Pound 4 Pound

	FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR
THE KING IS BACK!!! Although he took a 21 month hiatus from the sport, In our opinion there isn't a fighter on the planet with the kind of skill set of the pretty boy and his performance against a tough opponent in Juan Manuel Marquez was enough for him to retake his spot as Boxing's Pound 4 Pound king.
UPCOMING BOUT: SHANE MOSELY
Welterweight
	mANNY PACQUIAO
Many will disagree with our decision to take Floyd over Manny and Pacquiao will still be seen at the top of most people's P4P list, but the choice I made was due to my belief that Floyd is slightly a better overall fighter. Manny has had a fantastic couple of years with wins over the likes of Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez and Miguel Cotto which has made this decision more than difficult, with a potential super fight with Mayweather down the line, hopefully the ranking will be settled once and for all.
UPCOMING BOUT: JOSHUA CLOTTEY
Light Welterweight
	JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ
Juan Manuel Marquez suffered at the hands of Mayweather Jr but I don't believe that to be enough to drop Marquez from the our top three. His great stoppage wins over former world champions Joel Casamayor and Juan Diaz are enough to keep the Mexican from falling down the list.
UPCOMING BOUT: N/A
Lightweight
	MIGUEL COTTO
Miguel was on a the short end of a beatdown against Manny Pacquiao but showed a warriors heart throughout, I still have him high on my list because I believe he deserves the place from previous victories. Look for a strong comeback from Miguel in 2010 which could potentially be his last year in the sport.
UPCOMING BOUT: N/A
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT
	BERNARD HOPKINS
The way things are going I am convinced you will still be seeing Hopkins here until he is fifty years old, I'm joking of course but what is no joke is Hopkins the fighter. He seems to be getting better with age and his last outing proved this with a great victory over Kelly Pavlik. The only problem now seems to be viable opponents.
UPCOMING BOUT: ROY JONES JNR
SUPER BANTAMWEIGHT
	ISRaeL VASQUEZ
The wars against Raul Marquez have definitely taken their toll on Israel and as a result of the surgery he has had to have to clear some scar tissue and recuperate from cuts etc as kept him out of the ring for over a year. Look for Israel to come back strong in 2010 with a possible match up with either Juan Manuel Lopez or even a fourth match up with Raul Marquez.
UPCOMING BOUT: N/A
WELTERWEIGHT
	SHANE MOSELY
Sugar's form over the last four years have been truly stunning which as seen him beat the likes of Fernando Vargas (twice), the always awkward Luis Collazo, the wild man from Nicaragua Ricardo Mayorga and of course his master piece in the stoppage of Antonio Margarito. Many have Shane higher on their list and a good win over Mayweather will push him a little further on ours.
UPCOMING BOUT: FLOYD MAYWEATHER JNR
WELTERWEIGHT
	JUAN MANUEL LOPEZ
Juanma is one of if not THE best young fighters in boxing at the moment and has been red hot throughout 2008/2009. The unbeaten WBO champion already boasts wins over former world champion Daniel Ponce De Leon and Gerry Penalosa and at the age of just 26 is scary to think about this fighters potential. A match up in 2010/2011 against Israel Vasquez is supposedly on the cards which should make for an absolute great fight. Look for Lopez to make strides in the P4P ranking in the next couple of years.
UPCOMING BOUT: N/A
Super bantamweight
	EDWIN VALERO
His performance against Antonio DeMarco was enough for me to put the Venezualan Phenom in my Top 10 list. I know that many of boxing insiders have gone for other options but Valero showed the world on Saturday that he is not only a tremendous puncher but a fighter who can outbox the very best his division as to offer. Look for Edwin to take Giant steps throughout this list as I envisage a brilliant 2010.
UPCOMING BOUT: N/A
LIGHTWEIGHT
	CHAD DAWSON
Bad Chad is currently in the process of clearing up the Light Heavyweight division which has seen him already beat the likes of former ruler Antonio Tarver, Glencoffe Johnson and Thomasz Adamek. The only problem now lies with the competition left or lack of it. Chad has beaten the best the division as to offer so where does he go from here?
