Current WW

#1. Floyd Mayweather - WBC WBA
#2. Manny Pacquiao
#3. Kell Brook - IBF
#4. Timothy Bradley
#5. Shawn Porter
#6. Danny Garcia
#7. Amir Khan
#8. Marcos Maidana
#9. Keith Thurman
#10. Devon Alexander


Bottom line is Kell Brook deserves a shot at any of the top 5 or 10 for that matter in the WW division. Kell has the tools to give Floyd and Manny problems and possibly beat them.

Sadam Ali

Put my top 12 because i wanted to inc Ali and Spence. It's really difficult to predict the boxing landscape even a year or 2 down the line but i can see Ali and Spence being among the WW champions. Brooks time is limited imo, he looks big at the weight and will eventually move up. Brook and Bradley will almost certainly fight, either at 147 or 154.

You thought Porter best Brook? If Brook fought Broner Broner wouldn't hear the final bell.

It's not about who I think beats who, it's about who has beaten the better competition. Porter has beaten Malignaggi and Broner, Brook has beaten only Alexander who compares.

No, Brook beat Porter not Alexander4. Khan beat Alexander.

My bad, I meant he only beat Alexander but Porter has bigger wins in comparison to Brook.

He hasn't fought Alexander, his only big win is Porter. Porter has only 1 decent win, so if you rate porter at 5 then that's a great win on Brook's record, Porter hasn't beat a top 5 WW.

Porter has a big win over Alexander and one over Malignaggi but those wins are more significant than what Brook has done who only has Porter on his resume.

Newsflash: Brut knows nothing about boxing. He only posts here to defend Floyds honor like a crazy superfan who probably has a restraining order.

Idiot. It was a simple mistake.

Two mistakes, turB, compounded by your lame attempt to defend your position that Porter is better p4p than a dude he lost to decisively.

Brook is too high, his title winning bout was very close and his two challengers since have been hand picked no hopers. Brook is very strong and a big welter but there's no way that he is number 3 welter, he's had one real win (very close) at world level.

that's your own opinion, this is my list and if I wanted to i could put whoever i want on it. i put Porter ahead of Brook because Shawn has better quality wins over him despite the loss to him, not that I have to justify anything to you.

Apart from maybe Bradley and the obvious 2 who should be ahead of him? DG has no good wins at WW, MM lost to Alexander, cant put Porter ahead of him (I didn't think it was that close, the only clean effective work came from Kell), Thurman has only 1 good win himself (Guerrero) and should of made easier work of Collazo if he was better then Kell, Khan doesn't have as big of a name on his WW record like Kell has Porter.

When PBF retires in May Kell will hopefully have 2 more big wins and be recognised by most as No.2 at worst by most, although I'd bet money now that he beats Pac.

I'm not calling you out or anything, but if your list is based on body of work (who has beaten better comp) then why are Bradley and JMM in front of Pac? Or do you use different criteria for different fighters?
