Writer's Note: 'The Following is For Entertainment Purposes Only’

By Alphonso Costello

Boxing’s pound-for-pound champion is a mythological concept much like the NCAA college football national championship. Pound-for-pound is a term used to describe the world’s best fighters regardless of weight. Just like the college football national championship, the media selects the pound-for-pound king.

I have compiled the definitive top-ten pound-for-pound list by using a comprehensive blend of complex mathematical formulas, computer generated ratings and human judgment.

Rankings updated through November 12

1. Zab Judah (35-5, 25 KO’s)

Welterweight

Say hello to the new Ben Tackie.

2. Sergio Mora (19-0-1, 4 KO’s)

Middleweight

Say hello to the new Zab Judah. On second thought Judah has talent and he never ran away from a world title challenge.

3. Rocky “Buffalo Bill” Juarez (27-4, 19 KO’s)

Super Featherweight

His loss to Juan Manuel Marquez was courageous, but lacked focus. And the cut on his left eye was as ugly as the butterfly tattoo on his back.

4. Evan Fields (42-9-2, 27 KO’s)

Heavyweight

There is talk that former world champion Evander Holyfield will play Fields in an autobiographical motion picture called “Death Wish 6: A Requiem for a Heavyweight.”

5. Boone Pultz (25-2, 15 KO’s)

Heavyweight

Back on the job since December 2006, Pultz is 2-1 in his latest comeback bid. The 47-year old former cruiserweight titlist says he won’t rest until he becomes the undisputed heavyweight champion.

6. Siko Bika (24-3-2, 14 KO’s)

Super Middleweight “contender”

His victory over Jaidon Codrington was extremely hilarious. But it’s not a “Fight of the Year” candidate when both fighters are taking helicopter swings at each other.

7. Jose Diaz (14-1, 4 KO’s)

Junior Lightweight

Juan’s baby brother joins a long list of second-rate siblings like Bobby Pacquiao, Jose Cotto, Matthew Hatton and Ozzie Canseco.

8. Kimbo Slice (1-0, 1 KO)

Heavyweight

Slice kayoed Bo Cantrell in his MMA debut on Saturday night. And no the MILF Hunter didn’t work in his corner.

9. Nate Campbell (31-5-1, 25 KO’s)

Lightweight

“The Galaxxy Warrior” believes his next fight will be for the IBF title. But little does he know that this IBF title stands for Incarcerated Boxing Felon.

10. BoxingScene.com

The Proud Provider to FoxSports.com

BoxingScene makes the list by firing 158 writers without severance pay. This ballsy preemptive attack comes just two days before boxing writers were set to join the striking Hollywood writers on the picket lines. The writers were asking for a pay hike and some benefits. Thanks for leaving me on the payroll, Boss. But who’s going to write the 632 predictions for the Hatton-Mayweather fight?
