The top ten pound for pound rakings is at often times very hard to rank. A lot of it has to do to the simple fact that the pound for pound list is based on the writer?s very own opinion. For the past 5 years or so, it has been Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao at the very top of the pound for pound list. If one favors the boxer, then Floyd is your guy, if one favors the fighter, then Pacquiao is your guy. It all depends on which fighting style you prefer. Since we live in a world of change, I often catch myself looking into the future wondering as to how the pound for pound list will look like once Floyd and Manny exit the sport. So today, I attempt to do just that, I look deep into my crystal ball and fast forward into the year 2015. So check it out as we enter the future, see if one of your favorite fighters made the list.
