What's your top 5? This is an exciting time, as no one has seemed to secure the #1 spot post Floyd/Manny era.

1.) Brook (had a much easier time with Porter than Thurman did... but who else has he fought? Not a solid #1 by any means, Vargas fight will tell a lot).
2.) Thurman (undefeated, but Porter fight was razor thin, giving Brook the edge).
3.) Bradley (Only 2 losses on record were to Pacquiao. Impressive resume. Proven).
4.) Danny Garcia (a gift decision pushes him down the list, but he belongs in elite discussion).
5.) Porter (gatekeeper... warrior.)

Honorable mention: Spence Jr. (Undefeated but still proving himself.... could easily be #1 in 2017).

My biggest concern here is what's next for Bradley? Tim better hope Bob will put him in with someone outside of Top Rank if he wants to stay in this discussion.....

Bradley
Thurman
Brook
Garcia
Porter

on the cusp: Vargas, and Spence
