POUND-FOR-POUND TOP 10
|
United States (35 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws, 24KOs)
Unbeaten at super feather and lightweight, Mayweather destroyed Arturo Gatti to win the WBC light welterweight crown. That win combined with Bernard Hopkins' loss puts him at the top of the tree.
|
Mexico (61-4, 42KOs)
Dispelled any suggestion he was a spent force by beating Morales in the third instalment of their cracking trilogy. Battle-scarred at 31, he remains a force to be reckoned with and a huge draw.
|
United States (49-3, 25KOs)
Exploded out of the shadows by beating Shane Mosley at light middleweight and put on a southpaw masterclass, stepping up to outbox Felix Trinidad.
|
Philippines (41-3-2, 33KOs)
Pacquiao was brave in defeat to Erik Morales in 2005. But he gained superb revenge in January, becoming the first man to stop the Mexican.
|
England (40-0, 30KOs)
The "Hitman" got cut but then cut down WBA champion Carlos Maussa. A mouthwatering showdown with Mayweather could follow in 2006.
|
Wales (41-0, 31KOs)
Calzaghe gave one of the greatest displays by a British boxer in beating Jeff Lacy and the Welshman now has the world at his feet.
|
United States (25-0, 17KOs)
Taylor claimed the biggest scalp in boxing when he won a split decision over Hopkins and backed that up with a less controversial win in the rematch.
|
Mexico (53-7-1, 47KOs)
Exacted speedy revenge on Diego Corrales and seems set to move up to the power-packed light welterweight division.
|
United States (24-3, 18KOs)
Victories over Roy Jones Jr and Glen Johnson enhanced his reputation and earned him a place at the top table of boxing.
|
Mexico (35-3, 31KOs)
Marquez has held the IBF belt since 2003 and in his six title defences have shown he can box or bang his way to victory.

POUND-FOR-POUND TOP 10
|
Manchester (40-0, 30KOs)
The best of British at the moment. The IBF champion shrugged off two nasty cuts to knockout WBA holder Carlos Maussa. Now he says he is going after the biggest name around - Floyd Mayweather.
|
Newbridge (41-0, 31KOs)
Now undisputed king at 168lb, Calzaghe gave one of the greatest displays by a British boxer in beating Jeff Lacy and the Welshman now has the world at his feet.
|
Glasgow (25-2-2, 14KOs)
Harrison put behind him the disappointment of a poor draw with Victor Polo with a good win over Michael Brodie and a solid display against Australian Nedal Hussein.
|
Sheffield (38-3-1, 23KOs)
Woods looked convincing in his first world title defence and is now chasing former undisputed champion Antonio Tarver.
|
Bradford (33-1-2, 19KOs)
Witter was poor in beating Colin Lynes. Nevertheless, he is just one fight away from challenging WBC champion Floyd Mayweather.
|
Sheffield (45-12-2, 29KOs)
Now 39, WBO champion Nelson may retire after pulling out of his scheduled clash with Enzo Maccarinelli with damaged knee ligaments.
|
Dagenham (26-0, 15KOs)
Cook defied a nasty cut in defending his European crown against Ukrainian Yuri Voronin and remains on course for a world title shot.
|
Nottingham (18-0, 14KOs)
Looked laboured in his last Commonwealth title defence and is in need of a new challenge. Could challenge for the European title later this year.
|
London (15-1, 15KOs)
Haye won the European crown in only his 16th fight with a one-round demolition of Alexander Gurov and is targeting a world-title shot in 2006.
|
Edinburgh (21-1, 17KOs)
Arthur has done a good rebuilding job since losing to Michael Gomez in 2003 and cannot be too far away from a world-title shot.
