If one entered the last two weekends with Terence Crawford and Vasyl Lomachenko as their leaders in the field of mythological wonders where all fighters might compete at the same size, nothing happened against Amir Khan or Anthony Crolla, respectively, to change that.

They did what they were supposed to do. So did Errol Spence in his fight with Mikey Garcia. He was supposed to win but he did so in such demonstrative fashion that it does get him a bump up from the nine slot.

Keep an eye on the next couple months as Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Saul Alvarez, and Naoya Inoue will all be in action. There could be movement afoot.

For now, feel free to agree, disagree, and debate away.
