I put PAC at number 2 based on his performances of the last three years He has fought (and defeated) the
absolute best competition available to him, and he still has a long enough career ahead of him to
improve more, I stand by him as my number 2
Furthermore, I question Cotto at number 5, he’s a great fighter no doubt, but he has not fought
the top tier yet…
Ring knocked Hatton down a rung after the Collazo disaster. Rafael Marquez is their No. 5 now. Which I think makes their list just about right (through 5–I’d put Calzaghe and Castillo both ahead of Hatton, which they don’t).
As for the Boxrec top 5 . . . uh . . . yeah. Arthur Abraham . . . yeah.
yep 19 straight victorys in the last 4 years, that’s almost 5 fights a year,
plus he has defeated Ratanachai Sor Vorapin, Mark Johnson, and Fernando Montiel
he is overlooked because the entire Bantamweight division is overlooked. At his
weight noone can match his power or tactics, his only downfall is he is not blindingly fast.
Arrrrrr, ya got me …I think Gonzalez is on par with Marquez’s power and tactics, definately not in speed though,
I keep Gonzalez on because he is a much more active fighter
