Well that’s according to Yahoo Sports. And since they surpassed ESPN in the latter quarter of last year as the premier site for sports, then they must be right. Unfortuantely, we were bored out of our stinking minds as to who was on the list. Bob Arum, Don King are the only promoters we recognize. And frankly, who gives a crock about the rest. The only boxers named on the list were “Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya; Filipino pound-for-pound champ Manny Pacquiao; “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather Jr.; and Bernard Hopkins rounded out the list at number 19. Where’s Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, or George Foreman’s grill? And we can’t believe Harold Lederman was left out because, frankly, HBO Boxing would be no where if it weren’t for Lederman’s moronic scorecards. The list after the jump.
