“Manny returns to the ring, and Cowboys Stadium, on November 13. He will face Antonio Margarito on HBO pay-per-view.”
3. Paul Williams
Last Month: 3
“Williams always seems to have problems lining up people willing to fight him. He turns to a familiar face as he rematches Sergio Martinez on November 20.”

6. Andre Ward

7. Wladimir Klitschko

“January 29 appears to be Bradley’s next fight. He will be taking on fellow light welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander.”

10. Vitali Klitschko
Last Month: NR
“It’s hard to get good fights in the heavyweight division so to get respect, one needs to bludgeon his opponents. Vitali did just that last month against Shannon Briggs.”
