Following a year of inactivity the flamboyant Floyd Mayweather Jr returned to the ring on September 17 against Victor Ortiz for the WBC welterweight title. Mayweather’s performance was not overly impressive and the sucker punch he nailed Ortiz with, could be argued was unsportsmanlike, but was within the rules and he’s back in business. It is not known who Mayweather will face next but he insists he wants a big fight.

With the removal of Floyd Mayweather due to inactivity Argentina’s Sergio Martinez inherited the No.1 spot in the SecondsOut p4p Ramkings. Sergio impressed so much in 2010 that he was rightly voted Boxer of The year at SecondsOut. The 36 year-old again proved his class back in March when he scored an eighth round tko win over the previously unbeaten Sergiy Dzinziruk.

Some may be surprised by the inclusion IBF/WBO and IBO heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko as a p4p top 10 boxer. He may not be the most exciting heavyweight of his generation and he has been tko’d three times but he is undefeated in six years and beaten every contender put in front of him, soundly.

American Timothy Bradley may not be a massive puncher but he is one of those boxers that does everything well and to good effect. Since relieving Junior Witter of his WBC junior-welterweight crown in May, 2008, the 27 year-old has firmly established himself as the world’s No.1 at 140lbs.
