I do, but I have to find it. I just got those polls from the 2001 Year End Issue with B-Hop on the cover.

[Sweet Pea Pacquiao]

thanks.

[digiram]

Can this be stickied. Excellent reference. Thanks Erratic.

[Mind Reader]

awesome... thanks dude!

[Rock0052]

This should stay at the top of the boards, thanks man!

[KO Boxing]

Wow, Roy was in the pound for pound list before he even fought for his first world title!

That tells you something...

[Minotauro]

Hagler and Jones have been number one 4 times and Chavez has been number one on three occasions. Shows how highly regarded they were during their respective primes.

[somerset]

Funny how most of the Brits only appeared in the lists once they started fighting in Vegas :yep

[Rumsfeld]

I remember when Hagler reigned supreme....good times.

The Ring actually forgot to put Barrera on the list at first. They showed the lists of all the people in the poll, and they had Barrera, but they forgot to put Barrera on the results.
