    haye - Will struggle to unify the division but he has a chance.
    froch - Will have his work cut out to hold onto the belt.
    khan - I feel he will sadly be stopped when he fights a big puncher. Has great ability though.
    ricky hatton - Hopefully he retires.
    kell brook - Tough division, I feel he has the talent (if he continues to improve) to get to world level.
    audley harrison - Domestic level at best.
    sam sexton - Chin/stamina will let him down, got some good straight punches but that's about it.
    tony bellew - Looks quality, needs a test.
    rendall munroe - Should win his eliminator, but will have his work cut out winning a 'world' title.

    1. Haye
    2. Froch
    3. Hatton
    4. Khan
    5. Rhodes

    That's how I have my top 5.

    I disagree about it being his best performance but what does that matter? PBF is still a top fighter today whereas Audley is still **** 10 years on

    Rhodes was in my top 10 before that fight, and you really can't say Moore was shot going into the fight - he looked awesome in his previous two fights and had a great war with Rhodes, not the actions of a shot fighter.
