    Let the next best step up.
    Khan is definitely not the best in the division.

    I think it's between Brook and Thurman.
    Based on resume, Tim Bradley deserves a mention. I agree though Kell Brook and Keith Thurman are up there as well.
    I think based only on resume though. Bradley is a warrior but I wouldn't give him much chance against any of these guys anymore, to be honest. Come to think, has he ever beat an actual welter? Brook and Thurman are big strong dudes, compared to anyone he has fought.

    What has Thurman done really? It might be between them, but Thurman hasn't done much to deserve that top spot?

    Bradley beat up Marquez at welterweight, which is better than anything Thurman has done by far. I don't disagree though that he's getting long in the tooth. I'm holding back from saying he's over the hill until the Rios fight, which by the way is a very solid fight too. A more fun fight than this one is on paper IMHO.

    Oh I was basically saying the same thing... Bradley has the better resume for sure, but if the fights actually happened I don't think he has the physicality to beat Brook, Thurman, or even Porter today. Clearly Marquez is a better win than those guys have and I didn't think Bradley could do it so fair point, but if I'm honest I think JMM is/was overrated as a 147 pounder as well. Take Pacquiao off his resume, and he didn't even handle moving up to lightweight without struggling greatly against inferior fighters.

    Bradley beats Porter. Thurman I'm not sure of yet.

    Ingesting fight.
