Woah, wait a second, you have Bradley at #2 coming off a loss but not Manny the man who beat him? I don't understand that at all.ok, top 5, no particular order (excluding manny and ***** boy cos its too easy). So here's mine:
Wlad
Bradley
Rigo
Froch
Canelo
My criteria was hypothetically H2H in fights against guys in and around the division, career achievements, skill, recent form, opposition faced and titles.
For all you Americans, no Ward isn't on mine cos I can't even remember the last time I saw him fight.
Honourable mentions go to:
Canelo
GGG
Uchiyama
Hopkins
Stevenson
Kovalev
D GarciaComment

Had to
at this one ... but here goes ......................
Wlad has been Champion for 9+ years and undefeated in 10 years. In spite of the talent level presently active in the heavy-weight division, Wlad has beat all comers.
Almost forgot part two: Ward is still the undefeated super six tournament winner and current Champion.Comment

GGG is nowhere near the convo
Is he talented? Damn right
Is he proven on the top, elite level? Not yet
Therefore he does not belong.
There are too many people with comparable talents and better resumes for him to break the top 5 let alone even the top ten.
Mayweather, Klitschko, Danny Garcia, Canelo, Roman Gonzalez, Andre Ward, Froch, Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez, Rigondeaux are all more proven on the elite level...he is not
When those guys fought his level of opposition they look awesome as well.
Gotta proof your worth in the ring to be considered a top 5 fighter in the sportComment

Mayweather
Pac
Rigo
Ward
Wlad
In about that order
Although i can see Bradley in the top 5 in place of Wlad based on quality of opposition faced and beaten.
Canelo & Froch are on the fringes of the top 5.
And GGG doesn't even deserve to be in the discussion as of right now. He's not even top 10 in my book.Comment

He has been champion of the worst heavyweight division. Flat out dark ages. He fought nobody, and the two times he was touched, he got knocked out.Had to
