The New Top Ten

Here's an updated list of my top ten favorite active boxers:
1) Yuri Foreman - JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT
2) Roman Greenberg - HEAVYWEIGHT
3) Dmitriy Salita - JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT
4) Hasim Rahman - HEAVYWEIGHT
5) Rocky Juarez - SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT
6) Joshua Clottey - WELTERWEIGHT
7) Lamont Peterson - JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT
8) Andre Berto - WELTERWEIGHT
9) David Haye - HEAVYWEIGHT
10) Carlos Molina - JUNIOR MIDDLEWEIGHT

Formeman just recently fought to a no contest because of a unintentional headbutt. Greenberg hasn't fought since obtaining his first career loss. Salita could be lost in a deep division that features a number of novelties. All three are Jewish. Rahman is on the downside of his career, but is a local guy, and his knockout of Lewis was a moment I'll never forget. I like Juarez's determination. His rematch against Chris John was recently called off. Clottey, residing in the Bronx, was recently robbed out of a decision against Miguel Cotto. A win would have vaulted his career. Peterson was born in DC and is undefeated. I like Berto's skills. He's making his way towards a big fight. I like Haye's swagger. He recently had to pull out of a fight for the Heavyweight title. Molina is a guy who always gives it his all and never makes any excuses.
