    Khan. The only reason I'd say that over Donaire is because Nonito will be 33 and Khan will be 28.

    Donaire
    Ward
    Bradley
    Kahn

    In that order. Kahn after Bradley only because of the unavenged KO. Everyone else on that list has an obvious flaw that will limit them. Mostly, getting hit too much and/or being reckless at the lower echelons. As fighters get better they will be exposed.

    I don't even know why Porter is on that list.

    donaire skill wise and Khan will be cash cow! Alvarez will fill out the Mexican champ in the boxing equation.

    Well, you don't often see fighters like Donaire or Gamboa, in the lower weightclasses with their style, still on top at 33.

    Ward doesn't rely on speed or athleticism so much, more so on good fundamentals, so I think he's the one best suited to carry success into his 30's.

    Five years is a long time, and anything can happen. Two years ago a lot of people considered Arthur Abraham an unstoppable beast. Now most people realize he is a one dimensional B level plodder. Five years ago Kelly Pavlik was preparing to fight Bronco McKart. Eighteen months later he was #7 on Ring's P4P list. Now his future seems uncertain. Like I said, five years is a long time in boxing.

    No doubt.

    Was only 3 years ago that Pacquiao was fighting at super featherweight and looking like his career had maybe peaked. If someone told you that in a couple of years he'd be beating the **** out of the likes of Cotto and Margarito you would have laughed. ****, 2 years is a long time in boxing, 5 is an eternity.

    In five years, the only star who will still be relevant after age catches everybody else is probably Hopkins.

    If Gamboa could tighten up his defense a little I really like his athleticism, though. I guess Ward.
