    Obviously this is a matter of opinion and hopefully some future fights can decide

    Can see a few of these happening in the next couple of years

    Groves v froch (obviously)
    Groves/froch v degale v smith
    Quigg v frampton
    bellew v cleverly 2
    Brook v kahn
    Brook v gavin
    Crolla v burns
    butler v hall
    Butler/hall v yafai
    Woodhouse v coyle
    Bj saunders v Eubank jnr
    Fury v chisora v price v joshua

    Price, Chisora definitely not and Fury really not tested yet at the top level.

    Even if they are all cr*p which I'm guessing is what your implying there still has to be a pecking order so your answer makes no sense.

    1.Froch (Groves + Kessler 2013) (Bute 2012) (Shut out Abraham 2010)

    2.Khan (Diaz 2013) (Judah 2011 + Robbed vs PEDerson) (Maidana + Mali 2010)
    3.Groves (Johnson 2012) (DeGale 2011)
    4.Frampton (Cazares 2014) (Martinez 2012)
    5.Murray (Close showing vs Martinez) (Blackwell + Draw w/ Sturm in 2011)
    6.Chisora (Johnson 2014) (Scott 2013) (Robbed VS Helenius 2011 (Sxton 2010)
    7.Macklin (Russ 2013) (Alcine 2012) (Robbed vs Sturm 2011)
    8.Burns (Mitchell 2012) (Katsidis 2011) (Martinez 2010)
    9.Afolabi (Draw w/ Huck 2012) (Brudov 2012)
    10.Fury (Cunningham 2013) (Johnson + Rogan 2012) (Chisora 2011)

    Just can't see how Brook or Gavin should qualify, no standout wins.

    Guys like Groves, Murray, Chisora, Mack and Ola credited for title fight performances.

    DeGale with a good W over Gonzalez will certainly be top 10, should be there on talent alone.

    Quigg + Clev prob take 11/12.
