My Best Boxers Pound For Pound At The Moment

2007 was a terrific year for the sport of boxing, a year that brought it back to its glory days with numerous big fights which were great for all fans. My pound for pound list at the moment is rather interesting. It is only of those fighters from the welterweight division upwards though. Not including Diaz or any other fantastic fighters from the lower divisions because I simply do not know enough about them, but intend to watch a lot more of there fights in the upcoming few months.

1. Floyd Mayweather. After his big wins against De La Hoya and Hatton he is going down as a modern day great. And with three more big wins he could be on the all time list.

2. Joe Calzaghe. A fantastic fighter who is still under rated. He has the best work rate out of any boxer in the world, he is a complete fighter who will be fighting Hopkins soon.

3. Manny Pacquaio. I know i said i would not put any fighters under welterweight in it, but i know a little about how good he is.

4. Bernard Hopkins. Looking to upset Calzaghe

5. Kelly Pavlik. Could beat Taylor for a second time in there rematch and then move up to fight in the super middleweight division.

6. Winky Wright. A fantastic and gifted fighter who will bounce back after Hopkins.

7. Mikkel Kessler. Strong and robust, looking to fight Mundine in the near future.

8. Miguel Cotto. After beating Mosley he is a top contender at welterweight looking to fight Mayweather.

9. Vernon Forrest. Easily the best fighter at light middleweight.
