1. Floyd Mayweather - Welterweight
United States (38 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws, 24KOs)
Mayweather outfoxed Oscar de la Hoya in their Las Vegas super-fight to become a five-weight world champion and now faces Britain's Ricky Hatton in December.
2. Manny Pacquiao - Super featherweight
Philippines (45-3-2, 35KOs)
Pacquiao, who has little regard for belts, forced the great Marco Antonio Barrera into retirement with a demolition job in October. The most exciting fighter on the planet.
3. Juan Manuel Marquez - Super featherweight
Mexico (47-3-1, 35KOs)
Marquez gave a counter-punching masterclass in beating Marco Antonio Barrera in March and outclassed Rocky Juarez in November. A rematch with Pacquiao on the cards?
4. Joe Calzaghe - Super middleweight
Wales (44-0, 32KOs)
Calzaghe looked awesome in beating Mikkel Kessler and claiming the undisputed super middleweight crown. He's now hunting Bernard Hopkins.
5. Bernard Hopkins - Light heavyweight
United States (48-4-1, 32KOs)
Hopkins beat Antonio Tarver on his 175lb debut and followed that with a points victory over Winky Wright. Joe Calzaghe could be next.
6. Ricky Hatton - Light welterweight
England (43-0, 31KOs)
Hatton will get his dream match against Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas in December, perhaps the biggest fight involving a Brit for a generation.

Puerto Rico (30-0, 25KOs)
Former light-welterweight world champion Cotto beat a resurgent Shane Mosley on 9 November and could now meet the winner of Hatton v Mayweather.
8. Winky Wright - Light heavyweight
United States (51-4-1, 25KOs)
Wright dropped a unanimous decision to Bernard Hopkins in July, his first loss in seven years, although many thought it was far closer than that.
9. Israel Vazquez - Super bantamweight
Mexico (42-4, 31KOs)
Vazquez reclaimed his WBC belt from Rafael Marquez in August and may opt for a unification clash instead of a rubber match next.
10. Rafael Marquez - Super bantamweight
Mexico (37-4, 33KOs)
Marquez lost a thrilling rematch to Israel Vazquez in August and in doing so lost his WBC belt. However, still a class act at 122lb.
