    1. GGG ( love him but he is declining)
    2. Lomachenko (explains itself)
    3. Usyk (character playing a huge part)
    4. Pacquiao (although not this version)
    5. Inoue ( although he ain't really been in a fight yet)

    Loma looked better than the others here in his fight with Rigo, he was exciting against Linares, GGG`s second fight with Canelo was more exciting, I have only seen Usyk once in a few rounds of his fight with Bellew and I prefer GGG and Loma but with Usyk moving up to heavy that could all change, Usyk v the big 3 at heavy could be epic. I saw Manny first when he beat Barrera and he completely outclassed him but it was one sided and wasn`t my favourite fight, Loma was more fantastic v Rigo which left me shocked even though it was a boring fight because Rigo offeed nothing. I watched Manny v Cotto and it didn`t do much for me, I didn`t know much about the tactical side of boxing at the time and wasn`t sure what to make of the bout, Manny struggled early on in that bout. The next bout with Manny I watched was his snoozefest with Floyd, the next fight I watched with him was the Broner fight which again was boring but Manny boxed very well in that one, the Manny era passed me by, I had fallen out of love with the sport during his prime. I have never seen Inoue fight apart from in a couple of film studies and he looks good and explosive, but Loma`s workrate and defense seem more exciting and impressive to me, when I watch Loma I am in a state of awe which means he pips this one for me, but GGG had the most exciting fight against Canelo in their rematch and he`s a boxer I admire, I watched him destroy Brook in another tasty bout two, so either Loma or GGG gets it for me.

    What exciting fights has Plant had that can place him second, I watched his last bout and it wasn`t very good or exciting at all, he doesn`t seem that good or really exciting either maybe somethings lost on me.

    I would say that AJ could be in my top 4 fav fighters now but he`s not the fourth best fighter P4P in the world at all and his lack of defense put me off him a bit v Povetkin.

    Tyson Fury, Loma and GGG only just miss out though. I would be have to be doing something special to miss any of these guys fighting.
