Exactly. After Stevenson/Kovalev and maybe Fonfara they are all the same. The rest are just contenders competing to round out the top 5 in the division.
It's all guesswork after that. Barrera is a relevant contender competing for an opportunity at Kovalev and Stevenson just like Brahmer, Beterbiev, Shabranskyy or anybody else.
Stevenson / Kovalev
Beterbiev / Ward (?) / Fonfara / Brähmer
Alvarez / Barrera / Pascal / Gonzalez
Browne / Oosthuizen / Shabranskyy
Berterbiev is underrated because of his lack of activity.. Everybody in the boxing world knows that he's the biggest threat to Kovalev (and to Stevenson too as a matter of fact), starting with Kovalev himself...

Good breakdown. That's a more realistic picture of the division than any of the rankings. Although Shabranky beat Gonzalez but that's beside the point.
Only 2 fighters have separated themselves in this division.
