    Should Khan and Brook Be considered the number 2 and 3 147 pounders today?

    We've had a lot of casual fans hyping up Porter and Thurman on here but look what happened to Porter and I sense the same thing will happen to Thurman. They are both overhyped Americans just like Lacy, Jacobs, Berto, Mike Jones, Mayfield etc, all were overhyped and made out to be something special at one time. Porter just joined that list and most probably so will Thurman.

    With Pacquiao getting KOd by Marquez and Marquez losing a controversial decision to Bradley, Pacquiao beating Bradley easily twice, those 3 cancel themselves out as top 3 welterweights. And lets not forget that all three fighters have ducked Khan already.

    With Mayweather claiming the top spot, even though Floyd ducked Khan himself too, can we safely say that Khan and Brook are the number 2 and 3 welterweights in the world today?

    Did Maidana, Manny, Marquez, and Bradley retire?

              No they shouldn't but Brook is bordering top 5.
              I wouldn't call Jacobs a hypejob either hes a good fighter who just so happened to lose to an excellent talent & quite possibly the #1 MW in the world at the time.
