Manny Pacquiao is my favourite! Absolute class out and out boxer, I'd say the best in the world, and will definately take Mayweathers cocky cap off!

I think mayweather maybe to clever for him and pick him off with his fast hands and great speed and awsome defence. Never the less manny has imense speed too I think mayweather will nock him out in later rounds

Khan vs. Salita Preview
Salita (also born in the Ukraine, now residing in Brooklyn) will be a huge underdog in what is fair to say an extremely long overdue title challenge (remember Salita won the NABA light-welter title way back in August 05 with a 9th round TKO of Shawn Gallegos). Salita is a solid technical boxer, does the fundamentals well and of course is undefeated, but does he posses the tools to dethrone Khan in the champs backyard?

Speed kills and Khan has speed in abundance. This will be a major factor in determining the fight?s outcome. Whether Salita can cope with Khan moving in and out with precise combinations remains to be seen.Khan need to just keep his hands up and not get caught :)

what do you think?

POUND FOR POUND WORLD RANKINGS
POUND-FOR-POUND TOP 10


1. Manny Pacquiao

- Welterweight
Philippines (50-3-2, 38KOs)
Pacquiao destroyed Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas to cement his place at the top of the pound-for-pound tree. Floyd Mayweather should be next, and what a fight that could be.



2. Floyd Mayweather

- Welterweight
United States (40-0, 25KOs)
'Pretty Boy' returned from a 21-month hiatus with a bang, outclassing Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas to raise the prospect of a mouth-watering clash with Manny Pacquiao.



3. Bernard Hopkins

- Light-heavyweight
United States (49 wins, 5 losses, 1 draws, 32KOs)
Hopkins showed he still has plenty to offer with his schooling of the upstart Kelly Pavlik in Atlantic City. Ironically, at the age of 43, he is running out of viable opponents.



4. Shane Mosley

- Welterweight
United States (46-5, 39KOs)
Mosley caused a stunning upset in outclassing Antonio Margarito at the age of 37. Is now calling out Floyd Mayweather, but Manny Pacquiao could get there first.



5. Juan Manuel Marquez

- Lightweight
Mexico (50-5-1, 37KOs)
Marquez was destroyed by the returning Floyd Mayweather in September, but size was clearly a factor. Has very little, if anything, left to prove in the sport.



6. Israel Vazquez

- Super-bantamweight
Mexico (43-4, 31KOs)
Vazquez reclaimed his WBC belt from Rafael Marquez in 2007 and nicked the rubber last March. A relentless fig

7. Miguel Cotto

- Welterweight
Puerto Rico (34-2, 27KOs)
Was demolished by Manny Pacquiao, and the suspicion is he has been damaged goods since his defeat by Antonio Margarito, who was subsequently banned, last year.



8. Paul Williams

- Middleweight
United States (37-1, 27KOs)
Williams beat former world champion Winky Wright in Las Vegas in April on his middleweight debut and now faces undisputed king Kelly Pavlik in December.



9. Ivan Calderon

- Light-flyweight
Puerto Rico (33-0-1, 6KOs)
Calderon beat Rodel Mayol in September, for the second successive fight because of an accidental cut. Still unbeaten, and the toughest little man out there.



10. Juan Manuel Lopez

- Super-bantamweight
Puerto Rico (27-0, 24KOs)
The unbeaten WBO champion has amassed a formidable record and could fight Israel Vazquez if he comes through his fight with Steven Luevano in January.

These top 10 boxers of all time are my chosen lot not only because of their household names but also because of their solid affirmation of their supremacy during the time of their reign as champions

In order

1. Sugar Ray Robinson; 179 W, 19 L, 6 D, 2 NC, 109 KO ? born Walker Smith Jr., May 3, 1921 ? April 12, 1989 made his professional debut on October 4, 1940. Sugar Ray Robinson is admittedly the hands down choice of top boxer of all time and to this date, no one comes close of surpassing or even equaling his achievement as a boxer.




2. Muhhamed Ali; 56 W, 5 L, 37 KO ? born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., January 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. He had an unorthodox style for a heavyweight boxer relying on foot speed and quickness to avoid punches and carried his hands low. Muhammad will come down in boxing history as one of the greatest human being that has fought in the square canvas.







3. Henry Armstrong; 150 W, 21 L, 101 KO ? Henry Jackson Jr., born December 12, 1912 was the only boxer to hold three world championships at the same time. These titles included the Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight crowns. He also defended the Welterweight championship more times than any other fighter.

4. Julio Cesar Chavez; 104 W, 5 L, 2 D, 80 KO ? Julio Cesar Chavez was born on July 12, 1962 in Ciudad Obregon, Mexico. He is the ultimate Mexican champion of all time. He began boxing as an amateur at the 16.

Continued....

5. Joe Louis; 68 W, 3 L, 54 KO ? Joseph Louis Barrow born May 13, 1914?April 12, 1981 nicknamed the Brown Bomber, he is considered to be one of the greatest in boxing history. Among his numerous victories Louis coined two of boxing?s most famous quotes: ?He can run, but he can?t hide? and ?Everyone has a plan until they?ve been hit.?




6. Roy Jones; 49 W, 3 L, 38 KO ? born January 16, 1969. His selection may raise not a few eyebrows as there are a lot of skeptics on the circumstances of his being propelled to championship status. Jones started his rap music career in 2001 with his successful album, titled Round One: The Album and the debut single, ?You all Must?ve Forgot?.




7. Archie Moore; 181 W, 24 L, 9 D, 1 NC, 145 KO ? December 13, 1913 ? December 9, 1998. If only for his impressive and superhuman career record, the Old mongoose could well have been the greatest. His fighting career spanned all four decades and has knocked out more fighters than any of the other great fighters in this top 10 list.




8. Marvin Hagler; 62 W, 3 L, 2 D, 52 KO ? born in Newark, New Jersey, May 23, 1954. Because he felt that he did not receive enough credit for his accomplishments, Hagler legally changed his name to Marvelous Marvin Hagler. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest middleweights of all time. Later in life he moved to Italy, where he made low budget movies.

Continued....

9. Sugar Ray Leonard; 36 W, 3 L, 1 D, 25 KO ? born May 17, 1956. He is an epitome of a scientific fighter and a genius on top of the ring. He can get into the minds of his opponent to inflict the most serious jabs to bring them to submission. One of the most memorable of all is the infamous ?no mas? episode with Roberto Duran.







10. George Foreman; 76 W, 5 L, 68 KO ? born January 05, 1949. This fighter has always been haunted by his own ghost. After his triumphal rise to fame, his crashing defeat in the hands of Ali has left him devastated more on the spirit than on his physical side. He has named all five of his sons George because: ?In this career, you have to prepare for long term brain damage.?

Imense set of boxer's calzaghe 11th without a doubt
