2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.- Is possibly the most skilled fighter out there, Unbeaten as well. His style will never make him a star as he get's booed in every fight hes in. Isn't that well known to most boxing fans. Fights in November in Grand Rapids Michigan(2)
3. Shane Mosely- Turned in a clean punching display against Oscar De La Hoya. Most people thought he lost the fight but if you look closely enough you will see he was the most effective of the 2. (5)
4. Oscar De La Hoya- Turned in his best career performance in my opinion against Sugar Shane Mosely but clearly did not have the most effective punching. His new style is excellent and he will most likely beat anyone else he faces.(6)
5. Ricardo Mayorga- Put in an excellent performance against Vernon Forrest in their second fight. Although I felt he was outboxed and should have lost. Mayorga is an excellent athlete, with a tricky style. Will be a very hard opponent for anyone. (10)
6. Vernon Forrest- Boxed Beutifully in his last fight with Ricardo Mayorga. Vernon will be back at the top soon as long as he stays away from his Nicuargian Rival. (4)
7. Bernard Hopkins- Hasn't fought anyone worth while since he fought Trinidad. Has sadenly blew any chance he had at another huge payday. All his popularity is near gone and his skills are deteriorating as he ages.(3)
8. Marco Antonio Barrera- Most people have him higher, I feel he is overated. (7)
9. Eric Morales- Very underated fighter who gives 100% everytime he fights.(NR)
10. Kostya Tszyu- Excellent fighter who dominates his weight class (9)
11. Jose Luis Castillo- The Second best lightweight as of now.
12. Zab Judah- Put in an excellent performance in beating Demarcus "Chop Chop" Corely. Is in the rebuilding mode but I predict hell be back into the top 8 fighters by September 2004.
