I never thought I'd say this, But I think Khan is a bigger threat to Floyd than Manny. . . I still rank Manny above Khan in terms of just general goatness, no question, but Khan's performance last night was pretty spectacular. . . Although Devon was quite happy to let Khan Circle to his right all night, but I think Khan broke Devon down mentally. He was scared of getting hit with shots he couldn't handle.
Thurman is still great IMO, Although his performance wasn't a crowd pleaser, I think it's hard to look good against guys like Bundu, but he still shut him out.
Top 10 would be be pretty much the same as Sterling Archer's but switching Garcia out for Porter.Comment

if matthysse and broner, heck if terrence crawford join the mix, then welterweight is even hotter than when floyd first faked retired.Comment

Crawford and Garcia maybe, Broner doesn't carry the power up with him, he's too small for WW in my honest opinion, He might be competitive against some of the lighter punchers, but realistically he'd probably just end up being the Zab Judah gatekeeper.Comment

he pretty much got thoroughly exposed by kell brook. garcia's counter would end his sloppy wild mad man attacks.Comment

broner isnt a small guy. sure power might not be there, but he isnt a small guy. he's a natural 154 pounder.Comment

That's an acceptable list. Khan did good against Devon but Devon isn't regarded highly at this point (Kell brook's one win against porter is more impressive than beating Devon and collazo).
Bradley was robbed so he maintains his spot and Thurman stays near the bottom for his lackluster performance.Comment

Yeah but until that happens. . . How can you replace him with someone who isn't even in the same division?, Sure he lost to Brook, but there's no shame in that. It's like what, 1 loss? . . Garcia just fought Salka FFS and got a gift against Harerra.Comment
