision in the Cowboys Stadium. Where he goes next is of course just about the most discussed topic in boxing. Granted he could face disgraced Mexican, Antonio Margarito, or even a rematch with Cotto should he beat Yuri Foreman, however the fight that the world wants to see is the thrilling Pacquiao in with the man who is currently #1 on our list...

Saddo's Pound For Pound #1

Floyd Mayweather Jr



Mayweather takes back the top spot he gave up on retirement following his win over previous #3, Shane Mosley. Despite getting stunned in the 2nd round, the Pretty Boy came back to beat Mosley up on route to a wide decision victory. His next move, as mentioned before, is hopefully a fight with Manny Pacquiao to decide who is the greatest fighter of this era, and possibly push their name into the rarefied atmosphere of the very best of all time. There are other options, such as Martinez or Williams, but what boxing fans really want to see is the current #1 & #2 squaring off. Let's hope that by the next time this vote comes around, they have either fought or getting ready to.

Dawson and Williams are way to high. And it's a disgrace Rafael Marquez is not in there some where

Agreed about Paul Williams. No way should he be at #4.

[0james0]

There are many people I think should be lower, but clearly I am wrong as this was a public vote. Doesn't help that many people (including me) probably only managed a top 10 rather than 20.

I do think that a Klitchsco deserves to be in there, as much as I can't stand the guys, their acomplishments are head and shoulders more than most the guys in out top 10.

I disagree on Dawson, for the simple reason that I think if all things were equal, he'd beat most outside the top 2 & Marquez & maybe Mosley imo. I personally have Williams a fair bit lower as I do also with the likes of Martinez & Hopkins, but its a public vote and to be fair this was the first one we've had where we haven't had anyone looking to influence the result with the placement *cough - the person who had Mayweather below Vic Darchinyan last time out - cough*. Rafa came in at 18th overall, I personally wouldn't disagree with that, I think if he's what he was, then he's definitely top 10, maybe top 5 for me, but I don't feel I got enough in the Vazquez fight to tell me that.

I agree with all of that. In terms of the brothers, Wlad came in at 11th and missed out to Caballero by just 2 points. Just looking at the results I didn't think Caballero would get in, but he got enough lower end points to just edge ahead. Vitali came in extremely low, I'm not sure where exactly, but he'd be lower that Yuri Gamboa, Chris John and Pongsaklek Wonjongkam to name just a few.
