I think being a boxing promoter is such a fun occupation – especially the matchmaking. If I were a boxing promoter, I would not only try to match the best against the best, but I would also put together fights between fighters who are entertaining, but not necessarily the best, pound-for-pound or even the best at their optimal weights.
Here is my current, top-ten pound-for-pound list in the sport of boxing…
#1. Floyd Mayweather Junior – 47-0-0 (26 knockouts). He’s currently the lineal welterweight champion, he holds 2 of the ‘big four’ world title belts at welterweight – the WBA ‘Super’ world title and WBC title, and he is undefeated and has recently held the championship and WBA/WBC world titles at 154 pounds (superwelterweight/junior-middleweight), simultaneously with the welterweight titles and lineal championship.
Even though there is exactly one month left in 2013, I think tonight is the right time to give serious consideration to the person who should be recognized as the fighter of the year for 2013.
