Floyd tops boxing poll

By Dave Doyle

The top boxing pundits in the world have spoken: Floyd Mayweather is a near-unanimous pick for best in the world. Eighteen of 20 poll respondents picked Floyd first in this month's Y! Sports Top 10 poll.

But of course, reporters' opinions aren't the only ones that matter. So this is the chance for you, the boxing fan, to tell us if you think Floyd is the best boxer in the world. And if you're up for it, give us your own pound-for-pound Top 10 list while you're at it.

    I admit that Floyd is a great fighter, but I believe that he only fights opponents that he KNOWS that he can beat. Many folks thought that a way past his prime DeLaHoya deserved the decision. In order to gain the respect of many like myself, I think he needs to step up his comp. Sure, Hatton is good, but too small and too slow and yes, sorry Mr. Grahm , one dimensional. In my opinion he needs to square off with the likes of
    Cotto, Margarito, Mosley ( Just as quick and a lot stronger) Williams and Cintron, not necessarily in that order.
    I also think that Joe Cortez (MR. FAIR BUT FIRM) ought to be ashamed of himself for his performance on Saturday. If i didn't know any better, I would have thought he was wearing a Mayweather T shirt under his uniform. Floyd, Please give the world a reason to like you!!!!!!

    I like some of these choices on here but the one I come close to really feelin is YOHANES top 10 at post#16 but also would not sleep on MAYORGA,he is started to get my attention now and I think he is going to start to put it on harder on these cats,keep watching.

    i think manny pacquiao is number 1, he fought all the best of his weight class. hatton was an overrated undefeated boxer that fought nobody, and oscar is on his wayyyy down, and floyd barely beat him. it's pac-man, floyd and cotto, my top 3. calzaghe is also overrated as well
