    They're the only active upper level fighters right now who

    1. Try actively to fight guys who they know will probably beat them
    2. Don't run
    3. Don't play diva catchweights
    4. Don't play diva A-side junk
    5. Don't wait for their opponent to get old

    Its really a shame that Lara isn't in there just because he apparently breaks #2 according to a majority of posters. I consider what he does as boxing. I guess we can all respectfully just agree to disagree on the whole "running" matter as our understandings of what running consists of differ.

    Bit early to be naming Porter in there, is it not?

    His only fight against the top opposition would be against Brook - and that was because Brook was his mandatory.

    The organisation who'll strip your title if you don't. Porter's certainly not paying step-aside money to anybody, is he?
