naa just kiddin
rob mcraken no.8 at middleweight.froch's trainer must'v been a decent fighter.
in hindsight i bet hamed wishes he fought mayweather
In addition, Shane Mosley was tops at lightweight and # 4 on the overall P4P list with Floyd, the tops a t junir lightweight, just # 8 behind P4P top notcher of the time, Oscar de la Hoya who was also tops at welterweights.
Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera were at # 2 and # 3 in the junior featherweights.
Marquez was only # 6 at featherweights topped by Naseem Hamed. .
Well everything is hindsight now but the Ring also had some spot on as Bernard Hopkins topping the middleweights.
One thing is certin: greatness cannot be denied the likes of Pacquiao, Mayweather and Marquez.
Imagine Manny pac vs Ricardo Lopez at the time @ shock ip the world mccracken was a class fighter but he was followed by a gang of football holighans who would start. Rioting and no promoter would touch him .you can look it up on youtube.
ODLH at #1 ...? Wow.... I see the Ring Magazine rankings were as bad then as it is now.
