Pound for pound: Top 10s of Fischer, Rosenthal
By RingTV.com Editors
Doug Fischer and Michael Rosenthal, Co-Editors of RingTV.com, agree that a combination of ability and achievements -– with heavy emphasis on quality of opposition –- is the best means of determining the No. 1 fighter on the planet regardless of weight.
In that spirit, Fischer and Rosenthal that give us their Top 10 lists in the installment of what their will be a monthly feature on the Web site.
For Doug Fischer’s Top 10
1. Manny Pacquiao: Fighter of the decade proved mettle by going 5-1-1 against fellow future hall of famers Marquez, Barrera and Morales.
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.:Boxing’s best blend of talent, skill and technique is undefeated over 14 years. Toughest foe may be himself.
3. Juan Manuel Marquez: 37-year-old lightweight champ is last man to give Pacquiao a fight. Only decisive loss was to Mayweather in a welterweight bout.
4. Wladimir Klitschko: Heavyweight champ, on 13-bout win streak, has completely dominated his division for last four years.
5. Vitali Klitschko: 39-year-old former champ is every bit as dominant as younger brother.
6. Paul Williams: Former welterweight titleholder has been a contender in three divisions. Nov. 20 rematch with Martinez is proof he seeks challenges.
7. Sergio Martinez: Middleweight champ is 1-1-1 in his last three bouts but most thought he beat Kermit Cintron and some believe he deserved the nod against Williams. Title-winning fight with Kelly Pavlik and rematch with Williams proof Martinez relishes a challenge.
8. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam: Flyweight champ has lost once in his last 69 bouts. Majority decision over Kameda in March clinched future Hall of Fame induction.
9. Fernando Montiel:Talented three-division beltholder is unbeaten in last 11 bouts, including impressive stoppage of Hasegawa in a title-unification bout.
10. Tomasz Adamek: Former cruiserweight champ, now rated at heavyweight, has won 11 bouts since his only loss, a decision to Dawson at light heavyweight. Veteran has been a contender in boxing’s three heaviest weight classes, which is very rare.
