    Keith has some good wins and over the past year has beaten two top 10 WW's in Porter and Garcia.

    Who does he need to beat to get into the top 10?

    Either beating a Pacman who looks like he has plenty left in the tank, or convincingly beating the winner of Brook/Spence should do it. Not sure I see either happening though...

    ^this. Hed destroy pacquiao and the spence/brook winner would be a 50/50 competitive fight. Winner would definitely be top 10 if not top 5 p4p.

    Personally i already have keith in my top 10. Some people just dont like him i guess.

    Beat Pacman and winner of Brook v Spence, 100% top ten for me.

    He's already flirting with the number 10 spot now. A win over Spence or Brook would put hip top 5 in my opinion.

    Thurman's resume is better than Giftlovkin's and Kanvolev's...

    Beat Brook and Spence or Pacman and Khan and he could be in there. Also, a win versus Bradley wouldn't be bad either. Right now though, I see at least four of them beating him.

    I'd say he's there or about right now, his body of work recently is excellent. Excellent wins vs Porter and Garcia. Didn't like him much before but he's growing on me, he's on a roll.
