It’s funny, every time you do a ‘pound-for-pound’ list people seem to deluge you with e-mails on just how flawed and unimportant these types of mythical rankings are. Well, if they’re that irrelevant, than why do some of you argue so vehemently with these lists, then?
Stop reading right now if you’re one of those folks who feel that way and don’t waste my bandwidth on your long winded drivel – I get enough of that from residents of Jonestown. These lists are just opinions – which I believe we are all allowed to have – and designed to create and inspire debate as to who the finest fighters are in the contemporary game. Also, it’s a fun way to laud the best boxers of today.
