1. Floyd Mayweather - Former junior lightweight champion, former lightweight champion, former junior welterweight champion and current IBF welterweight champion. Floyd Mayweather is one of the most naturally gifted fighters in the game. Since moving up to the welterweight division, he destroyed Sharmba Mitchell and dominated Zab Judah to capture the IBF welterweight title. Mayweather has a November 4 fight date, no opponent has been announced.
Biggest wins: Diego Corrales TKO 8, Genaro Hernandez TKO 8, Zab Judah Win 12

2. Winky Wright - Former undisputed junior middleweight champion. After besting Shane Mosley twice and dominating Felix Trinidad, Wright is looking to take his superstar status to next level by fighting only at the highest level. Decisioned Sam Soliman in his last outing. Fighting to a draw with undisputed middleweight champion raised his stature as many think he won the fight. No word on future fight plans at the moment.

Biggest wins: Shane Mosley 1 Win 12, Shane Molsey 2 Win 12, Felix Trinidad Win 12

3. Manny Pacquiao - Former two-time champion. Pacquiao put his name on the map with a dominating knockout of Marco Antonio Barrera. He tried to follow up his win over Barrera by facing every big name within his division. A disputed draw with Juan Manuel Marquez and a close decision loss to Erik Morales only made him more popular. The destruction of Erik Morales in their rematch has made in a superstar in America, and a bigger force on the pound for pound scale. A trilogy meeting Erik Morales is scheduled for November 18.

Biggest wins: Marco Antonio Barrera TKO 11, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba KO 6, Erik Morales II TKO 10

4. Rafael Marquez - Current bantamweight champion. After cleaning out the competition by stopping both Mark Johnson and Tim Austin, Marquez has not been involved in a big fight since February of 2003. A recent win over undefeated Silence Mabuza showcased the enormous talent of Marquez. No longer in his brother's shadow and gaining recognition as the real star of the family. Inactivity against top level competition has hurt Marquez's standing among the pound for pound best. A rematch with Silence Mabuza is next.

Biggest wins: Mark Johnson TKO 8, Tim Austin TKO 8

5. Marco Antonio Barrera - Triple division champion, picking up titles at 122, 126 and 130 pounds. The current holder of the WBC super featherweight title. Barrera was very lackluster in his recent performance over Rocky Juarez. Barrera faded during the course of the Juarez bout and was very lucky to walk away with a split-decision win. A rematch with Juarez has already been scheduled for September 16 to settle the score.

Biggest wins: Erik Morales III MD, Kennedy McKinney TKO 12, Naseem Hamed Win 12

6. Joe Calzaghe - The WBO super middleweight champion for over 8 years, Calzaghe has built up his reputation in overseas by fighting all comers. He silenced the critics with a one-sided demolition of undefeated Jeff Lacy to pick up the IBF/IBO versions of the super middleweight title. After 18 successful title defenses and 41 consecutive victories, Calzaghe won his signature bout with Lacy and is ready for bigger things. Calzaghe suffered an injury before he could make his July debut on HBO, he hopes to return before the end of the year.

Biggest wins: Chris Eubank UD 12, Charles Brewer UD 12, Jeff Lacy UD 12

7. Ricky Hatton - Vacated his WBC and WBA junior welterweight titles to move up and challenge WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo in the first of many major bouts on American soil. Collazo, seen by the Hatton camp as the safest welterweight test among the 4 reigning champions, took Hatton to the limit and almost pulled off the upset. Hatton was able to squeak by Collazo to capture welterweight gold, but the decision could have gone either way. Hatton is currently scheduled to face Oktay Urkal in first defense of his crown on December 9.

Biggest wins: Kostya Tszyu TKO 11, Carlos Maussa KO 9, Ben Tackie UD

9. Jermain Taylor - The young Olympian from Arkansas is finally coming into his own. Current WBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion. Taylor became an overnight star after dethroning Bernard Hopkins - who was undefeated for 12 years, and held the middleweight championship for 10 years. Fought Winky Wright to a draw in June, and is scheduled to face Contender winner Sergio Mora in his next fight.

Biggest wins: Bernard Hopkins SD 12, Bernard Hopkins UD, William Joppy UD

8. Jose Luis Castillo - Former WBC lightweight champion. After being stopped in a fight of the year thriller against Diego Corrales, Castillo gained a measure of revenge by knocking Corrales out in the rematch. Due to Castillo's inability to make weight for the Corrales rematch, he was unable to become a 3 time lightweight champion. After being unable to make weight for his fight with Corrales and legal problems pending as a result of lawsuits due to the cancellation of the event, the return of Castillo could be a long time away.

Biggest wins: Diego Corrales KO 4, Stevie Johnston MD 12, Joel Casamayor SD 12

10. Diego Corrales - Former junior lightweight champion and current WBO and WBC lightweight champion. Corrales has beaten the best of his division in three out of his last four fights by gaining a points win over Joel Casamayor and stopping Acelino Freitas and Jose Luis Castillo. The fight with Castillo made Corrales a superstar due to the brutality and drama of the bout. After being knocked out in his rematch with Castillo, Corrales was unable to get revenge when Castillo did not make weight for their trilogy bout. Corrales has lined up another trilogy meeting when he squares off with Joel Casamayor in October.

Biggest wins: Roberto Garcia TKO 7, Acelino Freitas TKO 10, Jose Luis Castillo TKO 10

Hatton was in Barrera's entourage last night.

thats a prity good list i think that hatton maby should be higher.

Joe should be lower

Pac above Winky.......and get Taylor off the list, he's not p4p material. He's just feasting on smaller men and will be found out.

Taylor deserves a spot until he loses, he beat the Middleweight king Hopkins and hasnt lost since so until he loses he should be there imo

I thought Hopkins beat Taylor. And frankly him struggling with old man Hopkins shows he's not p4p material. Their is nothing special about the kid, he's crude as hell. At the moment he's getting by on size and good athleticism. His actual boxing skills are severly lacking. Just wait until he steps up a weight soon and has to fight men his own size, then all will be revealed.

Jermaine taylor beat the original p4p king (twice).
i think he deserves to stay there
