" That's the way the fight game is now. With the lack of talent, right now an average guy can become great in boxing. And if your beyond average, then you can stand out and glide a long time." I hate to say it but there is a lot of truth in what BH said. The promoters in the States need to start putting some money into the amateur programs across the country. I remember when the golden gloves use to be front page news in my home town of Memphis Tenn. not now.

Chris Eubank, Mikkel Kessler, Jeff Lacy do ur research before u say stupid things. ‘Just how great can we regard the recently retired (undefeated) Joe Calzaghe, when his most significant career wins, came against two fighters way past their peak (Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jnr)?’

This is BS.. Pretty Boy "looks" great and outstanding in the ring only because he fights the inferior boxers. Let us see him do his dancing with great welterweights like Cotto and Mosley. Mayweather a P4P King?? Bul@%$*!! Nobody can say Mayweather is the most talented. This is BS.. Pretty Boy “looks” great and outstanding in the ring only because he fights the inferior boxers.

MMA does not have a bunch of chickens like Mayweather. They have real fighters that will jump an the chance to fight any other fighter and if you don't belive that MMA takes a hell of a lot more skill and conditioning than boxing give it a try.

It would be easier to see who is the best in each respective weight division and would be harder for fighters who don'tdeserve to be in the top ten to get into them. What would be even better is if when the big four did this they hired an independent outside organisation, such as boxrec, to conduct thess rankings for them.
