    Why Rigo? I think he has lots of time to enjoy himself in professionals, the guy fought only 13 times. Same with GGG and Bradley, they are close to the level of Floyd and Manny who are dominating the sport being 37-38 years old...As for Wlad he himself said like month ago that he is really inspired by Hopkins and wants to continue his career for at least another 5 years.

    Rigo will be 38 in five years time generally by then guys in the lower weights are done at the very top level.

    Bradley while being a great fighter has been shown to be just below the very elite level and at the age of 35 there will be a new group of younger, stronger WW'S taking his place.

    GGG is all potential at the moment but he has done nothing close to prove he is near the level of a Floyd or Pacquiao.

    As for Wlad we can only hope that someone reaches his chin in the next five years.

    You don't think felix verdeijo or oscar valdez will be top 10 pfp in 2019??? I know it may be too soon but wilder could be up there as well, plus there's a handful of prospects with tons of potential. I think it's too difficult to predict something like that 5 years from now.

    I'm looking at OP's list and half of it will be retired in five years.

    Rigondeaux- retired
    Ward- retired
    Golovkin- retired
    Klitschko- retired
    Bradley- retired

    What the **** is this guy thinking?
