Who are the 5 best boxers as of right now (2013)

[epu]

I'll probably get dumped on, but I was a huge Pacquio fan. I'm also a Mayweather fan.

If you were to put together a list of the 5 best boxers in the world right now, who would they be? Does weight class matter to you (everyone of my friends think bigger is better)? Don't just list them, but say why.

Just curious to know what other people think.

P4P? Here are my top five:

1) Floyd Mayweather
2) Andre Ward
3) Wladimir Klitschko
4) Manny Pacquiao
5) Juan Manuel Marquez


P.S. I can already hear the screams about my having Pac B4 JMM.

4) Pac
5) Klitchkos

Mayweather, Marquez, Ward, Rigondeaux, Hopkins.

Wow. Most of your choices are small guys (5'7 and under). Not criticizing. It just seems like the Buster Douglas or even Mike Tyson types are not on everyone's favorite list these days.

[Bigg Rigg]

1) Andre Ward
2) Floyd
3) JMM
4) Pac
5) Klitchkos

There's no way Floyd can be behind Ward

Mayweather, Marquez, Rigondeaux, Ward, and Wlad(not in order) deserve that recognition. Marquez might lose his spot against Bradley, but right now he deserves it. The others are no brainers with all the turmoil besides them.

1) Andre Ward
2) Floyd
3) JMM
4) Pac
5) Klitchkos

Why list "Klitschkos?" Vitali shouldn't be considered an equal with his brother to where they have to be listed together. He doesn't deserve it right now.

And who would those "types" be, other than the K's?

There's no way Floyd can be behind Ward

Ward has fought EVERYONE that has challenged him and they were all in their prime fighters. If Floyd hadn't fought smaller and post prime opposition for the last 3.5 years id def have him at #1. Hes def the most skilled fighter on that list
