Everyone seems to agree that it is beyond ridiculous that Khan is ranked above guys he's lost to, above other champions in the division, above guys who's been in the division their whole careers - despite only having fought one fringe contender in his entire 147 lbs career.
With Pac and Floyd gone and Bradley needing a win (I still have him no. 1 though) who is clearly going to supersede Khan? I can only name Brook cause of his IBF belt. Who else? Porter? Possibly. Thurman? No. Spence? No. Algieri? No. Anyone else? No.
So Khan at number 2 isn't that bad. I don't agree with it but then I'd only have him slightly lower.

Porter has wins over Broner, Malignaggi, Alexander (who was champ) at the weight. Plus lost a MD to Brook.
Thurman has wins over Guerrero, Chaves, Zaveck, Karass, Collazo and Diaz. So on top of what Khan has at the weight, Thurman has all those other guys.
Both of those guys should be ranked considerably higher than Khan.
Add Garcia to that as well. not only did he beat khan, though at another weight, he also beat a guy that beat Khan + Guerrero + wbc belt.
Spence would smoke Khan, so based on that alone he should be ranked higher.
