Kell Brook v Errol Spence Jr - 27/5/17 Sheffield UK

[Batman]

The reason we're doing top 5 is because that is what @Batman said.

Yeah and we saw how I negotiated the bet between Primo and Master.

As well as being the dark knight I'm the broker, the negotiater, the taskmaster, I'm the motherfucking promoter

Who can be sold to the highest bidder, has no morals or scruples.

1. Carl Frampton - Featherweight

Belfast (24-1, 14KOs)

Frampton became the first Northern Irishman to win a world title in two weight divisions by outpointing Leo Santa Cruz in New York but lost a majority decision in their rematch in Las Vegas at the start of 2017. Does a trilogy beckon?

2. Kell Brook - Welterweight

Sheffield (36-1, 25KOs)

Brook gave a good account of himself against middleweight king Gennady Golovkin before being ground down by his rival in the fifth round. He will not give up his IBF welterweight title and a long-awaiting fight against British welterweight rival Amir Khan is still a possibility.

3. James DeGale - Super-middleweight

London (22-1, 14KOs)

DeGale battled to a tough majority draw against WBC champion Badou Jack in a unification match on 14 January, having fought only once in 2016. The Olympic gold medallist and current IBF world super-middleweight champion has plenty of options in a brimming 168lb division.

4. Amir Khan - Light-welterweight

Bolton (31-3, 19KOs)

Khan caused a major surprise when he announced he was jumping two weight divisions to fight Mexico's Saul Alvarez in May. It was a step too far for Khan who is now evaluating his options, including a potential mega-fight against long-standing rival Kell Brook.

5. Lee Selby - Featherweight

Barry (22-1, 8KOs)

Selby put a scrappy world title defence against Fernando Montiel behind him with a stylish victory over American Eric Hunter in April 2016. 'The Welsh Mayweather' could still be on a collision course with Carl Frampton despite his IBF world title defence against Jonathan Victor Barros being called off after the Argentine failed a medical test.

6. Anthony Joshua - Heavyweight

Watford (17-0, 17 KOs)

Following his comprehensive knockout victory over American Eric Molina in December, Joshua revealed he will put his IBF belt on the line against veteran heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko in a mega-fight in April.

7. Jamie McDonnell - Bantamweight

Doncaster (28-2-1, 13KOs)

The tough Yorkshireman defended his WBA title with a points decision against Venezuela's Liborio Solis in November. A match with fellow WBA title-holder Rau'shee Warren could follow.

8. Billy Joe Saunders - Middleweight

Hatfield (23-0, 12 KOs)

Saunders was impressive in dethroning Ireland's WBO champion Andy Lee. He believes he is good enough to take on Gennady Golovkin or Saul Alvarez but failed to show his best work in his unanimous points victory against Artur Akavov at the end of 2016.

9. Anthony Crolla - Lightweight

Manchester (31-5-3, 13KOs)

Crolla gave a fine account of himself despite losing the WBA belt to the gifted Jorge Linares. Everyone would like to see him challenge WBO champion and fellow Mancunian Terry Flanagan, but it might never happen because of promotional differences.

10. Terry Flanagan - Lightweight

Manchester (31-0, 12KOs)

Flanagan successfully defended his WBO lightweight belt with an eighth-round stoppage of Orlando Cruz in Cardiff in November. A unification match against fellow Mancunian Anthony Crolla is a mouth-watering prospect but might be nixed by politics.

come on @Master, despite actually quoting a post in which it was agreed that it would be a top 5 you decide to copy and paste a top 10

Right, Mr. "Copy and paste" , you have Amie Khan in your top 5. That automatically bars you from this debate because you clearly know fuck all.
Don't sit on the fence giving people an option, be decisive and pick YOUR top 5. And if you mention Khan once more in a serious debate like this , I'll call PK For his top 5. 😂

[Alpha]

McDonnell shouldn't be there either. He clearly lost to Solis. Switch him out with Flanagan.

[Fenster]

Khan has faced 14 "world" champions going 11 wins 3 losses. Now regardless of the quality or the physical state they were in at the time that's pretty impressive by anyones standards. Only a proven world-class operator is producing stats like that.

I'm all ears if someone can make a case for 5 British fighters with stronger credentials than him?

Come on @Fenster, you're a font of knowledge , and I respect that massively, but in those wins, you're counting people like a shot Alexander, an old MAB who wanted to continue despite not being able to see due to a head butt, who also fought at a career high weight by the way, Kotelnik and Algieri , 2 very weak World Champions, Algieri having hit the deck SIX TIMES against Manny, and that's just off the top of my head, I could dissect it further if you like.
Now, back in the real World, what the fuck has Khan done in the last 6 years to stake his claim to anything?
I'm genuinely disappointed that someone as knowledgeable as you would resort to sound bites and hot air.
Let's keep it real please.
