Broner.
Alvarez beat Rhodes and Cintron, his only wins worth mentioning. Rhodes was an ehhh fighter really, and Cintron was coming off a one sided loss.
Broner beat Ponce, Litzau, Perez, and Escobedo. Ponce could have gone either way, Litzau was coming off beating Caballero, Perez was his mandatory and was in the Top 10 too, and Escobedo was an ehhhh fighter at best.
It would easily have been Broner if Ricky Burns would have fought him last fall, and Broner will be fighting DeMarco now too.
I just feel Broner should get a little more credit for taking a big step up against Ponce at 21, in a close fight. It was no robbery, it could have gone either way really. Ponce landed more punches, Broner landed the cleaner punches. Ponce won the early rounds, Broner the middle rounds, and no one really stood out in the late rounds. Than, Litzau and Perez were both at least in the Top 10 at 130, and Broner dominated them easily.
